Went out last weekend sat and sunday. On saturday hooked into something that felt about pink salmon size and lost it. Probably a giant pikeminnow or something. Got tired since there was no surfacing and started coarse fishing. All i caught was bullheads and one shiner. On sunday casted off the rocks and hooked nothing. Went up to the top and witnessed schools of chum surfacing. Rigged up a spoon two feet from the weight and started casting like mad. Got one strike but didnt manage too hook up. That was the only hit and that school was gone. Waited for another school wich took about 20m. Started casting but no bites. Hopefully it will pick up in the next few weeks.

Tight lines,

Here's a tip for you Josh: don't use weights with spoons.

[joshuag232]

Ok. Any reason not to? I dont normally but they were jumping way out farther then i could cast so i needed weight.

It hinders the action of the spoon. You can use small weights with spinners.

Ok thanks for the info

Oh yeah forgot to mention this a couple brought a crab trap to three road pier and caught crabs!??! They were all dungies and undersize. Maybe the small ones come into the river from the ocean???

Really? Even if you are using pencil lead as your weight and 6 feet of leader?

to minimize the effect of a weight on the line for casting spoons, use a piece of hollow core pencil lead above your swivel, running the mainline thru the pencil lead. works fine for me.

I think that is possible since no.3 road pier is only a few km away from the ocean

Works fine for me as well, also a bouncing betty works good at slicing throught the water with a bead swivel for line twist. Colorado,s trolled can really tangle up the line.
