Very cool Gary. Fishing with you and Danny at Escott was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Wish I was there again. I’ll have to try some plugs out in my boat next time I’m out.
Banana weights only when using cut plug herring. Downriggers on wood and plastic plugs. Speed depends on current. 2.5 to 3.5 good trolling speed. You want the plug to swim and have horizontal movement. Keep plug at least 39 feet from downrigger pin.
have you used banana weights in lieu of down riggers? how about trolling speed, continuous or can you you use the technique of in gear and then neutral?
i like how you guys are NOT pin pullers. i'm tired of everyone saying you have to pull the pin, it's far superior. i don't believe it. my only preference, and i wish it would take hold either with the industry in general, or even in the regs eventually, is a max hook size of 5. the Pacific Salmon Lab research during their catch and release studies show that above size 5 results in more serious and frequent eye injuries in chinook, so i've gone to size 5 max on all my plugs. beginning at 27:30 on this video you can see the discussion th-cam.com/video/8nThmHxQkaE/w-d-xo.html
Great comment. Hook size on those plugs were designed for commercial trollers. In today's world of catch and release the game changes. Thank you for the input

Thanks Theo. Time flys
Great video. I liked the plug fishing. No comment on the secret colours, though...haha. Top secret!
Colors don't matter it's all the same down deep
Love the grizzled look. Suits you perfectly
Called old age. Lol

Awesome! Thank you!

I made a bunch of j plug style lures, eager to try they out
Good info. Thank you

Trolling speed app 3 miles per hour. Banana weights are better for cut plug herring

Interesting comment about hook size…I always run one size up to the plug size. Ex. 5 inch plug gets #6 hook, 6 inch plug gets #7 hook.
