    High Tech Jigging

    That is a jig stroke I haven't tried for sure. It would be interesting to see what they think of that. I will second how fast they are, they swim faster than any of us can reel. By a lot. I'm sure we've all seen how many have boiled right at the surface after burning it up as fast as we can...

    High Tech Jigging

    I threw the whole box at them over the course of the trip. PW-darts (3 different sizes), coltsiper in a couple difft colors in 60 and 90g, shimano flat falls, etc. I varied my action a lot. I tried different scents. This is no anomaly. It's not like "oh, they just don't want it like that...

    High Tech Jigging

    I love jigging for chinook. But I can't solve the riddle of Barkley with this technique. This last weekend, as I'm sure everybody knows, Barkley was loaded with biting springs. I killed the first couple to the boat after a pass or two trolling and put the net away for the day. Caught and...

    2023 Bamfield and Barkley Sound Reports

    Might have an effect. Seems to be a monster-numbers chinook run in Washington too, I think this class of 3 y/o's migrated into a friendly la nina ocean a few years back as well. I don't know about you guys but I haven't handled a high % of 4 y/o fish this year. . .lots of cookie cutters and...

    Fake Pacific Net and Twine website?

    Yup, good call, I was going to mention that but forgot. I reported the site to Google, and suggest anybody else interested in the idea do so as well. Hopefully it will gain some traction and pull that site down. fb

    Fake Pacific Net and Twine website?

    Wish I would have seen this thread earlier. They got me today. Unreal deal on some mooching rods, with free shipping AND a 17% off "random discount". Such a killer deal I decided to order two! When my credit card info was entered and I pressed the complete purchase button, it stalled for a...

    Is Rivers Inlet the kind of place where a guy can bring his own boat and fish a bit? I'm guessing trailer to the north part of the island and launch and transit on a weather window? fb
