I’ll be showing some interesting footage of all the bites you miss but never know you had, an underwater view of the controversial Alabama Rig in action, what some of our favorite salmon lure look like underwater, what it looks like 100 feet down on the bottom of Lake Tahoe…and more. Here’s a sneak peek:

Think maybe I'll call in sick tomorrow!
If you weren’t already wasting enough time at work on the internet, here’s a great way cracker off a few more hours! The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates a live fish cam in the fish ladder at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. The camera refreshes every few seconds and you can watch salmon, steelies and shad passing over the dam. Be careful…it gets addictive!
If nothing happens to be going by when you’re watching, check out this video from the fall Chinook run.

Check out this underwater video shot by the gang at Profish-N-Sea Charters in Seward, Alaska to see why you don’t want to come back as a baitfish in your next life!

There’s a reason you could probably find at least one Rapala in just about every angler’s tackle box….

Trolling whole anchovies is a deadly way to catch salmon in the ocean…but it’s also gaining popularity in many lakes that harbor landlocked kings and coho. Much is made about getting the “perfect” roll out of your bait. Conventional wisdom suggests you need a tighter, faster roll to attract coho and a wide, slow roll to catch kings. The bottom line is, however, a rolling bait looks interesting to salmon because it appears to be in distress. Anchovies don’t roll on in the wild, so salmon don’t have a particular action they’re looking for in a bait. Get yours rolling seductively and you’ll get bit!
