Kayak Fishing For Springers Seminar

I will be there. Since I work in Hillsboro it's nice and convenient

Looking forward to it.

I'll try to make it and maybe my son again, too. I used my Hogg's coupon after the salt water meeting. That was a nice gesture so thank them profusely for letting us use their facilities.

I still have the Budweiser from your last class at Hog's.  I haven't been fishing enough with Jammer lately to get rid of it.   I may be able to attend but, the in-laws will be in town if that is Spring break.

It should be noted that Hoggs is actually on SW oak not se oak. I had a hell of a time trying to find it at se oak.

   Sounds like a great time. Unfortunitely Im. on the North Slope until March 27th. Can I sign up for a view of the. video ? I would like to share this info....

Thanks for doing this Spot!  I will try and make it.

A quick reminder that Thursday is Springer Clinic Day.  We got a lot of people into Spring Chinook last year but I want more of you posting glory shots with these chrome sticks of butter this year!!!

    Any new word on video for those of. us who
   Are out of town that night ??

What do you Kenai guys think of the prawn spinner setup? Ive never heard of that being used on the kenai but it looks cool.

Shhhh....I was going to try that.  Lol.  Kings are so hard to come by in the Kenai I can never get myself to do it.  I also think shrimp are scarce in the inlet but could be abundant where they grow.  I know the Kenai rainbows lived them when bait was legal. 

I also was thinking about getting a fe dozen sand shrimp fed exec up and trying it.

I will say two of the kings I caught in anchor point cook inlet off my yak were herring brined in pollock and shrimp oil so I now they don't hate it.  Oops...another secret...lol

It's hard to say.  I know you can catch kings back bouncing just a spin n glo,  they hit a sardine wrapped kwickfish and we don't have sardines up here.  I guarantee a shrimp spinner will catch fish.  The question is will they catch more fish....ok, I'll bite.  I will try it this year...from a power boat.  The true test is fishing them next to the standard stuff and see how they do....

My dad had a friend who caught silvers using smoked salmon for bait.  I've caught trout using fried chicken, when we were ice fishing trout were picking up the bones we were throwing down the hole.  I have a native friend who swears by greasy fried chicken for halibut. How valuable is your time and what is your utility/satisfaction level of being pioneer? Mine is high so I will try it!

I might be looking at some video options myself if they come up. It'd be almost 200 miles round-trip for me to head out there from Hood River. Plus, I'm wanting to head back out there to fish on Saturday?

Decisions, decisions...

True

I plan on shooting video tomorrow.  If all goes well, the raw video will be availabe for a short time to contributing NWKA members.  I'll also make my outline available to those members.  Keep in mind, this may take a little while.  In real life I work full time ++, take care of a family and still make time to fish and surf.

Long term, I hope to make a series of videos available online on a subscription basis.
