I don't have any roe bags and ran out of eggs,are of these a good alternative power bait ,plastic minnows,pautzkes tied in bags or jsut on the hook,shrimp?

[brownhunter]

They certainly can work. I usually use spoons and crank baits and even minnows while they are staging. I can honestly say that still baits have been less effective for me. When salmon fishing I try to invoke their aggression.

Usually I do to,most of the time I use j13 but I'm fishing in the credit and I'm not sure if it's big and deep enough for that,if it is I'd rather use a lure but I'm assuming drifting with be the best

[brownhunter]

The credit at the mouth its plenty deep for hardware but if you are up river floating is the way to go

My all time favorite fly is a black stone fly that thing is willingly gobbled up by a number of species

I'm fishing out of erindale park so I'll proabbly just float,a plastic minnow or red power bait should work right? I don't have flies

[brownhunter]

Should do just fine

Doesn't make any difference since 90% of the fish hooked there are lined to begin with.

 

Actually, make that 100%.

Busy out there today

[fishfreek]

They are in there.

Just got back from fishing no fish were but got 2 bites and tons of people,first thing that surprised was how many guys were fishing .i brang the wrong bag so I was stuck using a white jigtail.first bite I it snagged on a rock and I guess a fish ran into my line and cut my line,second bite took the whole jigtail off,ironically after I got these two bites some guy came and told me to move over.I seen a guy catch some on streamers,gonna go next weekend and hopefully hookup

[fishfreek]

Some guys can be a bit aggressive, it happens a lot when the Salmon are running.

[Symmetre]

Sorry bout your numbers.
With practice and patience you too can catch a fish legally.
Lot more fun bringing in by the mouth than by the tail or dorsal.
Keep at er.
We support ya

 

Believe what you like if that makes you feel good. But the truth is that the vast majority of those fish are ripped, intentionally or otherwise. Hooked somewhere around the mouth is not the same as being legitimately caught. If you open your eyes, you will note at least 95% of the fish landed at Erindale are hooked somewhere on the front half of the body, on the head, on the gill covers, on the outside of the jaw, on the snout or in the eye. In other words, snagged.

 

Can you honestly say that all the fish landed there are hooked inside the mouth? No, you can't because that would be complete and utter bull. In fact, you can't even say that 1 in 10 are hooked that way. Some may be. But the majority are not.

 

One day when you gain enough maturity and experience, you will accept reality.

Depending on the spot, when My buddies and I get "Dialed" in, right shot pattern, length, light line and bait, We can put out decent numbers on most days.

 

Lots of this is leg work - avoiding the crowds and finding "new" fish that havent been exposed to or as exposed to the constant fishing pressure.

 

I've had days on the river where my buddy and I catch 10 fish, all legal (hook and bait were inside the mouth!) and 6 other people in the pool caught nothing. All because of how your presenting your bait, and where. (Whether your fishing the tail out or the head of the pool, timing wise if fish are pushing in still or just staying put, etc.)

 

All comes down to skill, practice patience and timing.

I seen quite a few people that look very suspicious jsut by looking at their rigs(one guy had a spoon on and was fishing in two feet of water) but the guy I did see catch fish was defiantly doing it legitimately he would float a streamer through a pool multiple times and I guess out of aggression they would bite

that is 100% false, i have had multiple fish give chase, and a few attack my fly.  the fish i posted earlier, current was running right to left, the fish is clearly hooked inside the left jaw, kind of impossible to line/floss a fish that way, for one, the fly would be on the outside of the face on the left, or inside the right jaw

 

leave the salmon to the guys that actually know how to fish them

not to say this is what you're doing,  but i've seen people that are very skilled at making flossing look legal by doing just that, and they basically 'feed' the fish, ie, right depth and shot swing, to put the bait right into the opening and closing mouth of resting fish.
