Flatlining Kwikfish for king salmon is one of my all-time favorite things to do. When a big chinook eats your plug and starts shaking his head, it’s a feeling like no other. Ready to get in on the fun? I’ll show you how.
First, a quick definition: Flat-lining refers to backtrolling plugs like Kwikfish or FlatFish without any weight — kinda like you would run a Hot Shot for steelhead.
While catching a big, bright king salmon is a thrill, eating one is often even more of a joy — provided you know what you’re doing.?? I’ve heard way too many horror stories of good salmon gone bad during the cooking process, coming out too dry or too mushy or too fishy or too charred. If you-re one of the folks who-ve been down that road before, I-m going to help you out. I’m going to teach you how to make cedar plank salmon, a treat for your taste buds and one of the most sure-fire ways to prepare a bright red fillet of salmon.

When people ask for fish cooking suggestions, I always recommend the grill.??You just can’t beat that smoky taste you get with a barbecue and food cooked on a grill tends to be a lot more healthy for you since much of the fat burns off or drips into the fire (kinda like the George Foreman Grill only better). To make perfecto fish every time, you need to know a little more about grills. So, here’s a quick glance at BBQ 101.
