how do you hook up your rod to this and if a fish bites what happens?
A downrigger is a method of placing an fishing lure down th the desired depth. A downrigger is a cannonball (large weight) held to the surface by stainless steel cable. A clip attaches a fishing line to this wire. Then a downrigger release is hooked to the downrigger wire and then the bait is attached to the release. The release is basically another fishing line that holds the bait and the wire together.

I’ve been waiting to say this for a long time and I don’t think anybody saw it coming.
The Department of Fish and Game recently announced that the ocean salmon fishery will commence full operations for the sport angler on Saturday after being fully closed to both commercial and recreational anglers in ocean waters for the last two years.
For now, the season dates are only from April 3-30. The reason the season was initially set for just the month of April is that the Pacific Fisheries Management Council will make all final determinations regarding salmon fishing towards the end of April.
The DFG cannot just arbitrarily open something like the salmon season. They had to have the okay from the PFMC to begin with. For the month of April only, the DFG rules and regulations fall under the old regulations when the season was last open, three years ago. Any alterations to the season will be made after the PFMC’s final decision.
