![]() TheSitka area has one of the highest salt water catch rates for kings anywhere on the planet. ![]() My home waters – for both species – are the crème de la crème. ![]() Striped bass and king salmon are the premier inshore sport fish in their region. I arrive back in Massachusetts in September for two months of fishing the fall run of stripers. Then I relocate to Sitka, Alaska to guide for king salmon (Chinook), coho salmon (coho), and halibut all summer. I fish for bass for about from late April to mid-May each year in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. The Fenix may not work- probably should upgrade that one.My fishing year is divided between striped bass and salmon. Used to get a lot of unis on nymphes and shad but after the physics went in the toilet they hardly work at all for some reason.Īlmost everyone uses a Brutus for float fishing. Fine for everything else.īullet and single spoons, medium spoon, 8 and 12ft cranks are mostly what work best there. The Cyclone reel is fast but not ideal for spoons and spinners. The Cosmo will land anything in Alaska and as long as it can cast out about 125ft it will be fine. Both seem to work well with cranks though. ![]() The Hornet Swarm 6000 recovery rate is fast enough to keep those spoons from dragging along the bottom too much but slower reels like the DoublePunch 6500 at 27.5ft make it tough. Used to be you had to have a Rivertex for big chinook, maybe you still do but the Loki landed me a 62lb uni without too much trouble.Īlso important is the reel- reel speed. Loki is what I use now and it's similar to the Thora- anything less than a 25lb setup and you may not be able to land big chinook and coho. ![]() Lures, cranks works for sure, but I use only single spoons and bullet spinners.īaits, I don't know, I hate float fishing :P Ditto! You could have troubles with it only with the biggest chinooks.
