From May to July I like to fish shallow. Weightless Texas-rigged trick worms work well for me shallow and drop shots if you're fishing 5+ ft deep. I don't think many o the fish hang deep unless the air temps getting into the high 90s, the lake water tends to run cool enough for the bass to stay...
Thanks for all the advice, If I want to have a chance at both steelhead and chinook, would 15-17# be the happy medium? I feel like casting on my 3000 reel really suffers with anything 20# and over. Mono just never really worked with my reel, the line memory was such a pain to deal with. I'm on...
Anyone think running 12# P-line flurocarbon as my main line is too light for a spinner setup when bank fishing rivers? I just tie the spinner straight to the mainline with a Palomar knot. A 8.5# steelhead snapped my line as I landed it and I lost a chinook the other day. I just really like how...
