Wayne,

My name is Pat Flanigan and my friend is Earl Rehms The fish that I'm holding is 37 lbs. and the bigger one was 40 lbs. We were fishing in Washington State on the Columbia River in Hanford Reach area. Oct. 2007 I love to test new fishing lures and make some changes to catch fish. Salmon season was great this year.I hope to test them and have more pictures. Keep making the
little sinkers its opening up new ways of fishing.

Hi Wayne,

Just returned from a lake fishing outing at Bullards Bars Res. in California. I have been on and off with the fishing forum from down in Sacramento at my brothers house, he said I bet Bullards does not have snow right now and the trout might be hungry. We used the Chartreuse Berge Scent dispenser full of Pro Cure tri chub scent. We were down rigging at 35 feet when the rod went off.

We ran the dispenser off of the down rigger weight with the release attached to the tail end of the dispenser, worked very well. We boated three nice browns including the largest (Pictures) 11.9 pounds.

Take Care buddy & thanks again

The Berge dispenser works! Just as it is. I put Mike's sardine scent in both chambers this morning and went up to Loeb park with ideas of drifting to Soial Security take-out. There were two slides upriver and the water was getting murkier all the time. I drifted through the Willows side drifting a small spinglo and eggs. Several other boats came into the area and also were side drifting. I motored back up to the top with my Minn Kota motor and anchored near the top. I rigged up the Berge dispenser on the small downrigger and dropped it about one foot under the surface. Then I let out a sardine wrapped K-15 Kwikfish, put it in a pole holder and lifted the anchor. At first, I drifted as usual and went side to side, but then I realized that I was spreading scent everywhere, so I went to the left side about 1/3 out from the bank and started a drift straight down the river. There were three boats drifting close to the right side bank. When I got just across from Willow creek, I had a SLAM and hooked a nice steelhead (see pictures). I motored close to shore and landed it and had another boat take a couple of pictures.

It was a wild fish, so I released it. You should have seen the look on the girls face that took my picture when she saw me put the fish back in the water! I went back up to the top and made several more runs and hooked and landed 2 more nice wild fish doing the same thing. I released them all and had a GREAT TIME!

I had one boat come down the river and asked me what I was fishing for - TUNA? They were referring to the large K15 silver w/chartreuse head Kwickfish. They didn't see the scent dispenser. Before they got to the bottom of the run, I had hooked another fish.
So, the trick is to make a straight run down the river and follow the scent trail.

I am impressed!

  Wayne,

  Fished this afternoon at 325' feet on the wire, notice if you see anything in the picture that looks familiar :-)    This big girl was just over 5 pounds away from the Mackinaw record is 37. 8 lbs.  We released her just after this picture.

Thanks Again,

Dave Pitts

Ringing the dinner bell!!

We'd love to hear about your catch! Send your stories and images

Dear Wayne: (Dad)

We thought we would try out the scent dispenser on the Wilson river. It worked great. We were fishing in a deep hole and caught this beautiful steelhead right away.

Hi Wayne,
I wanted to tell you about the my latest fishing trip. I went Sturgeon fishing with two buddies and tried your scent dispenser for the first time. I used sand shrimp oil in a red dispenser. My buddies thought that I was kidding around when I put it on and gave me a hard time. But they were soon asking me all about it and where to get one, seeing that I was getting three to their one of shakers. I was the only one hooking fish and I was the only one on the boat that landed a 43 inch keeper. We were fishing the 88 hole on the Columbia River.

Thanks for the edge Wayne.

  Wayne,

  I thought that

  I would try out your mini scent dispenser on the Willamette River.  I am glad that, I did it made catching this 25lb salmon a lot of fun not to mention having the only hit and land on the boat that day.

Thanks
