Fished the Bar with Ken my long time guest here is my 6 day summary from Facebook:
A great 6 days at the Bar totaling 47 hours of rods in the water trolling. 4 wires and 2 Riggers for two of us. Sunday was the best day with an insane bite! We landed 70 Kings / 3 LT / 2 Steel / 3 Coho over the 6 days. 1 nice king on the LOC board for awhile before it gets booted in the next few days. All were released to swim another day and the one we registered 20 lbs 12 oz 40" we gave to a couple of fisherman visiting near the Youngstown weigh station on the river. Smart Troll system was amazing tracking my Slide Diver wires in the water. It was 80% wire bites this week! Great time!
I fish with wire only. Flea reason first. Second I no longer run any braid. If your running 4 divers and the wire crosses a braid it will cut it like a knife!
30 lb Mason Camo brown wire 1,000 ft per reel.
8-8.5 hours one way including lunch and restroom stops (lol). Old guy. 430 miles one way most of it Toll road I-90.
