Tip&Trick Description 1:
I primarily use this rig for King Mackeral fishing on the East coast. The rig is very simple. When using a ribbon fish deep try attaching a single bait hook roughly 8-10 inches above the ribbon fish. This technique will provide more action to the dead ribbon fish and will also appear to the King Mackeral that the ribbon is attempting to feed on the live bait. All avid King Mackeral anglers know that a large king is more acceptable during a feed. I hope that this rig will help add an edge to everyone who fishes live bait for King Mackeral. The rig should be tied as described below:
30 - 50lb barrel swivel to haywire twist, 4 inch #6 leader wire, haywire twist to single bait hook (sz. preference), haywire twist 8 inch #6 wire, Hookup jig head 3/16, haywire twist to 3 or 4 hook stinger setup. No picture is provided due to the length of the rig. The small wire and hooks are not noticable when whole rig is in frame.

Noel Gyger http://www.noelgyger.ca Current Fishing Report for Monday September 26, 2011
Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Meziadin North
Go here for LIVE Fishing Report http://www.noelgyger.ca/current-fishing-reports.htm
Skeena River: The whole river and dirty and really not fishable. Kalum River is dumping a whole bunch of mud into the Skeena. Reg: all wild Steelhead everywhere in British Columbia are catch and release. Good chance to catch both Steelhead and Coho (Silver) Salmon on the same day.
Kalum River: Lower end is really high an dirty. Lots of debris suspended in the water so fishing is difficult. Also new trees hanging up in the river everywhere. Theory: Under these conditions the fish cannot tell the difference between debris to your terminal tackle. Upper end is probably dirty also. The lake is dirty. It is going to take quite awhile for this river to clean out.
Lakelse River: The water is dropping and very clean. Coho are coming in now but NOT in huge numbers. This is ''prime-time'' for Coho but the fish just are not there in any good numbers. Pinks are in good numbers and most are spawning everywhere. The Bears and the Birds are having a feast.
Zymoetz (Copper) River: Water is blown out, just too much rain. Lower end is Copper Colour. Facts: Last year we had a record run of Steelhead, lets hope at least we have another good run this year.
Morice River: The Morice is still in excellent shape and it is dropping. Again, some Steelheads are being caught on the Morice. Fishing is not very consistent. Good for a day or two than very poor.... Fishing should improve as water levels drop....
Bulkley River: The Bulkley above the Telkwa is still in good shape. Below the Telkwa visibility is 1-2 feet.... Lots of rain in the mountains..... Beware of a big grizzly bear between Telkwa and Smithers close to the ''dump''.
Kispiox River: The Kispiox is high again.... If the weather gods cooperate it should be fishing great in a day or two again.... Fishing was so good over the last few days.... Big fish.
Babine River: Babine is dropping bit by bit. Cohos and Steelhead are being caught.
Babine Lake: Babine Lake is still producing lots of fish. The limit has been increased to 4 fish on the lake.
