Fished with a friend this morning out of Hughes Marina. The place has been inundated with cormorants. Hundreds of birds in the trees, which are now completely white from their droppings.
When we returned to the dock about 11:00 we noticed a couple dead cormorants in the area near the boat ramp. I noticed two men in shirts with USDA on them. They were picking up brass from 22 shells. They said that they had killed about 100 birds. I saw them take a few more as I watched.
Hope they keep this up.
Thinking of making a 300 copper dive more like a 450 by using a Torpedo Cuda weight. Who has tried this and how well did it work? Do you know how deep it got? Where did you place the weight? How much additional line did you let out? Thanks.
I was looking for Big Blue service information for the Subtroll 900. There had been info on eBay but its not current. I wanted to get my head unit repaired. Has anyone had any recent work done by them?
I’ve been running Black’s for over 30 years and they have worked well. It takes a little experience to get the tension right for the conditions/target species, but I prefer tighter than looser. I usually use about 5 wraps.
We fished out of Pultneyville from 9:00 to 1:30. Didn’t actually measure temp because I heard the water was all warm. Marked quite a few fish at 150 down over 200-300. Looked like that was the thermocline depth. Only took 2 fish, a 7# coho and a king above the same. Both came on a flasher/fly on a dipsey out 250’.
I have just tried Blood Run tinned copper the last couple of trips on a 300. It seems very easy to use and more kink resistant. …… and it catches fish too.
Thinking about launching my 14 footer into the West River from the launch south of Middlesex on 245. How far can you navigate toward the lake? ,,,, all the way? What kind of fishing is available there in the summer?
