Re: Advice Pls - Ocean fishing from shore...

From: "Eric" <1@xxxxx>

| I'm heading up to Powell River British Columbia next week and plan to
| do some fishing from the shore. I'll be after salmon but anything
| would be great.
|
| I have a 10'6" Omni Mooching Rod I plan to use - Is there any problem
| with this?
|
| I don't have a reel for it so if you could recommend a make and model
| that is right casting, that would be great. I'm looking for
| durability, low maintenance and best-bang-for-the-buck quality. I
| expect to load it with 30 lbs test, ok?
|
| Any lure suggestions? I'll be using spoons and buzz bombs and I've
| read that plugs can be used.
|
| I've not done this before so any and all advice is appreciated.
|
| thanks a lot
| Eric

I use a 12' carbon fiber rod. This way I don't get tired as quickly. It is a Diawa
Eliminator.
!0.5' is a good size to start but realize that a 10'+ rod that is tubular fiberglass can be
heavily and can wear you down. The Diawa Eliminator I use is a ultra-light surf rod.

I use a Daiwa Regal-X 6000-T salt water class spinning reel and can be used by Lefties or
Righties. I have a few and I think they are are well priced and last. I use 17lb. Stren
line on the reel but I use 40lb. camouflaged leader material and varies in colour from red
to clear to green along it length. I cut it to desired about 36 ~ 40 inches in length. I
tie a loop knot on both ends of the leader with one smaller than the other. The smaller
loop goes through and around a barrel swivel. The larger loop goes through and around a
snap. The snap connects to the eye of the of the spoon or plug. I tie a palomar knot on
the other end of the barrel with the fishing line.

Krocodile and Gator spoons (my favorites) and Hopkins hammerd and Kastmaster lures are good.
Another is the Crippled Herring. Another good lure to use are Popper Plugs. The process of
casting and retrieving a the spoon (I use 2 ~ 2.25 oz. spoons) is calling "squidding."
