Sinker Releases


Salmon are biting well, if you're brave or stupid enough to get out there. I got out to fish Wednesday and Thursday, with the pictures shown below respectively. Wednesday couldn't have gone better, when we caught ten big salmon with Gerard Fitzgerald. On the Fourth, the weather was getting more iffy. I was fine, but there was a cookie tossing contest on board. A couple hours rewarded us with three salmon, the largest being thirty-one pounds. Rumor has it that a few halibut have been picked up in the bay, but I won't say where until I see one of these fabled fish myself. Weather is going to be nasty until Sunday.
You need sinkers to get your lure to where you need it, but until they outlaw lead weights and we're forced to come up with something craftier, how do we avoid dragging two pounds of lead along with a very distraught fish? Sinker releases. Both kinds I've used worked basically the same way. Fish bites, line is tugged and sinker falls to the watery depths. Both kinds are available in the boathouse.
