My partner was amazed today as I kept getting hits on my "Bob Ball Secial", a modified brass vibrax spinner (see Great Summer Run Tactic in the Past Tips Section of the Web site). I got hit after hit all day on a heavily fished river near Seattle. Jack Kings, Kings, A Summer Run Stealy, white fish, etc.. all hit this magic spinner.

Another hot tip: How to make a pesky King look like an Atlantic.

1) Dry the gill plate using a towl, rag or dirty sweat sock.
2) Apply extra black marks on the gill plate using a permanent water resistant marker.

Voila!! Atlantic!! (No real kings were harmed for this experiment....)

Next week. What the 3rd oar in a drift boat is used for. (Hint: It is not there in caes you lose an oar. We happen to call the 3rd oar the "OAR OF FREINDSHIP).

Glad to hear you found success with that tip Eric ... alaso happy to hear from Pat that you found another little trick we've been using Hope you didn't have to use the oar fo friendship on your trip, I thought we were saving it for a special fella on t he coast
