  1. Just got my flasher box and this thing is handy. So simple and so convenient thanks to Glen and David for sharing the info. Wish the agitator brands would fit in there with that different bend of the flasher. But you can just store them on the sides. Fish on fellas

  2. Hello sir! What rods are you using this year to pull your herring? I remember at one point you mentioned that you were happy with the Shimano Clarus. Is that still the case? Thanks for the info and have a great season!

  3. David, your killing me…. You just gave away ALL of my SECRETS, now I have NO advantage over the other SPRINGER crowd… I see there is (1) DISLIKE. I'm not sure but, could it be DIRK??? This is the second time in a row that you have left him out. I could be WRONG, but I understand that Dirk wants to invite you over for dinner, Yep LIVER – N – ONIONS. sounds delicious. Hahahaha.. Tight lines my friend. 😉

  4. Yah Buddy! It's gonna be here before we know it. Glad to see you back. Hope the holidays were good for you and the family. Can't wait for the new "tech tips" videos.

  5. I had a guide tell me to wash everything. Lures, leaders etc. he even said to wash your line on the reel. Little Lemon Joy and run water on it to remove any bad smells. Didn't think of the lead weights. That makes sense because they start to smell and have a coating on them as a while sitting in the boat. I have them in separate open containers.

  6. As someone who drives a couple hours to hit the channel for springers, and having only one fish under my belt so far (seen two others caught on my boat on different days), more tips and tricks are a welcome sight! My first and only springer was the only fish caught that day (7 hours on the river out of Sauvie) and I had just convinced my dad to let me put a triangle flasher on one of our three rods. I'd love to hear more about how you choose colors and styles of flashers. My dad and I have gone from two chartreuse triangles to three colors of triangles and 5 colors of pro trolls after just this past fall season (particularly a 4 fish weekend with pro trolls.) I want to understand more!

    Thanks for the videos!

  7. Hey wondering where you went. Great tips. I think keeping your gear clean is great advice and one of the things I am terrible at. I have noticed that new gear tends to get hit a little better than dirty gear but seems like whatever plug gets hit will keep getting hit the rest of the day. Going to do a better job of keeping my gear clean this year.

    I have not been out fishing since early December and am getting the bug. We don't have springers, or can't fish for them at least. Might either throw the downriggers on for some trout or head down towards the bay and chase sturgeon. We get a good shad run April-May. One of my favorite things to fish for. Just lots of fun. I know you have a good run on the Columbia too.
