What we need are more fish and the tackle we have right now will catch...On my last post about halibut I talked about my techniques on trolling for halibut..This brought on a very intersesting conversation about dodger vs flasher...It has been my observation that each boat seems to fish differently, I don't know why but I fish with alot of very talented fishermen on some very nice boats and when I try the different techniques they use on my boat they don't seem to work as well...My point is I think you have to figure out what works for you using every technique that has been posted because they work and you need to have that knowldge filed away to try when the fish are being caught all around you and you can't seem to get bit.....Good luck to all John |

A Kajiki squid is very similar to a hoochie but the eyeballs are farther back; looks just like a small squid. I bought some to try on WSB, which hasnt happened yet. Cloud out |

Michele,
I googled "Kajakis" and did about as well as I did out there salmon fishing last week: NADA. Could the spelling be different?

Michelle;
I just ordered 6 packs of them from Todd at Bayside. Should have them next week. I haven't seen one but I think they are simlilar to a hootchy but more expensive at $2 a copy. They come in purple haze, glow chartuse, glow green and a couple other colors. They are pretty popular at Monterey so we will see how they do here. |

We fished out of PSL today and got lucky with an early morning bite. We had a 10 lb. and 15 lb. Salmon by 8:15. They were in 180 feet of water down 85 feet on the wire. We will be back in the morning to see if this will hold for tomorrow. Good Luck. Playing Hooky |

It looks like the Salmon season hasn't really shaped up like hoped for. So, how about fishing Baja, Mexico? I still have space available on my group bus trips to San Quintin June 1-5, and Bahia de Los Angeles July 1-5. Check my web site for details.

Greetings,
Fished Moss again today. Amazing how fast fishing can change from one day to the next. We managed to put two fish in the box, including a fat 20 pounder...but it was scratch fishing compared to yesterday. Only heard of a few limits, where yesterday there were many. Had about 8 knockdowns, hooked 3 and landed two. All three fish we hooked were on purple haze, red hot spot at 100'. Had a few hits on bait, but they didn't stick.
Do folks have trouble hooking fish when they fish bait? I probably hook less than half the knockdowns on bait. I'm thinking about just not fishing bait so I will have a better hook up ratio.
Hope the salmon fishing picks up here...otherwise I will be making another trip back to Moss. It is about a 3 hour drive from the Moss launch ramp to A.G.
best fishes,
steve |

Hello Will,
Please e-mail the volunteer schedul to me.
djaflc@yahoo.com
Talked with two fisherman out of Morro Bay, today
they said the bite was off. Had no reports of fish being caught.
The cause might be the low pressure coming again.
Good luck this weekend.
Best regards,

Harbor Hut has all my favorites. I kind of wish they would move it across town so I could save some $$ and lose some ##.
I wish I was as good at putting hooks in things as I am at taking them out.
I guess if I could use trebles it would be easier! |

Martine, I was expecting 20-30 knts with fairly crappy seas by this afternoon. Instead it was 0-5 knts. 5-7 ft. with a comfortably long period. I look at Diablo forecast and Northern California NOAA/CDIP Buoy Data. This way I get 2 forecasts to average- keeping in mind that Diablo is usually more accurate and NOAA is usually for 0-60 nautical miles ( big spread)- and real time buoy reports. Combine all this and you get a pretty good idea of what the weather will do-90% of the time. There was that day last year that I ended up 40 miles from Morro with the Hilliards on Ms Mackey, we thought it would be variable and it blew 40 knts off shore. Long ride home. Dicky kept the lines in the water though.
P.S. We tried on the bait and off the bait today and neither worked. |

Looking at the Lindsey forecast for Sunday...I am seeing 4 to 6 at 9 to 11 with Light and variable...I went out last Sunday with the same kind of report and got my fanny scared off the water in my small boat....Did I miss something in last weeks report? What does Sunday look like to you all....What do you see Michelle? I dont blame the Lindsey report. I rely on him....Ksby gives us nothing.... I would think that a local TV news station within a local fishing community would have better reports.Explicit to our safety and needs.. But then, KSBY doesnt seem to support local fisherman anyway..... Hey I want to thank everyone for all the info. on Flashers and Dodgers and bottom bouncing for Halibut.... You have created a very clear picture in my mind that should make a big difference betwen just fishing and catching...Thanks everyone. Marty |

