sorry Joe, but the Surfcasting RI logo is covered up by my shades.
Probably a good thing seeing as I am on a boat... :tm:

Sorry forgot some details.

Fishing was done in & around Juneau. Tidal diff of 24 ft!

Kings we caught trolling strips of herring with a squid teaser and some kind of big metal trolling plate about 5 feet in front. I don't remember what he called this thing, but everybody out there uses these things, I guess to impart action to the bait. 5 rods on three downriggers fishing @ 45 feet. I will burn the most productive spot in the photo below. Sorry to all you Juneau board members. The white blob in the middle of the picture is the Mendenhal(sp?)glacier.

Sweet!!! It is really beautiful out there.

NICE PIX !

I think it is as close to heaven as I will ever get . 12 days and counting

I think they're called Planer Boards?

Those are awesome pics.....I would love to go ther someday myself

looks nice!!! :bounce:

Beautiful Z. Thanks for sharing.:kewl: Your livin the good life.:D
Musta been tough leavin.:(

they are called flashers / dodgers . they are used to attrack fish from a distance and to enhance the action of your bait .

Planer boards are used to keep your bait running a certain distance out from the boat a determined depth .

Ahh, I stand corrected. I wasn't a 100% sure on that one.

Dont stand , have a seat and be corrected
WOW

I answered a question seriously ? I dont remember the last one so save this post it might be my last one for a long time !

Unreal!! Really nice trip!! Some day...some day.... I gotta do something like that..Did you charter a trawler? or sail?

Nothing like salmon fishing Alaska....I am fortunate enough to do it EVERY summer......

If it is on the line, not a seperate rigger - I think they are called dodgers - they are used on Lake Ontario as well. Usually with Prism tape, they are flash and simulate a school of bait.

Dodgers = flashers (same thing)
Planer boards are different - they are sometimes called dipsy-doodles.....keeps your trolled line at a certain depth.
