HI HEADIN OUT TO AMBLE SIDE TOMMOROW. ANY TIPS FROM YOU GUYS.
-
Use 2 1/2 " buzz bombs first thing in the morning.
-
Or you could try some spoons or calorado spinners they work for me.
-
thanks guys ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm what about shrimp how would that work for cod
-
Can't go wrong with sea-worms or with squid. Shrimp does work but I find it gets picked off pretty quickly.
-
Just so you know..its all one word:
Ambleside
;D
-
How's the crabbing from that pier? Took my 3 year old daughter for a picnic at the beach and saw some guys working crab traps from the pier. All they caught was huge starfish. Anybody get any crabs from there? Jighead, Fisher or Adanac should know ;D. You guys seem to be fishing there a lot. Thanks guys 8).
-
They catch the occasional legal size ones
-
Thanks for the info FA :).
-
very disapointed that none of you guys mention about me:( ambleside is my 2nd home ;D.... JH... the ambleside master!!! lol... jk ;D
-
Hey JigHead....I did mention your name ;D ;D. Come on now....give me your input. Is it worth fishing for crabs off the pier or you just end up catching starfish in your trap?
-
hmm let me put it this way. Anyone that Knows something about crabbing wont crab at ambleside ;D well like he said thoe... Ocasionaly theres some ok size one.
and if your going after greenlings/rockcod... look for the corner that has "Reserve for steve rockcod and luis" <- the luis got erased but ya... that corner is the best spot for the big ones :D ... perpare to lose tackle there though. theres a bunch of rocks and stuff there.

I haven't fished Ambleside since the 1991, lost my first lure, a spinner, which got stuck on the pier. Fish Assassin, Buzz Bombs on Ambleside? Any success? I've had a lot of success with Zzingers for Cohos and Springs while boat fishing in the Horseshoe bay area. I think Buzz Bombs are easier to control, attracts fish, but fish are less reluntact to strike a Buzz Bomb compared to a Zzinger. I attracted a huge sculpin (over 5 lbs) with a Buzz Bomb. Though, yes, Buzz Bombs are classics, and catch many species of fish.... Zzingers are better.

I've had good success on buzz bombs off Ambleside for cohos.
-
fishing from piers have changed drimatically.... seeing how nothing is what it used to be ... lures dont work to well IMO at piers anymore. well compare to live bait anyways.
im sure buzz bomb and spinners will work if salmons are around. but the only problem is... you cant really cast far enough with those. but .. when smelting season was still open. some dude caught a 5lb coho with his smelt net. i heard about this but never saw the fish. myth? you never know. anything can happen at ambleside. my friend marcus caught an octopus just a month ago ;D
-
Not wanting to start a new thread in fly fishing forum..
how do you fish Ambleside with flies?
-
Wade out and start casting......
-
Is flyfishing from Ambelside beach productive,I've heard that Coho and Cutts are caught there or is that B.S.??
-
I have seen flyfishermen catching more cohos off the mouth rather than at Ambleside. Perhaps it's due to the fact that there is less of a tidal rip at the mouth. As to cutthroats I personally have seen only one caught.
-
Hmmmmm... I might try fishing Ambleside for salmon. I have one green Buzz Bomb left in my tacklebox. I'm going to give it a try sometime when the salmon are around. I can actually cast a very good distance with my Ambassadeur 5500 C3 and Abu Garcia Conolon rod with any decently weighted lure.
