Team Bälinge (Sweden) Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 pBdQAChSB28 Hi folks,I've watched and enjoyed shows like the Salmon Showdown and thought that I must get into some Great Lakes forum and learn some more. This post however shows a 10 minutes compilation videon from our salmon fishing outside Stockholm in Sweden, June 2014. Some speech is in swedish though. A special kind of fishing on migrating salmon with a really high average weight (roughly 20lb) but few numbers. A salmon a day is good! Top fish in the video is 18,4kg/40lb 9 ounces i think.So, not a Great lakes video but always nice with some perspective and learn some more. Thats why I'm here! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Hook Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Nice video, love to hear the lines screaming this time of year. I don't speak Swedish, but I bet I still can guess what you're saying when you have one on at the back of the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nailer Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Cool! Are all 6 of the poles at the stern of the boat hooked to those 2 down riggers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Bälinge (Sweden) Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Cool! Are all 6 of the poles at the stern of the boat hooked to those 2 down riggers?Yes, and it's 7 rods most of the time I think. (Spare rod do no good in the cabin...) No problem really. Stacked 10 feet apart and with about 8 feet difference in length. More than 8 feet increases the risk of tangle when the fish strikes.Standard in the Baltic is to stack 6 downrigger rods on a pair of downriggers.

Team Bälinge (Sweden) Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Nice video guys, thanks for sharing. I wish we had a 20 lb average!That's what makes it worth the wait. So few salmons but your heart takes an extra beat every time you hear that clicker take off... Down outside southern Sweden there's a fishing more like yours in style and weight as the salmon live and feed down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
