LOL, one guy has 17 and the other guy has over fifty.... what a pile of BS. You guys kill me.

Yup, but still mighty few and far btw.

Lost a really nice one last Fri, after ten hours casting; saw a 10 lb landed this morning.

Er... so the tip is to whip your rod back and forth?

Not terribly original.

Pwn snags with braid, simply wrap it around your arm and pull until the hook bends out, presto.

Teaching a little kid about salmon fishing, I dunno man. Perch, yeah, but salmon... it's a whole pile of casting, and if they actually hook one, yowsah. Work the piers around dawn with glow spoons. Anywhere on Lake Ontario about now you'll have a shot. But it's not a big numbers thing, I've been out about ten times and have one so far, that's a pile of driving, and thousands of casts...

There's a good youtube video of whasisname 'pinning for chinnies in the whirlpool, #2 gamakatsu hook and a big chunk of skein, half oz of weight under a slip bobber.

It's not exactly rocket science. Right now, you're fishing off piers, mostly.
