Are you sure you got that price right? Krocs are pricey spoons, certainly not something you get for 25 cents (even at Sail)...

I got some from the Etobicoke store yesterday. The 15% doesn't apply to sale items, but the Krocodiles didn't have sale stickers, so they were 15% off. Couldn't find any of the bigger sizes though, the ones I got were 3/8 oz. Check out the stickied post about pier fishing for noobs, it has everything you need to know. You'll want spoons that are at least 1/2 oz, with 3/4 oz being better.

Id be down to join some one out east (as the run starts there) at dusk chucking spoons and J-13s.

 

 

I never got a chance to do it last year but have the whole set up ready to go. Waiting until august to hit the tribs!

This summer has been much cooler than normal, I think water temps are more favorable this year for an "earlier" entry.

 

However, with the little amount of rainfall this year, Im not sure water levels are high enough just yet for mass migration. Plus, its still about a month early anyways :P

 

Im hoping to get my first brown this season

I have seen salmon or brown trout cruising by this early about 20 - 30 feet from shore. easy to spot them when you're standong on a 15feet cliff...casting a line, not so much i'm still enjoying the bass and this summer seems to be too short. i will start my salmon hunt mid august. but just letting you guys know. salmon are consistently stacking with this cool weather.

Use nightcrawlers in the stream, especially where fast rapids meet pools, even small pools as long as there's an undercut bank!

 

Evening can be deadly for browns. Mid November, you'll catch as many browns as steelhead, even during the day. After a big rain when the water is stained, is the best time.
