Was out at the bronte pier last night and ill say that when i was there only me and a handful of others were the ONLY ones casting lures... everyone else was "bottom bouncing"...

 

I must hand it to one fellow who was casting spoons and he snagged a realy nice coho, i netted it for him, and he quickly realized it was snagged and released the fish immediately! you dont see that very often, especially at bronte!

I dont keep any fish at all not for eggs or any other reason just for line pulling fun thats it.

nothing beats a freight train hitting your spoon and taking you to hamilton

Peter, do you prefer the Kraft brand or will "No Name" work just as well?

so... How do you fish that rig?

Don't let the resident salmon snobs see that. Apparently using a marshmallow makes you a knuckle dragging snagger.

isn't the saying "go big or gome home" good with the mallows too?

did a pier trip this past weekend. i stopped in the shop just inside the harbor and right up at the register, at the impulse buy spot, was two boxes of some sort of wacky pretied rigs. I said, hmmmmm, whats in the box. He said "tight line rigs" We got em in chartreuse and flourescent orange. I didnt uncoil it to see exactly what it was, but in the ziplock bag was a coil of mono with a single hook tied on, a treble hook tied below that and each hook had a tiny glow in the dark tube jig on it? There was a styro glow spinner in there somewhere as well.

I try to stay away from both brands they leave a sticky residue in my ears and when its hot out its disgusting

[Headhunter]

My mistake! I can see this as a multi-use piece of tackle... great for fish and even greater once you get home late and the chirpin starts!

ok I have to admit, I'm really new here. Do marshmallows really work, better than using a roe bag?

Oh hell yeah! Salmon guys love those things....I think they call it "matching the hatch".
