"A venturesome minority will always be eager to get off on their own, and no obstacle should be placed in their path; let them take risk, for God sake, let them get lost, sun burnt, stranded, drowned, eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches-that is the right and privilege of any free American."
--Edward Abbey--

Prawn spinners for Springers 101

posted in How To Print
By Jammer



There are many ways to catch Spring Chinook in Portland’s waterways. Many big fish are taken
locally using various techniques
such as drifting eggs, trolling cut plug herring, Quick Fish, Flat Fish and Salmon Spinners.
However, my personal favorite and
most deadly technique is using Prawn Spinners. They are  deadly for much of the springtime run,
and their efficiency in taking
large salmon, increases as spring passes through.

The first time I saw this little grey box in a store I thought it looked interesting but just couldn’t imagine good video coming from a tiny little camera. And then it didn't have a LCD screen? Deal breaker I thought. That was a few years ago and since then GoPro has really made some great improvements. I got to meet one of their representatives and when she handed me the camera I was sure it was going to be a little gimmicky thing that really wouldn’t measure up to what we as kayak fishermen want in a camera. Boy was I wrong!

Product Review: KoneZone Flashers

posted in Product Reviews Print
Reviewed by Spot



Kayak trolling can be a real drag….  No, not that kind of drag.  Rather, the kind of drag that makes you wish you had a rudder and outdrive.  While 6oz of weight and a spinning herring are manageable, the addition of a flasher or dodger can easily prove to be too much.  Enter the KoneZone flasher.  With its slow roll and reduced drag, the KoneZone flasher is perfectly suited to kayak trolling.

Heres how I decide to “GO” or not..

Keep in mind that these are just forecasts, they can be much better and they can be much worse.  With experience, and access to several sources, you will get better and better at finding those “doable” days.  Keep in mind if you only fish when the forecast is  “absolutely perfect” you won’t fish much.  Sometimes you just need make an educated guess and “roll the dice”,  heading to the coast to decide if its “doable” when you get there.
