Thank you for all this valuable information! I took the family out to area 10 and finally brought home a beautiful chinook last weekend! Do you have a link for the ace fly you use for the resident coho? Had some success with spoons but would like to try the ace.
@@joshuawebb8576 yeah buddy, here you go! Throw a herring strip on this and you’ll be all set! johnssportinggoods.com/product/bait-lures/goldstar-ace-hi-fly/ace-hi-fly/goldstar-ace-hi-fly-uv-needlefish-purple-haze-312/
I like to double stack downriggers or tripple stack 20 ft apart in depth on the line. I go 30 ft setback for bottom rods 20 for middle and 10 for top rods
Thanks for all the info! Any tips for a kayak angler that can rarely troll below 80 feet due to limited weight on my downriver? Maybe jigging locations or shallower waters to troll? Thanks!
Excellent information! I do have a clarification question on the gear placement. John mentions that both are at the same 25 feet off the downrigger. Does that hold for depth as well? meaning, both downriggers are at the same depth, and the same 25'?
@@DanKellermortgagezero chance I’m fishing the exact same depths on both sides unless I’ve already got multiple fish in the boat. Allowed 1 king per angler, no reason to fish same exact depths.
I do better when there’s less people. Social media has ruined salmon fishing in the sound especially at the bubble averaging 100-200 boats on the weekends with maybe 1 fish for every 50 boats. One FB post ruins it all.
So if we both catch fish and have success, does it bother you that more and more people are showing up and reducing your chances because of all the posts and people bragging their catch in a certain area. Because it doesn’t help. Just making fishing more complicated and not as fun because of all the people.
If your hook doesn’t stick to your fingernail, switch it. Salt water eats the hook! I’d rather spend 75 cents for a new hook than lose a fish. But u will spend $30 for gas each day and not put new hooks on?

Thanks for the podcasts. I bought John's book because if you're show. I had never heard about John's sporting goods, thankful for this info 🙏
That’s awesome! Glad the interviews help! John is the GOAT on the salt!

Can you do a video on coho fishing??

Yes, clipped by your downrigger clip above your flasher and both at the same depth... Giving your fish a choice in gear to attack.

How to fish without down riggers?
Jet divers were working 140 ft of line out for us. One of my downriggers fried a motherboard so we had to improvise
Pt. Wilson darts, mooching
Hey can I go fishing with you John??
I do better than most anglers on the water fishing in around 30ft of water.
For Chinook?
@@kashfiqbal yep
Interesting. I’m a kayak angler and cannot troll at the depths most are for kings. Is this only in specific locations?
@@adamnoga-styron7882 How big are the Chinook you are catching?I catch Kings at that depth often, but they are generally undersized
@@nattybumppo4151 I would recommend mooching or jigging instead of trolling

Social media has definitely helped add some boat traffic, but the guys that catch fish still catch fish.

1 fish for 200 boats 😂😂 maybe open your eyes I've seen more then that caught every single time I've been there this year
Changing hooks every 6 hours 😂😂😂, yeah sure more sales for you 😂😂😂 cone on man, also throw away flasher every other day 😂😂😂
Hey bud, he doesn’t own the store any more, he’s retired. I do the same thing.. just a good tip, no agenda :) Tight lines!

I cut the stock hooks off the Goldstar spoons when they come out of the package and a new Owner siwash hook goes on every day I fish. Hooks are cheap!
throw away flasher?
Bud is trippin
