Rick, thanks for all your informative videos. My son and I watch every one. We live on Whidbey and have had good luck this summer in Area 9. He landed his first Big King in July.... You have a great way of describing all of your methods and techniques, this is our first year so every bit of information is greatly appreciated.... Hope you have a great rest of the year and good times fishing!!
That's the key, the tackle shop owners are using them with HUGE success. The rest of us spend $20 on this year's special flasher color and find they work about the same. The guy you are talking about has sold over 1,000 of them!
I have been doing this for 2 years now but I buy water activated lights from Amazon for $10 for 5 pack. I remove the metal housing and hot glue the light in a hole I make with a step drill. I know this has increase my bites when king and silver fishing. I have also attached them to white flashers so will see how it works for pinks
Lights for Kings is very old news. On the Great Lakes in the 1980's, we experimented with glow tapes, paints, and light sticks. THE most effective flasher add-on were the simple and cheap light stick placed into a slot cut via router in plastic flashers. Also effective was the use of small light sticks within the squids. Use if a simple bread tie for attaching them was all it took. Silver Horde or Luhr Jensen I believe also experimented with the J-plug/light stick design. Again - varied levels of success were rewarded as the UNLIT black J-plug or a pink pearl in the same spread was just as effective. For Casting from shore (when they became available) was 3/4 ounce Acme Little Cleo Glow Spoons. You can likely STILL find them in use during the evenings in about every harbor where Kings cruise in the fall, and still pulling in some brute sized Kings nightly - want to find out "where" fish are being caught? Just LOOK for camera strobe flashes as they "recharge" those lures!! LOL Old time commercial fishermen tell us - when the bite is ON - you can catch fish on darn near anything. Our task as fishermen now or a century from now, will be to coerce those fish in neutral to negative moods into committing on a bait, so be it a recycled idea with present level tech, or a hand full of grubs from under logs - they STILL have to put their mouth on it for us to bring home dinner! PS - if anyone EVER runs across lure made in Pinckney, Michigan called a Ping-A-T...and IF it is a "Glow in the Dark" lure AND has rattles... mortgage the house and BUY IT! You'll feed your family well with Kings once you learn to s l o w down your retrieve and use it at night~ HOLD ON TIGHT .... never saw Kings so HOSTILE with any other lure!
