I was hoping you'd give your opinion. So flasher color definitely improves king numbers? Agreed about silvers, they'll hit anything when they're on.
I've always used red or some combination of red for kings out of habit and rarely deviate but this year I might do some non scientific experimentation. Green/chartreuse has always been what I go to for silvers off the ball with a coyote spoon. I don't think you'd notice with sportfish numbers, IMO. With commercial you can put a whole lot more out there and catch a lot more fish and start seeing some definite trends. I know I can't really tell when sportfishing and only catching 6 kings a day. I have been using a green big shooter on one side, and a black hot spot on the other. I've been hard to keep up with this year. Interestingly, the hot flasher in lower SE right now is a black flasher and it has been a real king catcher the last few years. They sold out of them the last few years. FYI, a lot of trollers have gone to big shooters now too, as they are a bit tougher and don't bend as quickly. I bought a couple black flashers from short bus after calvins recomendation, out fished our traditional favorites 3-1 most days, a couple hours this morning I had 9 hookups, pard had 2.... it appears they like black. Thanks Calvin

In my experience, you all have it backwards.
Hanging my banana weight out there as bait attracts the flashers.
Especially in Ketchikan.

That's the same setup my smith runs, runs whole herring instead of cut plug and does well.

Lake Ontario is putting out slobs this season WOW!!! Daniel Clinger from Jersey Shore, PA hoisting the new LOC Derby Grand Prize $25,000 leader that weighed 39 lbs 3 oz and is 47" in length! The fish was weighed in at Davenport & Son Boat Livery. Daniel was fishing aboard the Why Knot and caught the fish on a copper/flasher/A-TOM-MIK meat combination. ![[Linked Image]](https://s26.postimg.org/f653ufjjd/brute.jpg)

Nice fish but it looks like if he'd weighed it sooner it would've gone even higher. 😉
