Seeing as how it’s probably going to be pretty quiet now that the Chum derby is over. I thought it might be time for something humorous. What is the goofiest, or most unlikely gear that you have caught or seen Salmon caught on.
Off the top of my head I’d probably say my kid managed a strange one. We were at Poet Nook and a Pilchard jumped out of the water and landed on the dock. The kid through it in the cooler. We went bottom fishing later that afternoon and were using heavy rods with 100 lb spectra, 1lb weights, and spreader bars with 18 inch long 60lb mono leaders. For a laugh the kid put the pilchard on. He caught a Coho as he was bringing the gear up. So much for the long light leaders that moochers think necessary, go figure.
Coho can sure be stupid at times. Also in Barkley Sound I’ve seen Coho striking my downrigger clips before I could even attach the line. What about you guys, I'm sure you've got some funny stories.
