4/20/2009 8:58:00 AMWe have gotten most of our Chinook off the snap weights rather than the riggers. We are fishing about 1.4 or 1.5 mph pulling wide-bodied spoons or whole herring off of a 24 ounce snap weight. The formula that produced 2 quick fish Saturday morning was 250 feet of line to the ball and another 100 feet to the lure. That should have put me down about 140 to 150 feet over a 215' to 225' bottom. After boating those 2 quick fish, I got one laker with about 2.5 hours of effort with the same combination.
Tight Lines,
Anton
