DYI Ketchikan AK help!

[2knots]

Silver salmon during August, Kings are earlier and there might be some chums and then also the pinks. Your quite aways from the open ocean with all the islands to the west so should be ok in a small boat, just watch the weather/wind. Troll with cut plug herring and a banana weight 2-4oz and also power mooch. To power mooch after the line is about 100’ back put the boat in neutral and let the cut plug bait fall, when it gets down (greater then a 45* angel put it back in gear and troll until it’s up and then repeat. Other option is to get some 3” white and glow in the dark tubes/gitzits and some 1-4oz lead heads ( will need a variety depending on current) fillet a side of the herring and put on the hook as a trailer and then power mooch as above (the tubes are very very effective but this gear is not readily available in town). Focus on the tide changes if you can, hour before and 2 hrs after the changes
Good luck looking forward to the pictures
