On October 18th 2008 Bill Shelton and Chris Pollastrini did an underwater salmon survey at Duxbury Reef. The aquatic fish attractor of choice was the FBR™ salmon trolling lure. We were running mini lights with 4 pieces of yarn going back 2 inches pass the tail. This will have them biting the yarn instead of the anchovy so we don't have to change baits to often, and slows the spin and more wobble. We were running very short leaders which spooks them some as compared to none camera 4 foot leader trolling.
We were aboard my aluminum 22 foot Habercraft boat. We were using Bob Franko (Coastside Fishing Clubs) Splashcam and Richard Pacheo Atlantic under water video
camera and Bill Shelton above water cameras. Thanks Bob and Richard. We launched at Sausilito California and went directly to the Duxbury Reef buoy. All the salmon as well as some shots of smelt were taken with 300 yards of the buoy. We trolled at the bottom of the throttle at 25 feet on the Spectra on the downrigger. We used anchovy no hooks or sleaves were used and we had yarn attached to the FBR™ to simulate a hookup as the yarn sticks to their teeth. The salmon attacks came in packs up to five as well as some single attacks. All salmon were of a large size as generally expected this time of year at Duxbury Reef. We ran through 3 or 4 schools of Jellyfish, however they were no problem as the FBR™ spins through them well. Overall we were very excited to see so many salmon in a very confined area we trolled as we limited it to circling the buoy. All the underwater video pictured in this video was shot on Oct. 18th at Duxbury Reef. I hope you enjoy the video as we surely need a reason for hope on ever having a salmon season in the near future. Thank you Chris for coming a long and assisting me with this underwater filming, you were a pleasure to spend time with and surely would be welcome anytime. We ran one rod until noon then I got the second camera going for a short while then off to rock fishing. We SFD™ed 3 canary rockfish then pull up and move out to play with halibut for a while. Chris got a sand dab for supper. No salmon were harmed or hooked while making this film.
Total camera time on camera one trolling was approximately 4 hours and 45 minutes on camera 2. On camera 2 we had problems because it was difficult to see because we were monitoring on a tiny screen. We had a TV on the other camera and recording it in analog and then converted it to digital.
Thanks Bill Shelton

sweet, salmon conservation is often looked over but they are very vulnerable to changes in environment and as this video shows, they would be far too easy to illegally hunt to extinction.
