    3 rod brown trout set up

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    I’ll be fishing solo this spring while my buddy rehabs his shoulder so I’m limited to a 3 rod setup.  I rarely do well with this when fishing alone and am wondering if my lines are spread too far from each other with a planer on each side and one slider off one side a few feet.  I’m wondering if it’s better to run 3 off one side to mimic a school or tighten my spread a little. Any recommendations?

     

     

    3 rod spread for shoreline browns? Id probably run all flatlines. I ight start the day with a diver and 2 flatlines to see what the fish tell me. However early in the year flatlines are superior.

    Salmon fishing leaders...

    Downrigger spoon rods= 12' of 20# fluoro

    leadcores= 36' of 20# fluoro

    coppers 200' or less= 36' of 20# fluoro

    coppers 250' or more= 36' of 30# fluoro (for flashers) and 36' of 20# fluoro for spoons

    divers= 12' of 20# fluoro= spoons and 12' of 30-40# fluoro for flashers

    Dipsy diver pull

    Anyone have an idea of what the lb pull a dipsy diver puts on a rod?

     

    too many variables that effect the amount of pull including speed, current, size of divers, etc. What are you using for rod holders? Maybe we can answer your the question on if the rod holders are good enough.

    Best port for kings July 4th weekend

    I was hoping to get some intel for fishing Kings July 4th week.  I currently have a place reserved in Olcott, but I was at a fishing show recently and a guy at one of the booths said that week is traditionally not great for kings.  He said that time of year is mainly steelhead out of that port.  

     

    I am driving 9 hours to get to Olcott and want to go to a port with the best opportunity.  i can change my plans and go farther east if that is what is needed.  If the Candian shoreline is better that time of year, I can do that as well.  

     

    I'm hoping maybe I was given some bad info; I don't know.  

     

    thank you

     

     

    Olcott, Oak Orchard, Bald Eagle, Sandy Creek are all amazing choices. Niagara, Orleans, and western Monroe County are the place to be in July.

    2nd week of April?

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    So does it mean: fishing deeper?

     

    Could be. What it means is we should have a larger amount of good water vs the typical year where its extremely tight to shore. You should be able to fish a bit deeper and find plenty of hungry fish. Im expecting to see lots of Kings around out of my home port in that time frame.

    With that kind of weather this year what do think our chances of getting some browns on the 2nd week of April?

    I’m going with some friends but I think we are going to encounter some difficulties.

    You’re opinion?

     

    Plenty of browns around then... however with the weather trend things will probably be more like early May fishing

    More info please. When and where was it held and any info for 2025 would be appreciated.

     

    This was held in Pulaski, NY. No info yet on a 2025 event however details will probably be announced in fall of this year. Keep an eye out for the 2025 Great Lakes Trolling School. Follow me on Facebook for the announcement.

    Rods per person on the boat?

    Was at the Niagra Fishing Show this weekend and someone inferred the number of rods per person on the boat was changed from 3 to 4. Anyone hear anything of this? Always thought it was 3 rods per person on a boat.

     

    yes 3

    Leadcore Recommendations

    In need of some.leadcore line replacement so asking for thoughts on different brands, sizes.  Been using Suffix 27lb since starting with cores and no real complaints.  Does their 832 Advanced have advantages?  Are other brands all about the same or do certain ones really provide more stealth and if so, does it really matter if running a 40-50 foot leader.  Appreciate any dialogue offered.

     

    Im Blood Run all the way. Great product. Great service. Literally one stop shopping for all your trolling needs. Whether its lead, wire, copper, fluoro, mono, steel

    https://bloodrunfishing.com/

     

    Leadcore is a stealthy presentation to begin with. I run a 36' leader with my leadcore. I replace it once it gets down to about 20'ish

    Might be my 1st time trolling browns, hoping for a couple tips

    I have questions.

    What water temp should I be looking for ?

    Maybe out the Gennessee ? What direction ?

    Head out Gennessee or I Bay ? 

    I understand stick baits and spoons. What about worm harnesses ?

    I have a 14' aluminum with 8hp motor. If waves are 1' or less next week im going to try. I really can't get on Lake O much because I have a small boat. But if the stars align, and I can get some help/info with direction, it'd be extremely appreciated for the almost never opportunity I might get. Thank you

     

     

    Stick baits because they are speed tolerant

    75-100 ft leads

    Iron bay and east

    6-12 fow

    parallel trolls to the shoreline
