cheers thanks for the help al
What do you use hillier420 do you just job for the salmon or do you troll a flasher and stuff.?
Will do.I have a hobie revo. I haven't been out yet this year for feeder just waiting for the wind to die down. but I had real good luck in the summer and the fall. I have hooked up a down rigger with a 5 lbs ball and had luck with anchovi. Tsquared pm me if your going out for feeder chinooks. See if I can get out.
I'll give you shout sometime --always looking for fishing partners.I wold love to have some kayak fishing buddies, its a little intimidating to go alone. Feel free to PM me if anyone wants a fishing partner.
Sammy--re the cutplugging--I think so too and I tried it last summer once or twice but I haven't cutplugged since Eric Philbrook used to take me to Porlier as a teenager in the 70's. We nailed lots of fish but Eric used to do all the rigging. I think I just have to do it enough to gain confidence in the method.Ts2, cool ride,could be an interesting cut plug platform...
Here's my set up on my Hobie adventure island when I was rigging it a few years ago. I made the wooden bench to rest on my outrigger arms and put my downrigger, fishfinder/plotter and rod holder on it kind of temporarily until I figured out where I wanted to mount them on the yak but after I used it that way for a while, I decided I liked it and left it as is. Having my dad's old downrigger on the haka eliminates any strain on the hull. You can see the neighbourhood boat inspector in the pic--I don't know how good he is but he works for peanuts.
Here's a pic from last summer at Otter Point.
