We have not posted much lately as far as fishing reports. Because we have been busy fishing. The Inland sea has been challenging this year. But we always seem to dial in the fish. I will say there seems to be allot more searching to get them dialed in. That being said we are seeing bigger fish then we have seen in the last couple years. Yes we are also catching 16-18 inch fish along with some shakers. But we are seeing more fish well over 4 pounds and into the 6 pound range. We were double booked Saturday and picked away at the fish in the morning. On the afternoon trip we got into fish right away. The biggest of the day was this 26 inch 7.74# Salmon caught by our client. Reelax was right next to us. Not sure if he heard happy comotion. The fish came on 3 colors of lead on a number 2 white needlefish. We have been fishing the surface down to 30 feet depening on the day. Lead 1-5 colors does the trick. Flash kings as well as needlefish hvae been doing well for us. Find the suspended bait and find the fish. Good Luck! Capt.

Hey capt nice fish. Clients must have been thrilled! I am wondering what you mean by three color lead, and five color lead? Thank you I am using leadcore line. Leadcore line comes in spools of 100 yards and each ten yards are marked with a color. Each color gets you down approximately 4-5 feet depending on boat speed and current. I have been running 3 colors Approx. 15 feet down. With the recent weather we went up to 5 colors and then this weekend we are back to 3 or so. In late July I will sometimes run 10 colors, the full core. that is 300 feet of lead another 50 feet in mono. It is a lot of reeling, but some days it saves the day. Capt. Tony

Hi Capt. Tony I'm curious as to why lead line works when riggers don't.
Thanks Captain Bill Birch

Hi Capt.s Tony & Bill. I would like to weigh in on the lead core question by Bill. I have been fishing lead core for about 40 years. When the fish are at a depth where I can reach them with lead core, I by far catch more on lead core than riggers even using the same lure. I believe it is because the thickness of the lead core line is caught by the wave action, when there is waves. This also makes the rod tip bounce more creating more action on the lure. This is my theory anyway. I am interested in Capt. Tony's answer. Jerry

Hi Capt. Tony I'm curious as to why lead line works when riggers don't. Thanks Captain Bill Birch Captain Bill, what Jerry has posted is for the most part what I find also. I believe the lead line gives the lure a much different action, then lures run of the down riggers. Some guys actually bleed in 3-4 feet of leadcore and run it on there riggers for a different action. I always run lead lines along with my riggers. One thing to remember is not to run long leads on the riggers if you are running leadcore off the side. You can use planers to get them out. But I find that is over kill to run a couple lead cores. I also always run tight to the ball on my riggers. So it is a non issue for me. This year we have caught many Salmon on the lead when the riggers were not producing. But I find usually that we catch more Browns, Steelhead, and Walleye on the leadcore versus Salmon. This year that has changed. Also earlier this spring before the bait was set up, and hard to find. We could not stack our riggers even 10-15 feet apart seemed to put the fish off the bite. We went to one line per rigger and leadcore and the bite was on. That has now since changed as we are seeing bait. I think that stacking earlier when there was very little bait, looked unnatural to the fish. They in my opinion were on the look out for a single stray bait. As I said this is my theory and opinion. So who knows! So to sum it up. I believe the leadcore gives the lure a much different action as well as gets it away from the boat. If running leadcore with riggers use a short lead on the riggers 25 feet max. When you get a fish on the rigger it is wise to consider pulling the lead on that side of the boat to prevent crossover. I do this when I have a decent fish on. I hope folks fin this information useful. I am also looking forward to hearing from others ideas on it. Good Luck! Capt. Tony
