Just dropping in to say hi.  Getting back into Salmon fishing after a 20 year hiatus. I’ll be fishing out of a Alumacraft Dominator 185. I have to purchase everything needed to start salmon fishing again.  I’ve Been walleye fishing on inland lakes in recent years and decided it was time to get back on the big pond.  I’ll be asking for help choosing equipment to rig the boat but that’ll be for another day and post.

Do you have planer boards, or do you need them? If you’re looking for church walleye boards, Franks great outdoors is the cheapest I’ve found them. If you’re looking to buy new rod/reel combos, Russell Gahagan at Anglers Avenue is the guy to talk to. Just got 4 new rigger combos from him for $75 a piece shipped. If you need trees, poor man’s rod trees from mads outdoor products are a really good option for cheap. Basically if you’re trying to save some money, get ahold of me lol.

Guys thanks for the welcome. 

I will be trying to do this on a budget. I have Planer boards.  Budwin42 what type of rods and reels did you acquire from anglers ave? Sounds like a great deal. Appreciate the help.

They’re okuma classic Pro GLTs with Okuma Magda dxt 30s. If you don’t feel like going with Russel at anglers ave, fish USA also has pretty competitive prices. Anglers Avenue also has a hot sale tab on their website, and you can find some really good deals on lures once in a while on there as well. Dreamweaver also has an overstock/discontinued tab on their website, I’ve got some good stuff from there for cheap as well.
