OK troopers! Someone has to start the thread. It’s almost time! A couple more days.. Get ready to report’em up!
I’ll most likely start the second week always dropping gear in the vicinity of Cape Horn Light (Marker 67) and proceeding downhill to around Marker 46. Usually one pass is enough with most bites above RIDH. And fish every day until either I tag out or season ends.
Gillnets are in for 10 night in August and heavily the second half. (Every other night starting on the 10th.)
I like to keep it simple. Far too simple for many. A spinner with a stinger in three colors (Cascade or Colorado. It doesn’t make any difference.) or a Brad SB original in one of four colors: Rotten Banana, Hot Tamale, Double Diablo and She and I (when I can find them). Hold on there for a second…. That’s the same setups I use for Springers!!!
I don’t change spinners. I only change blades (it’s faster). And they are all tied on either 40 or 50 lbs UG and I do start with a new leader on each trip.
Anyhow, that’s what I do. Looking forward to another good season. Hope everyone does good.

What a difference a day makes... 10x as many boats and relatively few fish caught. Ground hard from sun up through afternoon tide change for 4 jacks. Always fun to be on the water and the afternoon weather got downright beautiful.
