Nice fish,

 

with your boat why peir fish, I take my boat down too bronte and park just out of reach of everyone casting and start casting.

 

Lots of room :)

 

We typically only have an hour to an hour and a half to fish in the evening, so prepping the boat, launching and then taking the boat out and prepping it to be towed home is hardly worth it. We have thought about it though, when there are lots of people down there!!

Nice work dude! That seems like an efficient strategy and I think I'll employ it either this evening or first light tomorrow at the mouth of the Humber! How heavy is the line you are using? I don't want to get spooled and I maybe have 125 yards of 50 lb braid. At the same time, I don't want the fish to snap the line if I try to muscle it in. I've only been out twice trying to land salmon off piers and have yet to actually even get one on so I have zero experience in this realm.

 

I had 50lb braid on a Calcutta 250 baitcaster last year. Almost got spooled real fast, I snapped the fish off when I saw the black tape @ my spool. 10 1/2 ft St. Croix casting rod and I could not turn its head. Changed to 30 lb braid and no problems. Now Curado 300 and it has tons of line capacity. I still get outcasted by the spinning guys but not by much.

Hope this helps

Jose

 

Cliff, nice fish
