Salt Water Fishing Tips
Tolling for kings I like to have a 1.8 – 2.0 knot speed. I like to use Hotspot flashers and hoochies (imitation squid) or spoons. One of my favorite hoochies is the green splatter back, the Seahawk (green & blue) purple haze with a white glow flasher is also productive. I do use a lot of others but these are my favorites.
Fresh Water Fishing Tips
For kings the most popular method is back trolling Kwick Fish plain or wrapped with a sardine fillet. I fish the deeper holes but you have to have flow to make them work and dive well. If there is no current I will use floats and eggs.
Drift Boat Fishing Tips
Side drifting is one of the most popular methods in conventional steelhead fishing. This can be done with bait, yarn and rubber worms. This method runs your gear alongside the boat for a longer, more natural looking presentation. On my guided trips I set up my gear the same from the line on the reel to the amount of lead and the leader.
