![]() Stand on one of the islands, do a full cast left and right, reel it in with an occasional stop / twitch, and find out where they are sitting. But you can use the bigger ones for fishing the main canal from the islands, going for the big Chinook, as Maj.Tryhard already mentioned. The shallow cranks with the #3/0 hook work for most areas, as most of them are not that deep. Dull colours for sunny weather, brighter colours for cloudy weather. You can always try the different crankbaits. When it comes to lures, there's a lot of stuff that works in Alaska. Partly because I didn't try it that much, partly because of the strong current, which makes it pretty frustrating at times. I didn't have that much success with bobber fishing. As soon as the slack is out of your line TWITCH your rod using L2, reel in 5-10ft, then lower your reel speed to 1 TWITCH, reel in 5-10ft, then raise to 2 TWITCH, reel in 5-10 ft, lower and repeat.To me, Alaska is more of a spin-fishing location. Sorry I was tired when I posted.Įdit: The trick is to have your reel speed set to 2 when you begin your retrieve to pull up the line slack. Twitching everytime you switch reel speeds. Now they are one of my go to lures.įor some reason it won't let me edit the post, I forgot to add an important part to the technique. In real life, I love crank baits, but it took me some time in game to learn how and when to use them. A few weeks ago I discovered using a 23' to 30' crank works well in a couple of different places at Michigan, and in Florida, on a Sunny day, as the day progresses, and it gets hotter and brighter, the Large Mouth will move to deeper water, and I will progress with cranks starting at 3' early, then to 6' and then to 8'. ![]() Hell, I use all different types of combinations, especially if thing are slow and I need to entice a strike. And I like the way you change up depth of your cranks. I would advise peeps to change it up also. Good for Walleyes, Largemouth & Brown Trout. I have method I call the "Double Clutch Burn" which starts as soon as the crank hits the water at speed 3 for a few feet, then to 2 for a few feet, then to 1 for a few feet, stop.then burn again starting at 3. For me, it works with a lot of different fish in a lot different venues. ![]() The ole' Double Clutch method I call it lol. The other players that tried it had the same results. I was gettin 3-6 bites every single cast and catching a fish almost every cast. As soon as the slack is out of your line twitch your rod using L2, reel in 5-10ft, then lower your reel speed to 1, reel in 5-10ft, then raise to 2, reel in 5-10 ft, and repeat. The trick is to have your reel speed set to 2 when you begin your retrieve to pull up the line slack. Now for the trick I figured out which is in the retrieve. Cast against the current and pull your rod to the left and reel with the current. Cast towards the trees as far as you can all long the opposite side river bank(red area in photo). The location is starting at the cabin, turn left and run to the last "island" in the middle of the river. Lures: 16ft 6/0 Rainbow crankbait(produced most), 12ft 6/0 Blue and White crankbait, and 8ft 6/0 Lemon crankbait.Ĭhinook - Sunny 5am - 8am and 7pm - 9pm, Partly Cloudy 5am - 3pm, Cloudy 5am - 10am and 1pm - 9pm.Ĭoho - Sunny 5am - 8am and 7pm - 9pm, Partly Cloudy 5am - 3pm, Cloudy 10am - 9pm. Rig Setup: Rivertex Zeus 8'10" rod, Thunderspin 5500 reel, 35lb fluoro.( 2 ticks down from max drag) I confirmed it with 3 other players there that it works. I was trying a lot of different retrieves and baits to figure out worked best and stumbled across an amazing trick. It was my first trip there and SnaveEidde showed me a spot for them. I just figured out a trick by accident for unique and trophy chinook and coho salmon in Alaska.