You got that right ! Also look at her first paraghaph "....to restrict the salmon fishing on the Klamath River" The big worry was not the fishing on the Klamath river but the whole west coast, so you can see she really studied the issue closely.
A reminder; When a lot of small fish are being caught (Joe's report) be sure and check to see if they are Silvers before keeping them. I have caught several the last 2-3 years. The best way to tell is the lower gums right at the base of the teeth. They will not be black on silvers but they may have black elsewhere it their mouth. |

I guess it's a good thing that the Bush Administration screwed up as it's pretty much the only way you could expect Boxer or Feinstein to get off their asses and do something for such a cause.
I'll believe in their effort when I see it with my own eyes. |

Folks, I would like to share this response from Barbara Boxer. Keep sending those letters!
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns about a recent proposal by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) to restrict the upcoming salmon fishing season on the Klamath River . I appreciate hearing from you, and I share your concerns.
I was distressed to learn about the PFMC's proposal, which would limit the length of the fishing season and restrict the number of fish that can be caught. This proposal is based on an unreasonable worst-case scenario; it should be recalculated to reflect the better health of some of our salmon runs on other rivers.
Fishing communities are not to be blamed for our declining salmon population, so they should not be bearing the brunt of this decision. The problem today is the Bush Administration's water and energy policies, which do not respect the needs of our fishing communities.
If a proposal to restrict the upcoming fishing season moves forward, it should include financial assistance to keep our fishing communities whole, so that they do not face terrible losses. We must also work to change current policies in order to restore our wild salmon population and improve the health of the Klamath River .
Again, thank you for contacting me about this crucial issue. Rest assured, I will keep your views in mind as I work with my colleagues in Congress on legislation to address this matter.

United States Senator

We fished out of Monterey today. The best bite for us was in front of Mulligans. The fish were biting on krocs blue and green 5 feet behind a dodger 150 ft on the wire. The fish were big today from mid teens to 25lb. Limits for three were caught. |

Fished Moss Landing today in the Avocation. Started the day off with at double 15 minutes into trolling (8 & 14 pounders). We then went through a 0/10 stretch where we got lots of knockdowns, but couldn't put a hook in a fish. We finally filled out our limit at 1:30 with a small fish. The other fish was another 14 pounder and we lost a 15+ pounder at the net. Very good fishing. We fished NW of Moss in 160-210' of water. Fish were 80-150' down. Caught fish on RSK and purple haze and green/white hootchies...all with red hotspots.
A ton of boats out and most folks caught some fish...several had limits. I would hate to see what this place looks like on the weekend. Folks were courteous and shared info.
We'll be out there again tomorrow and then heading home tomorrow night.
This was our first time to Moss. Definitely worth the trip. Email me if you'd like more info.
best fishes,

I trolled for salmon today in front of the Rock along with five other boats that I saw (I got out after 12:00) and no fish were caught. The bait was mostly on the bottom so we trolled deep and caught one lingcod. The water was clear and 55 degrees.

The way I understand it, and I always appreciate being set straight, is when using a flasher or dodger, the lure with no action of itself needs to be 18" behind to get the action from the flasher or dodger. But, if the lure has it's own action, the leader is a lot longer, like 4 feet or more.
Example
Dodgers with hoochies have 18" leaders vs. flashers with RSK(or spoons, Apex...) can have leaders as long as 5 feet.
Hell, my all time favorite is the weight release with a 12 foot leader to a white spoon.

Will, the bite at santa cruz went on good yesterday, rotary killers are generally used with a flasher, i use 4ft. leader, better yet for bait get some fbr. FRANKLIN BULLETT ROTATORS. As for speed, put your gear in the water along side the boat and see what it does, if the rotators roll and give good action you should be ok,if not you may have to pick up the pace or slow down. As a rule salmon are lazy feeders so a slow roll gets hit. hope this helps den tincancaptin |
