Speed duplication is huge and can vary tremendously depending on trolling direction (east and west) following the shoreline. 1/8 to 1/4 mph can make all the diffence. Water color and temp are also things to pay attention to. Watwer may be to clean or too dirty. Or you may find a warm pocket of water which may be a degree diferent or 4 degrees different then everything else. As you catch fish make a mental note on the bait, depth of water, speed, and location in the spread the fish came from and slowly build your spread on what the fish are telling you.
Easter Sunday @ Sandy Exceptional fishing continues... crazy numbers. Doubles along with an occasional triple. Mixed bag. Browns, Cohos, Steel, and Lakers all hit the deck this afternoon. DW ss spoons and stickbaits in goby patterns all taking fish.
Sandy Creek 4.19 Crazy bite this morning. Crazy numbers. Lots of Browns and a bunch of Cohos kept us busy this morning. Lots of 42-44.6 degree inside of 15 fow. DW ss spoons took our bigger fish today. The riggers took a few shots but most of the big ones off the slide divers. Goby patterned sticks off the big boards were hard to resist for the cookie cutters.
Clarions still exist but they now only have 2 models 453 and 553. http://www.okumafishing.com/product/view/reels/star-drag-reels/clarion
Both models are non line counter reel and make for great copper reels.
The Coldwater series took over where Clarion left off and have replaced Clarion linecounter reels.
