I have always wanted to catch a salmon or a laker on my own. I have only caught a few on two separate occasions when I was fortunate enough to go with someone who had the gear (downriggers etc). Just moving out here from CO, I can't wait to catch one. I've tried twice, but struck out both times -- live smelt from 4:45-8am. Not sure what I'm doing wrong! I can catch bass (big bass) all day long during the summer, but just learning the ropes about salmon. If the dock wasn't destroyed I would put in a row-boat and go a little deeper and work the ice pack. Wish me luck -- congrats on your success!
