Pre-spawning males develop a large hump on their backs, and the meat becomes soft and unpalatable. Pinks will strike a variety of lures and are perhaps the easiest of all salmon to catch. Salmon fishing in Alaska is all about timing; kings can be caught during the winter months in some areas; mostly these are so-called "feeder kings", immature fish that inhabit certain areas of abundant forage. Different species spawn at different times, and you can catch them as they stage near the mouths of spawning streams.
Of course they can also be caught as they travel in schools, feeding on herring, capelin, and other baitfish. There are several techniques for salmon fishing from a boat; be geared up and prepared to change tactics as needed, depending on the area and what the fish are doing. Before we get into specific methods, you should have some basics covered regarding the boat itself. First, although it's possible to catch salmon from just about any boat at some point, your success rate will climb exponentially if you use a good fish-finder.
There are lots of brands on the market, and, as with many other types of outdoor gear, cost is often an indicator of quality.
Many anglers prefer color view screens and even split screens that tell you where you are GPS function and what's going on beneath you fish finder. Whatever you get, learn to use the equipment and you will certainly catch more fish. If you want specific brand recommendations, check in to our Saltwater Fishing Forum ; we have a lot of charter boat captains in there, and many other very experienced saltwater boaters that can point you in the right direction. Next, be sure your motor idles down low enough to allow trolling.
Optimal speeds vary, but you need to be able to run down to 1mph at times more on this in our trolling section. If your main motor cannot idle that low, you may need a kicker, or you could run a sea anchor off one or both sides of the boat.
Sea anchors can be as simple as a five-gallon plastic pail dragged along, or a fabric sea anchor that's made for the purpose. Tie these off on a cleat forward of the fishing area, so they're not in your way.
For boats running twin outboards, you could also run your trim tabs in the full down position and only run one motor; the drag of the other motor in the water, combined with the drag on your tabs could do the trick. Experiment until you find what works for your boat and motor combination. Precise depth control is essential when you're trolling. You can accomplish that by using diving planers such as the Pink Lady or the Deep Six.
Simply count out the number of "pulls" of line grab the line at the reel and strip off an arm's length at a time for one "pull". This crude method works in a pinch, but precise control is possible only with a down rigger.
