caught yesterday morning (3 sept) with a dart in less then 20 feet of water....learned a little trick, I was having trouble keeping the big guys hooked up with the trouble hooks on the darts, Gary from holiday market sugested to switch to a siwash single hook. it worked well...dj

WoW, Nice fish.

Nice fish mouth. That fish looked bigger in real life.

In what general area did you catch the king?

bellinham bay

Nice fish DJ

I had figured that was where you caught it.

Right out from the "pancake house" would be my bet.

I always switch the treble to a siwash (or a double octupus setup).

When I used to fish early run kings/b-mouth, off of admirality head, I only landed bout one outta three!!

Problem w/those types of jigs is the fish shakes his head and that big ol jig goes back-n-forth eventually working the hook lose..

I always use the smallest jig that will reach bottom and stay there, seems to help.

But. I was always fishin where the candlefish were right on the bottom...

Good Luck n Tight Lines

Sincerely,
Roger
