[QUOTE="NJL, post: 116053, member: 1435"] well, i've done a fair bit of salmon fishing over my career; however, last year was my first time on Sak. I tried everything i knew from fishing Michigan and was only able to conjure up 1 fish. Off the down riggers, I primarily run Coyote/Hotspot flashers with a Howie Fly (or plastic squid) on a 30-36" 40lb fluoro leader, Jensen Dodger with the same, a variety of salmon trolling spoons (Proking, Dreamweaver, salmon slammer, etc), or J-plugs. Off the Dipsies, i usually run spoons or J-plugs on ~7' 20lb fluoro leader with a rubber snubber. For downrigger balls, i use 10lb fish shaped ones, although i do have the round balls as well. From what i've been told, anything bigger than 10lbs can be hard on your riggers. For fishing on Sak or Oahe i wouldn't go any smaller on the weight as you need it to keep your line as vertical as possible when down 80-100'. Like i said, i'm not sure if my setups are optimal for Sak, but they sure hammered big salmon out on Michigan all the time. [/QUOTE]
