Nice! Those are some nice fresh lookin salmon. Ok, Coralsea, where is local ?

While bottom fishing 2 days ago, I managed to hook a salmon from right under the boat, using a 2oz. jig while everyone else was droppin up to 1lb. weights/bait for rockfish. Area closed to salmon, no tag for my license. It was fun usin a light rig and gettin a nice silvery runnin fish like that.

Your flasher and spoon looks like the same stuff we use on the other side of Pacific ocean.....Northwest U.S.

Looks like you had a fun day on the water.

We may live on separate continents, but we have many things in common. Thanks for sharing

 Our gear may look very similar but the one big difference is we have to pinch down the barb on the hook which allows some fish to easily shake the hook
Title: Re: Local salmon trolling
Post by: Gobi King on July 18, 2018, 02:47:39 PM
Very similar to the what we use in Lake Michigan for Salmon,
How deep are you trolling?

We are in 120 to 250 FOW and target the thermocline at 65 ft to 85 ft down, sometimes little deeper, then the 400 Copper wire rods come out.

Who makes these? I have never seen anyone in MI use them

Danke, those lures seem to be pretty meaty, I am guessing from their shape they have slow roll?

Op, that is a neat boat, I love your rigging on the boat, how did you mount the downrigger?

We got three recently.
A new season started in a hard way.
Three trips before with zero result.
I still have engine problem (cannot hold the desired speed on trolling) despite engine service and maintenance before the salmon season has started.
I have thoughts that there is something with the engine's noise underwater, so the fish just afraid of it.
I changed the main line length up to 75ft from the rigger clip and had the goal. Will follow that way.
Cheers....

Scent is only marginally effective on trolled Salmon baits commercial fishermen in British Columbia use it very little if at all.

That's wrong-any bait a Salmon can swim up to it can and will catch & kill; what you're seeing is Salmon rejecting the lure because it's getting a small electrical shock when it tries to bite it-that's why they're all turning away like that it's right there in front of you just look at what happens with a 'hot boat'.

This is an old old subject here in BC all the commercial boats run 'black boxes' that regulate the production of electric current by the passage of the downrigger wire through the electrolyte-which of course is saltwater.

Sport black boxes are available on the market or you can perform due diligence and carefully go over every source of electrical current on your boat to make it's not 'running hot' or producing too much current causing exactly what we see in that video.

This  website  by an ex-commercial fisherman has some info I use his gear and swear by it

I am running the manual riggers(with braided line instead of the wire) + I have the rib boat.
I think that hook issue is just too "short" from the tail of the lure
And the size of the lure by itself is a little bigger for our cherry-salmon.
I will try smaller lures next time.

Thanks anyway.

First...movie...Silver Horde lure. I forgot to replace the factory hook....

Second and third ....movie...I played with the speed...But no goal so far.

I think the lure's size is a little...bigger...Need a smaller one.

Will test next time for sure.

just get supermarket fatback...  flattest pieces, so you get most rind
I think a weak Borax(boric acid?) brine can be used to soften the rind
I just beat it w/ smooth rock or chew it, 'til I get the right action  ::)

That water is amazingly clear.

When I was in that part of the world, US Navy 1986, 1989, approx. 500 miles east of Vladivostok, the water was dark.

Even the white caps had a green hue to them.

Kind of like the salmon water off Bodega but darker.

And man was it COLD!

We didn't get to fish though.  ;)

How many salmon per day can you keep CoralSea?
