Tried it 2 years ago on Conesus and hooked up with one pike. It was a nice one and it ended up winning the battle. Jigging Rapalas are good. They will also hit tube jigs or flukes. I want to try some of the Salmo lures that In-fisherman talks about.
Hans,
I have the same problem time to time. I can't figure it out. I think it is because my computer is an old P.O.S. If you figure it out let me know what you found.
I have used smelly jelly a lot. I have noticed that it seems to work better on lakers and browns. I don't really think it makes that much difference for kings and steelies.
The alewives will make out better as long as the weather is stable during their spawning. I think the kings will be even bigger than they were last year.

The main difference between a flasher and a dodger is the action. The dodger has a side to side wobble and the flasher has a spinning action. Pro troll e-chips and spin doctors seem to be the best flashers out there.
