The Dumbest fish in the world

[@PavlusAdventures]

Nice video man. Was this mid July? I just posted my last video from Wenatchee. It was in august. It was so slow haha

[@NorthwestCatch]

No just a couple weeks ago. We were there on the tail end of the good bite. First 3 days were fire then the bite fell off hard the last 4 days we were there.

@@NorthwestCatch yea I was there august 10th last, and it was super slow.

[@NorthwestCatch]

@@PavlusAdventuresthat was right around the thunderstorm that dumped a bunch of hail and lowered the water temp 5 degrees overnight. It picked back up

[@PavlusAdventures]

@@NorthwestCatch oh dang. That’s good.

Nah, the dumbest fish in Washington are the flounder that hit absolutely everything, especially the Rock Sole. They've followed my line up and kept hitting my sinker numerous times

[@NorthwestCatch]

You have a great point there. They can be really annoying

I saw you doing some mealtime fishing this last summer at Point defiance. I met an old timer at the antique Outboard Motor club that introduced me to mealtime fishing. He started fishing Point Defiance with his brother and dad right after the Second World War. I bought a big box of plugs from him and two of his mealtime set-ups with Alvey reels on them. I bet they would work for Kokanee too.

Hell ya. Cool story. You found some good stuff

If you want to get around the having to troll slow thing, switch to a green/glow hotspot and a Michael Bait tied 22" behind the hotspot. Put a 2/0 siwash on the Michael Bait. Run at least 2 of them and it helps to stack "dummy" hotspots. You can't fish just one - that doesn't seem to get the fish to bite. Need at least pair of them in the water. Don't ask me why. Troll as fast as you want too. Sockeye will hit the Michael Bait and the 2/0 just impales them up through the head. Done deal. I learned this from an old-time commercial sockeye fisherman. It works - used it Lake Washington where everyone fishes bare hooks and has to troll slow. It worked exceptionally well. Way to get your lovely ladies on to the fish! They will remember this forever.

Wow thanks so much for the advice. I will definitely try this next year
