Danny fishing plugs

Very cool Gary. Fishing with you and Danny at Escott was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Wish I was there again. I’ll have to try some plugs out in my boat next time I’m out.

Can't believe he is still going . Gary Cooper Fishing Diary is crazy good. I have been watch Gary since the 90's .

Love the grizzled look. Suits you perfectly

Fantastic Video Gary, plugs are my favorite way to salmon fish! Subscribed!

Great video. I liked the plug fishing. No comment on the secret colours, though...haha. Top secret!

i like when they set the hook

Thanks Theo. Time flys

Good info. Thank you

I made a bunch of j plug style lures, eager to try they out

Banana weights only when using cut plug herring. Downriggers on wood and plastic plugs. Speed depends on current. 2.5 to 3.5 good trolling speed. You want the plug to swim and have horizontal movement. Keep plug at least 39 feet from downrigger pin.

Canada 🇨🇦 those reels are goofy 🤪

nice wet release guys. well done.

I love the show and happy to find you here.

Holy moly! Doubles! Do any Rapalas work for trolling salmon?

Those reels look uncomfortable to use. That is the handle looks too small to easily grip. Do people use level wind reels (like a Daiwa Saltist) out there too? Thanks

have you used banana weights in lieu of down riggers? how about trolling speed, continuous or can you you use the technique of in gear and then neutral?

Where can u buy the plug ?

Id much rather fish with a good bait casting setup than those wanabee fly rods with one ratio shitty reels.

i like how you guys are NOT pin pullers. i'm tired of everyone saying you have to pull the pin, it's far superior. i don't believe it. my only preference, and i wish it would take hold either with the industry in general, or even in the regs eventually, is a max hook size of 5. the Pacific Salmon Lab research during their catch and release studies show that above size 5 results in more serious and frequent eye injuries in chinook, so i've gone to size 5 max on all my plugs. beginning at 27:30 on this video you can see the discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nThmHxQkaE&t=494s
