Garry Point Park August 17th - It works!
« on: August 17, 2006, 06:39:41 PM »
With only an hour to spare, we decided to head down to Garry Point Park and spincast for northern pikeminnow. I also wanted to try out some new spinners that I have made up last week. Usually the pink coloured lures work quite well this time of the year in the Tidal Fraser River, so both Nina and I decided to test out the pink blade ones. ;)

By the end of the outing, I had nothing to show. ::) Nina managed to tag a medium-sized northern pikeminnow that took quite a bit of line out on the Shimano Stradic 1000 initially. ;)



So the pink blade ones work. ;) I look forward to try them out for coho salmon when they start passing by here in October. ;)

Water clarity is surprisingly good compared to last week. With the sunshine, visibility was easily over 3 feet today, more than enough for anyone who wishes to spincast for salmon. :)

If you put the tape on the back of the blade you'll do much better.
Also Please crimp the barbs on your hooks-children surf this site and we don't want to give them the wrong impression.

Plus if someone buys them from out of the immediate area, barbs might be legal to use on the hooks.   Gotta keep all the options open.
