I use walleye boards instead of tx-22's. Despite the name they pull better then tx-22's.
I pull full cores and 300' 45lb copper with em. They do lag back a bit with full cores especially but work none the less.
Long lines will bounce and move around with the waves, this is normal. I just set the drag just high enough to not let the board pull out on its own. When a fish hits the drag peels out. I also don't set my boards to release.
Even 4 pound steelies made a noticeable pull on the drags.

lately its been a spoon bite and fast like 3.0-3.5 SOG
did have a couple days where flasher/flies really shined at this speed aswell.
Normally im at 2.3-2.7 SOG range with an even balance of each.
If im running a plug heavy setup (august) then im running em slow like 1.7-2.1 sog usually, and a couple super slims or stingers which run better slow then mags.
Of course always let the fish keep you honest. Sometimes a plug run at 3.0 is hot, or a flasher/fly reaaaaly slow just pounds em. Mix it up and listen to the fish.

Putting 5 fish in the box is pretty good from the mixed up fishing today. Nice job man
-
Also, 2 of the fish we caught had adipose fin clips most likely having coded wire tags in them. First for me to catch.
I had 4 clips on monday, but there was no info sheets in the freezer at the cleaning station. Cmon Dnr....

Nice to see the fishing up north has heated up aswell!

Great fishing this weekend offshore. Went to middle of sliders turned southwest in 170 and ended up south of the point both days. SW troll at 2.7 to 3.0 was key. Stayed along temp break. 56 surface 43 degrees 15 foot down.
9 for 15 Sunday night and 15 for 22(?) Monday morning.

I have a long net and nerves of steel so I usually run 12-15 foot leaders on dipsys. A little shorter for flies/meat rigs.
I have lost a few fish to it though.

I never thought I would target greasers and sheepies to win a tourny
Date seems ok thus far, will know soon. hope to be there.
-
Great work yet again. Hopefuly theres some fish left when my boat is ready. lol
-
make sure there is no rings on the dipsys and set em at 3 to get you further away from the boat. Cohos don't mind the wake at all either.
-
Great job! Nice to see lots of kings in the catch.
Just send em north!

As far as channel fishing:
I usually run slow. very slow. but in holland channel last year combat fishing everybody was moving fast, 2.7 - 3.3 SOG.
Instead of being ran over and causing a headache for others i sped up to about the same.
I did catch a few but find myself going slower to be better, at least for the spread i was running.
-
Thanks as always for reports. Especially like the spoon boards.
-
If you want fish in GH fish the beach. 6 - 15 FOW. Lots and lots of brown trout.
-
You catching that many means I should at least get 5 fish on my next trip
-
Is there a maximum water depth to look for or just where you find them?
al
There no maximum. When you find kings 75+ feet down big paddles with longer leads on flies always seem to work.
Ive used paddles 160 down in 220FOW and caught fish.
Mid day/high sun I switch it for a meat rig with a big paddle.
-
Is that correct that you were using a 7 color?
