Good luck and tight lines

8/19/2010 9:23:00 AMThanks for report, we may hit American again this weekend, were you using real maggots?If so where did you buy them? Other than the GULP version(which hasn't done anything for me yet) I haven't found any in the south sound.1 inch pieces of nightcrawler on green wedding ring worked well there last week, fish were all hooked well, none lost. Good luck to all, try letting picture show itself on your report before clicking on submit. Bob R.

8/19/2010 6:06:00 PMHey Bob R...
For the first time in my life, I purchased a synthetic or "manufactured" bait in Berkeley's (sp?) Gulp Natural Colored Maggots. This comes after a lifetime of picking crawlers after a rain, dropping minnow traps, throwing cast nets, jigging pilchards, catching pinfish, and more recently, pumping sandshrimp. A nice person at the boat ramp suggested them, and I have found that two on a wedding ring's hook trolled at a snail's pace is lethal. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and today had the Kokanee portion of the paddle wrapped up by 7:00 a.m.ish, and I feel like a little school kid with as fun as it is.
I smurk a bit each time I bait up, and then I chuckle, and then I accept it and thank the guy who shared their "gulp" name!
Peace...
