  1. When fishing glow spoons in the summer right at first light, do you guys run the full body glow spoons or will a spoon with one strip of glow tape work just as well??? I have been reading that some of these "super glow" glow spoons are actually too bright and scare off the kings??? I have always run the full glow body's but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't be.
  2. When fishing for kings late in the summer, and at first light. Is it better to run full glow spoons or just the spoons with the glow tape?? I have read that to much glow can turn off the kings in the dark.
  3. can you run magnum spoons as free sliders or cheaters??? I have always run small spoons for cheaters but have read some post that people are using mag spoons???? Thanks.
  4. Glow green or White and green dot spin doctor with many different types of flys. Green glow, green crinkle, My favorite....the hammer flys, especially the glow hammer. glow big fin. everybody has there own favorites. If you go to attomiks web site, he has a lot of the hot combos together. Spoons......my favorites are the green and blue dolphins. The new UV stinger patterns have worked really well for me on trout and salmon. I see a lot of west end reports that use the 42nd spoon and spinny. I have not run it yet out of Oswego. Hope this helps a little. Good luck!!
  5. I'm headed up next week with my 8 year old. Any particular color or size spoon working best or just all the usual gators and dolphins?? I have never fished for spring kings. Thanks.
  6. We will be up Monday, I was really hoping to stay away from combat trolling in tight along the salmon river mouth. I enjoy deep trolling for kings more . Of course we have to make it through the hurricane here in Mass first. Damn hurricane
  7. So colder water in shallow then Scott?
  8. The big northeast wind forecast Sunday from the hurricane. Will it drive temps up or down in the Mexico bay area??
  9. Speaking of torpedoes. I have two that are painted black and one that is just plain lead color. Does anybody add any color tape or flash to them to help attract more salmon?? Or are they fine on there own?
  10. I run 15lb torpedoes off my probe rigger now and it tracks great. Last year I had the 10 lb torpedoes and it wasn't enough weight. very little blow back with the 15.
  11. Thanks for the info Time out. My little guy loves to reel in the browns!!

  13. I fish for them here in Mass as a warm up for trolling kings in lake O. They like the cold water as well so it will be tough for you with out a temp probe. I usuall find the 55 degree water and set up my spread through that temp zone. Orange and gold broken bac rapalas of down riggers works best for me. What lake are you fishing???
  14. I run 30 lb main line on my rigger reels. Do I need a fluro leader for the spin doctors or can I just run my regular main line to the spiny??
  15. Does anybody know if there's anybody who's sells ethanol free fuel in the Oswego and Fairhaven area?? My spot has dried up.
  16. Same thing for me. I have caught kings fishing them both ways. Just wondering if there made to run a certain way. Maybe Tom will help us here.
  17. How to you guys rig your flys on the leader?? Do you put the head with the red twine on it facing the hooks or facing tward the flasher??
  18. unbelievable!!! I hope nobody hires him as a guide this season!!
