My brother and I got back into the salmon gear game, bought a boat, and have been getting after fish with all methods, but I am new to this 360 flasher game. Today we hooked up with our first fall nook and I’m sold, it was such an epic grab, but after a couple head shakes she was gone.
I’m struggling with a couple things:
1. When to use 12oz vs 14 or 16….I’m fishing from the D up to the Reach, which I don’t think I need to run 20s, but maybe I do?
Is it more related to the 1-1,000 thump? Or depth?
2. Aside from rigging flashers with breakaways (I get how to retrofit them, I’m working on it) is there a best way to fight fish; should I cut power? Keep trolling speed???
3. More specific to fall chinook in the main stem, what depths/structure should I be targeting and as a rule what depths are these fish suspended?
Any helpful feedback would be appreciated. You can tell me to get fucked, too, I get it
