OPENING DAY

[ducks55]

Try out behind the dam from shore if you really want to go out. Never had any luck out there but I have seen some fish caught.

I've fished there a bunch. not this season but last. thanks for that. duck55

[ducks55]

Ever had any luck up there?

[alanger]

I went up there with some friends and 6 fish were caught the 5 hours we were there. Not the best day i would say. But i dont know we still gotta wait for the weather to blow over.

[ducks55]

What were you using if you dont mind me asking?

[alanger]

Well this one guy was flipping this thing that looked like a plug but we were just drifting eggs with a bobber about 4 ft of leader.

[ducks55]

Alright thanks

[alanger]

You going to go try it???

[ducks55]

Maybe. I have tried buzz bombs, super bait, vibrax spinners. Pretty much everything and cant catch a damn thing. I guess I might just have to try a bobber with some sand shrimp, tuna, or herring.

Have you guys ever tried running wobblers from the bank? they are killer on them fish in the lower river. You might even wanna try a super bait or the new super cut plug.

I have tried the super bait. What is a wobbler? lol

[fishcrazy]

A wobbler is a big spoon that will look like a small flasher and will have a hook on it. They just wobble back and forth in the current. The kings love them when the water warms up. Google for Brads Wobbler. Other brands inlude Clancy Wobblers, Simmons and Alvins. among others. They do require a little knowledge about tunning and such to get them to run right but I'm telling you the kings liek them in the lower river. I bet you would be hard pressed to find a boat in September not fishing them.  They can work well in heavy current. I have found some brands work better than other as they are thicker metal and take more current to "wobble" the thinner one will work better in lighter current. You can add scent and such to them as well. I like treble hooks on mine. BIG trebles!!!

I might have to try one of those. Would they work from shore?

[fishcrazy]

Yes they will!!! I have not used them from shore but rumor has it they can work very well. I know thye will need a long leader. maybe 50' or even 60' not sure fro shore but it helps with the "wobble" action. play with the tune as you don't want them to swing past 9 and 3 o'clock. I have done well with them from my boat!!!!

play around with tape or paints. I like to put an eye on mine about the size of a nicle or qaurter.
Thye can cause a very agressive take!!!!
Let me know how they work for you. post a pic or something.

you might try and get yer hands on some of these and run with yer fav. scent or chopped fish in them. They could be plunked from shore as well. They are new so don't know much about them but the guy who developed them is crazy over them!!! I have seen them in a tank and think they have that fishy action.
