"Don't take any mediocre tackle"....that seems like da** good advice anywhere...Thanks for the post. 46# is super fish. I have been fishing the W coast of the island in various spots, many fish in the hi 30's to mid 40's, nothing above 50. I have seen a few real 50's. So I head North. Picked Shearwater because I can fish both there and Hakai.
BTW, Coho Killer is an excellent King lure , esp w welded rings - you can get them that way at factory. They tend to get unbent but that just seems to make them fish even better with the warped twist they get. Had 4 fish right at 40 in 50 minutes off Catala w my Dad. brass and silver spoon w red Hotspot flasher....Great lure at Tofino (off Portland Pt) mid-water this summer also.
Again thanks for the info.
