Re: Skok-chat
yeah I might have ran out of good eggs but they sure do like my yarn haha. I was thinking at my super duper secret hoe that green spinners might work or even purple. 25/15 for me like previously said.

20/20? You'd save lots of 1oz cannon balls and spend more time in the water if you went with a lighter # leader material than your main line.

Re: Skok-chat
what would you guys reccommend for first time heading there, like maineline lb, swivel, weight, leader, hook size, corkie or yarn? whats just a general good setup? and what size pole, just like a normal rod?
Re: Skok-chat
15 or 20 pound main, 15 or 12 pound leader, half oz. to 1 oz. cannon ball, 1/0 or 2/0 hook and dark collor corkie and yarn. your choice on the line..i been doing just fine using 15 lb. main, 12 lb. leader, half oz. weight, and dark color corkie, and 1/0 hook. with a 5 foot leader.

Re: Skok-chat
I dont like to mess around with the fish, theres tons of people at my hole and i dont want to play the fish. I use 3/4 oz cannonballs. I catch my limit almost daily, theres only been 1 day so far that i havent got my limit this year.Duwimaster wrote:FishBaitThe2nd wrote:I run 20/20

Re: Skok-chat
remember also the samish has WAYYY bigger fish, i would NEVER keep anything under 15 at the samish, usually the fish u and me walk out with are 20-30 pounds, much larger piggiesKockmandoo wrote:idk what the skok is like but on the samish I would usually run 20lb but when i got pissed off I would just use 30 or 40lb. the waters so murky it doesn't affect them biting it at all and it really helps when you gotta horse a pig out of some sticks.

Amen! Lol
Re: Skok-chat
The Skok has big fish too, you just have to keep the first two you catch, so you can't pick and choose. I got one the other day must've been 20-25. On 10 pound test. I guess I always fish lighter than everyone else.fishenfreak wrote:remember also the samish has WAYYY bigger fish, i would NEVER keep anything under 15 at the samish, usually the fish u and me walk out with are 20-30 pounds, much larger piggiesKockmandoo wrote:idk what the skok is like but on the samish I would usually run 20lb but when i got pissed off I would just use 30 or 40lb. the waters so murky it doesn't affect them biting it at all and it really helps when you gotta horse a pig out of some sticks.

Re: Skok-chat
is it possible to get ticketed on this river below the 106 bridge? i think i pulled up 5-6 rigs all with barbed hooks, saw like 7 out of 8 people fishing straight up snagging (no even flossing) and people generally fishing like there was no law. i know this place has a reputation for being like this but i wanted to know if there was a reason. cuz if theres no tickets i might as well fish purdy cuttoff mid week.
