Title: Rerun time. A nice King Salmon.
Post by: gstours on February 10, 2020, 05:47:16 PM
As our crappy weather is persisting with rain and wind the thought was ''this can,t last forever'' so we will wait it out.
    Our King season is open in the winter here and there can be some skattered fish caught,  Its never crowded with people nor boats so serene is expected.  Here is a pretty fun clip of a day we had awhile ago I wanted to share again.  Its possibly motovational in one way oar another.

Thanks for the question.  I,ll get back to you on this, butt the direct drive and smooth ness of the drag is what I favor.   10-12 pounds I,m guessing.   It takes that when pulling a diver with a large flasher at 3-4 mph.   Drag creep is not good.   Thanks.🎣👋

Gary,
I have been following your chinook trolling for the past seasons,
10 lb ish, yeah, trolling em big flashers puts out some resistance.
My boat does 1.9 mph at idle, so I am guessing with 2 rigs in the water I will go down to 1.5 mph, might not need a bag to slow me down.

God willing I will troll for chinook by myself this spring and can't wait to try out my moooooochers :-)
