Niagara County May 20 and 21

Did a little evening into night troll. Haven’t been walleye fishing at night for over a decade. More exploration of some points paid dividends again. Got some bigs. Lost two bigs due to netting FuBAR. Some giant sheep made it interesting. Yellow and white perch, and some smallmouth. Livingston Lures were proving again that they are worth the $14 they cost.

how would you rig it?
LongLine replied to fishing fireman's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
2 riggers - 1 in each corner as Shakemsam said -
There are 2 main general currents in the lake. (double gyre) The 1st starts at Niagara and follows the south shore all the way up to Henderson. Some of it flows out the St Lawrence while the rest curves back and heads south hitting the south shore somewhere between Oswego/Sodus. It then circles back up the coast. The 2nd starts at Niagara and flows along the north shore and goes up past Kingston where it meets the south shore current. It is then deflected back west farther from shore and hooks southward at the Scotch Bonnet ridge towards Sandy/Braddocks and meets up with the south shore current. A strong easterly blow will slow the shore currents slightly and may shift the areas of south shore contact somewhat, however the lake recovers a couple days after the east wind dies out. If I remember my hydrology correctly, pure wind action on water affects the water 5 to 6 times the wave height. Currents on the lake are a "bear" to figure out on any given day which is why a down speed probe is a necessity.

Concentrate on the riggers first, then move on to the other "stuff." (Dipseys, cores, etc) - 1 lure in temp, 1 lure above and 1 below. - spooks (Black/silver with a splash of red) - Troll North & South watching temps. Fish stable water. Temp probe on the deeper rigger. - Occasionally take down speed up to 3 or a little higher then slow back down. Occasionally put it in neutral & let spoons flutter downward. - Run a MUP rig. Two identical lures on a rigger about 10-12 ft apart vertically. Run lower one about 15 ft behind the upper. Can also try flasher/fly high with spoon low (same colors) but don't put it in neutral. - If you spot a scum line, troll to outside of it. If you spot bait fish pod, troll to outside of it. (Go at least 30FOW deeper then back in) If you see birds, troll to the outside of them. - Keep your eyes on the water. If you see minnows or fish swirling, then get a plug on the surface. (maybe only 4-5 ft down) Good luck out there.
