Commentary by Ron Wakita of Reliable Guide and Charters Nov 5, 2010 Wes Owen and his comfortable 11ft beam Bayliner "Lil Kris" invited Noel Gyger and I for a morning trip in the Kitimat Harbor to fish for Winter Chinook and do some crabbing. The forecast was calling for "Cloudy with Showers". We were pleasantly surprised with calm seas, sunshine, good fishing and even better Crabbing. With honorable mention to Gail's (Noel's wife) Cookies. We hooked 6 Winter Chinook boating 3 beauties. The largest Chinook was 25lbs or better. The Stars of our fishing trip was the "E Clip" which is marketed by Pro Troll, Pro Troll's Hot Chip 11" Green Flasher and Hot Spot's Blue Green Flasher. 4 of the 6 Chinook were caught with these lures. Pro Troll products are not new on the market but this was the first fishing trip that I have fished with them. I spend some time with Russell Gahagan, Pro Troll's Regional Sales Manager at the Redl Show http://www.redlsports.com who impressed me enough to fish these Pro Troll's products. I am sure glad we did because they sure worked great this morning and the proof is in the pictures! The other 2 Chinook were hooked with Wes's favorite Winter Chinook set-up which includes a Luhr Jensen Abe and Al #1 Prism Flasher with a Rhys Davis Blue/Green Anchovy Teaser and a Rhys Davis Anchovy. Noel, Wes and I had a great time catching Chinook as well as harassing each other and eating Gail's cookies while watching the rods.
The "piece de resistance" of our trip was the Crabbing. The Star of the Crabbing portion of our trip was as always "Brutus" Ace Line Hauler Crab and Prawn Puller http://www.acelinehauler.com Vartan you are a genius! We were also using Crab traps distributed by Redl Sports http://www.redlsports.com with an upgraded hinge design on the doors which are excellent. We were using Lead rope from Danielson which reduces the potential for getting the Crab Trap ropes into the prop. The Crab Traps used ere Traps distributed by Redl Sports http://www.redlsports.com The Bait Cages were Danielson Bait Cages. The Crab Gauge is made by Gibbs/Delta http://www.gibbsfishing.com Wes fishes with the best equipment including Shimano http://fish.shimano.com 8' Talora rods and Charter Special 2000LD reels combined with Scotty http://www.scotty.com Orca Rod Holders. Scotty http://www.scotty.com Electric Downrigger. Scotty http://www.scotty.com Power Grip Plus Release Clips. Reels filled with Berkley http://www.purefishing.com Big Game 30lb test. The leaders were Berkley http://www.purefishing.com Big Game http://www.purefishing.com 40lb test. He also used a Berkley http://www.purefishing.com Battery powered hook hone. The High Line was trolled with a Gibbs http://www.gibbsfishing.com 12oz Slip Weight. All the Chinook were netted with Redl Sports http://www.redlsports.com Sea King SK5000 net. He takes all his photos with Cannon hi end digital cameras. The "Right Tools for the Job" sure makes Fishing and Crabbing a lot more enjoyable. We kept our limit of 18 Dungeness Crab (6 each) and put another 12 keepers back. Wow! Good Weather, Good Fishing and Good Crabbing with Good Friends. Life is Good!
