Finally!
Finally!
A couple of you have been very helpful helping me towards my first salmon quest. I have been working Keeler Bay and the causeway all week. Today it finally happened! Nothing record worthy except it was my first. (Pretty sure I missed at least one more if not two) I was actually trolling with my kayak, had never done that before. I know many of you have been doing this a long time with success but there is something very satisfying about targeting a species and getting it! I actually switched up my rainbow kroc to a Kastmaster (silver) and that did it...two fat bellied yellow perch too.
Re: Finally!
that is awsome . great job are you hooked now? the silver is working this spring so far , a freind was down on shore this morning when i got there about 7:30 am he had his limit fo 2 salmon and 1 steelhead and was heading home . guess what he had on a silver small kastmaster. i wen with the blue ice krocodile you will have to read my post on my lure. keep at it its going to be a fun ride.

Re: Finally!
That's awesome! Congratulations! It took me a long time of trying before I finally caught one paddling.
I know exactly what you mean about targeting a species, and the excitement of finally getting one.... and then the excitement of refining the technique.
I like the fact that the Kastmaster did the trick. Despite the fact that I often get advice to use something else (and I give that advice too) I really like those simple old kastmasters.

Nice work!!! Way to stick with it!!!!
Re: Finally!
Congrats on your catch it only gets better!
Re: Finally!
Nice work. I paddled/trolled about 4 miles in Whallon Bay this morning (5/8), but no hits. I put 4 salmon in the kayak in May '16, but it's been scoreless trolling since then.
