when barfishing for cutties/dollies what type of rod would you use? i know that the fish arent as big as the monster springs you can get, so would the same bulky rod be necessary?

 

[coho_killer]

When i bar fish the (LOWER FRASER) I just use my 10.6 drift rod and baitcasting reel abu 6500c3 Like the ones you would use on the vedder and other rivers. And i make my own bar rigs with a size 1/0 hook, reason for this is when i make my own rigs i only make them with 1 hook not 2 like the ones you buy in stors,saves your bait using only 1 hook, and for weight your best bet would be a 2 oz. Load the hook with a nice fresh piece or roe and toss it to where you think the fish are gonna be! The fraser is a funny river so when i go i use just standard gear because you just never know what is on the end of the line at any time of the year! Just remember the fraser is the greatest fish highway in the world! Lotsa big fish to be caught. :thumbup:

C.K.
P.S.Dont forget a good rod holder and a fold out chair,

CK pretty much nailed it. I even use a bit lighter gear at times as well. 10 lb test mainline with 8 lb leaders. I also just use a three way swivel with about a 12" peice of line tied to the bottom where I attached a Snap swivel, the weight on there is 2-3 ounces depending on how fast the tide is running. For a leader, it is usually around the 16-18" mark and a 1/0 hook, tied to the middle of the three way swivel and just connect that whole thing to the main line using the top eye of the three way swivel. I use a small Abu Eon for a reel and a 10 foot technium. For a rod holder, I got a good deal on a stainless steel hinged upright holder for quick rod access on those big hits. Good roe helps out a lot as well.... None of the freezer burned store bought crap. :wallbash: All that stuff seems to catch are the fish you don't want to catch.

Anyhow, hope that helps a bit. Cheers and good luck if you give it a go. :cheers:

Hit the Fraser today tried one spot but not much doing so hit another little spot and wow like night and day
Fisrt cast fish on
nice 12inch Dolly
second cast 16inch Dolly
third cast missed one
and so it went on till i used all my roe
I think i had about 12 Dollies to the shore
and not another fisherman in sight

 

[reelangler]

good for you :thumbup: what was the biggest?

 

[Britguy]

about 2.5lb ish
hard to tell as i don't like to take time to measure accurately or weigh them (eye ball only)
and like allways i hooked what felt like a real good one but it got off before i could get a look
did all releases while keeping the fish in the water
i am heading out again in the morning
will post when i get back 8)

 

[Britguy]
