puget sound inquiry

Hey everyone so im gettin excited for salmon fishing in the sound and am wondering what are some good combos to use... i will be using divers not dr's and i have a small assortment of "salmon" size dodgers and one green delta in-line flasher along with hoochies, coyote spoons, brads cut plugs, and know how to cut plug a herring... is this a good assortment or is there anything else you can think of im really hoping to catch coho this year but im always hopeful a king will jump on the line to. 

I'm a long way from there but don't overlook mooching rigs and jigging lures like a point Wilson dart

I tried divers about three times and got sick of it. Want to buy mine just send a message. I'd recommend a mooching rig or lead core line instead. Those are much easier than dealing with a diver.

Yeah I started to tie my own mooching leaders (have a bunch of hooks and line so why pay for em right ) and have a bunch of darts from when I could only pier fish...

Havent tried mine yet but got them in a good deal on some dodgers off of ebay so I figured as long as I have em might as well try em ya know... heard similar things though from other people so if I don't like to pull the divers ill try some lead core or just use a larger version of my koke trolling technique with a sliding weight set-up

Looks like your set to me.

really depends on whether you're talking about kings or coho.  for kings, I think the best way to catch them from a kayak is mooching.  cut-plugging isn't hard.  A foolproof method is using a tool like this:

Mooching is also the most fun way to catch fish, IMHO!  Drift, drop, reel up, repeat. 

For coho, different.  This is my recipe:

You have to cover water which means you have to troll.  I'd rather mooch, but it's just not as effective.   Use the biggest green fish flash with red/silver reflective tape you can find.  30-35" of 20-30lb flouro to the herring (red label herring in a rhys-davis UV anchovy special).  A downrigger works best but you run out of gas very quickly.  Just as good is 4, 6 and 8oz sinkers (lead ball on a sinker slider or a crescent sinker) 2 feet in front of the fish flash.

start at 40 ft at first light and then move down 10-15 ft per hour.  After say 10am stick at 90 feet if possible.  Though despite what PBers say, you can still catch coho shallower - all day long.  And you also don't need to go deeper than 90.  You also have to troll fast.  2.5mph is the minimum, but 3mph is ideal.  It can be exhausting.  Count on getting a good workout

I'm excited for salmon fishing too!

I tried a deep diver a few times and gave up. Using a fish finder over time you can see the depth the fish are running and with a diver I could never be sure of its depth.  Then I tried heavy sinkers, 6 and 8 oz, but I had the same issue. 

I never tried leaded line.

Finally, I put a downrigger on the Revo and caught a lot of Coho last year.

Rory's suggestions are pretty good.  With pedal power I had no problem keeping up 2.5kts (~3mph) for as long as necessary
