Son's first king salmon..and second, and third...6th...Homer, AK
Day one he is limited out with two kings before I even get touched. He releases two more over the course of day 1. It takes dad 5 hours to catch up to him and land a couple of his own. Day two he promptly lands two for his limit while dad strains water for a tiny 3 pound fish. ARGH! But who can complain? Very proud of my ten year old son and thankful for my father who took the time to take me out fishing so I can pass it along to my kids! As always, offer is open to forum members to come and fish with us!!!! C'mon a ten year old can do it! Let's fish!!! The video: https://youtu.be/kGZYFwCn9xQ Day 1 Photo: Day 2 photos |

so to be clear... if for some reason you fall out of your yak.... without the suit you'd be dead in about 20 minutes?
and we are crying over a few HH sharks. Great stuff. thanks for sharing how you do it up there. |

Very nice!!!!!
What length rods are you guys using? I know a lot of guys use long rods while salmon fishing, but I feel like that would be a pain when fishing out of a kayak. |

Thanks all. C'mon up! Believe me, I get every bit as envious watching your catches from up here!!

Even with my down rigger I like these short sticks. That big bend theory is a myth in my book. the few feet you gain from the snap is lost in the blow back and the angle of the line at any depth that means anything. I like my rod to bury the hook when it comes tight. Most of my fish swim with the bait after strike so you need a solid hook set. My preference is to pedal like crazy and let the stout stick bury the hook. I should add I can do that since I run 50 pound braid and 40 to 80 pound fluoro leader. Thickness is good for multiple fish which includes the dozens of pollock I catch with tiny but razor sharp teeth. |
