Hello my US friends. Sorry to hear about the king salmon situation down there. I once again extend my invitation to come and share our fishery. There are some harvestable numbers of hatchery chinook/king salmon especially in Nootka Sound and Esperanza. All sheltered water fishery, if you want. Supposed to be good returns of 30lb tyees this year. Here are some of my latest additions to the trolling spoon lineup. All with long lasting anode and stainless swivels and hook. Puts out over .6volts and will last 1 to 3 years, depending on usage. I also have 4 patterns of larger 5/0 spoons if anyone is interested. Good FishinI tried to mimmick as close to a 742 hoochie as I could. I know it is a Puget Sound favorite. SEVEN FORTY TWO GREEN BANANAS What more can I say. AURORA (Northern Lights) with lots of light refraction. Ever popular MOON JELLY Just like the flasher material. MARILYN (diamonds are a girl's best friend). *GLOW* MONKEY PUKE with vertical ghost stripes. ICEBERG very refractive including the silver stripe.

They do look rather nice. What length's are available?
I could see Green Bananas or Marilyn working well for me on summer / fall fish and Moon Jelly and Iceberg for winter BM.

Sure do look "tasty" Anything that looks like a small black cod? Late August last year we got into a huge area of small black cod and Coho were all over it!

I like the looks of the "Black Bart" for the Hood Canal. Is that UV tape and a chrome belly? I lost some of my color vision in my service days.
Also, what speed is your lure designed to run? Do you recommend fishing the 3.5 spoons behind an eight or eleven inch flasher?

The spoons look great!
Another question. Would a barbless 3/0 sickle siwash be an acceptable change out for the 3.5 spoons? They have a shorter shank, but I could hang them back off a small swivel for the Canal?

Canada's pending postal strike averted! Phew! Back to business. In the meantime ...... I have had a pro-staffer working out of French Creek (inside of Vancouver Island). He had asked me to make up some special spoons for him as he had much luck with that combination with other lures. I did this for him, he tested, he outfishes everyone including local guides and I named the spoon after him. It is the Svensen Special. I have only made up a few in size 3.5 for now. They are only available in French Creek Store and on my website. Don't enter the derby without some 'juice'. Over .6 volts on all salt water lures.

Hey Jerry. I just went through my old log books as I used to troll commercially up there. I made notes on several lures. If I were going, I would have Marilyn 4.0 and 5.0 (glow white crush), and/or Mini Pearl 4.0 (white chameleon crush, like Tomic 602 plug), Army Tank 4.0 or 5.0, Moon Jelly 4.0 or 5.0 (chameleons between pale blue to pink to fuchsia purple). It covers 3 of my favorites - 500 (blue), pink, purple haze. In case there are too many salmon sharks, a voltage tuned hoochie pack (2 each cop car, army truck, glow white, bahama blue and Pistachio green). Knight Sky hoochies (I was thinking of that country when I chose that pattern). Also an assortment of anodes to 'juice' your own hoochies, plugs, spoons. I used a lot of OC39R and 0CW40R? Blue/green and medium blue with white or clear belly. Otherwise get a big net, seal bombs and Capt'n Morgan, aaaaar. If you order anything for up there, I will upsize the hooks for you. Let me know.

Those are beautiful! They remind me of coyote spoons. What brand hooks do you use?

Fished off Esperanza Inlet this past week. Used the 6.5" Pilchard Tyee Candy and the glow white octopus. They out-fished my regular go-to choices. The Pilchard was run at 200' on the wire on highway. 3 nice Chinook in less than an hour. Never got around to trying the spoons. Will be running the gear some more in MA 6.
Thanks, Allan

I like to run my hootchies 18" to 22" behind the flasher on 50# flourocarbon. Spoons I'll run 3' to 4'. Rig a flasher with a long leader to a hootchie and one with a short leader. Run them beside the boat to see the difference in the action. When I went to the shorter leader, my hook-up ratio went up quite a bit. The fish have to be aggressive to take the hootchie on the shorter leader.
