I hear Roland is going to be offering a "how to spin herring " seminar standing room only now as first one is sold out.....LOL LOL
If a salmon was smart enough to pick up on L-serine, wouldnt it notice the fancy helmet the anchovy is wearing? Hooks? Flasher? You'd have to wear gloves throughout the entire process of setting up your gear?
I personally like using scent but am more concerned about it when using plastic and metal. Using bait is using scent.
Fish with whatever gives you confidence..... Like wearing sweat pants and a beer t shirt.
I hear you Rum Buddies. There is a danger of over thinking. There are several factors that are much more important and guys on here have made some really good posts to explain those.Englishman you're falling into the mindset that happens to a log of anglers after a couple of years, they start to over think it. They start messing with adding scents, customizing tackle, black boxes looking for the new latest and greatest yada yada. The angler starts to thinks that the more complicated he makes it, the better the results will be.
The L-serine thing is clearly fact in a lab setting, but did you even read the study? It's done in an aquarium and not with fish that were actively feeding.
L-serine is a non issue, a red herring.
Look around at what others are doing, do you see any of the top sooke guides wearing gloves or anyone else catching fish for that matter? That's all you need to know.
I think that many of us have got the general locations, the roll and the gear figured out which has led to some decent hookups with a few decent springs. However, for me, the timing of the locations and hookups have been by guess and by golly. I don't get the consistent hookups of springs that wolf or profisher do for this very reason - I don't know where to be and when to be there with respect to current and tide times.
Do you fish in close on a high tide? Do you fish behind structure on a fast current? Do you fish the slack current and when it's slack current, which types of locations are best? These are all things I'm guessing at and know that getting better at this would bring much improvement on spring hookup ratios. Any help on this would be enlightening.
