Good Sunday morning fishing for pink. Launched the boat at 5:30 and had the first fish on 5 minutes later at 35ft below. Trolled south toward shipwreck at about 2mph at various depth up to 75ft. Landed 3 more fish with each subsequent one bigger than the one before. Lots of seaweed at the shipwreck area, constantly pulling up the ball and tackle to clear them out every 15 minutes. Got my limit by 8:30am. Used a 8in white/iridescent/UV dodger and mini pink hootchie single hook scented. No dogfish problems. Good luck out there!

I thought you were going to use your fly rod?

I know! Doh! I forgot to put it in the boat in the rush to get there early morning!

Basic fishing question - how do you get the pinks to trip the line off the downrigger clip?

When I've been hooking them, they don't trip off the clip, so it is hard to tell if a pink is on the line or not.

Thanks!
Jason.
