  1. Seems like there are plenty of fish in 30 to 40 fow now.  You can drift worm harnesses at 1.0 mph or troll plugs down near bottom.  I don't fish the west end but I am guessing the same program would work fine.

  2. Got out for a couple hours around 2:30.  Fished North of Shackleton in the deeper water.  Slow pick but ended up with 7, six keepers.  Reef runners on the inlines, F9 rapalas on the riggers, one on a Stinger Scorpion on a 30 foot Jet Diver.  Got really snotty quickly out of the west and had a long wet ride back to the launch.   The wife was really impressed...

  3. From my experience, at 2.0 to 2.3 mph, a small reef runner out 75', clip on a 2 oz. snap weight and let it out another 75' will get you down in the 25 to 30 foot range, depending on if you are running braid or mono.  You can play around with different weight snap weights and troll until you hit bottom to fine tune your presentation/depths.  Leadcore can get you down also.

  4. Was pretty nasty this morning and we didn't feel like getting soaked and bounced around on the ride to Shackelton so we set up near the launch and trolled east towards Lakeport.  Caught three keepers on the first long pass in 35 fow.  Fished some waypoints that were good last year in front of Lakeport and came up empty.  Never really found a lot of marks and maybe the cold front had them shut off a bit.  Fish were between 17 and 21.5" and came on Reefrunners on the inlines and one on F9 perch Rapala on a rigger.

  5. Crack O' Noon charters set lines promptly at 12:00 and had a nice steady pick for a few hours.  Fished 1 to 2 miles west of the Little Salmon River in shallow.  Lots of good color and temps up to 40.6 on my temp gauge.  Did more on flutter spoons than sticks.  No standout out except a hammered brass/silver 44 Sutton fired on the rigger pretty much any time we got in clear water.  2.1 for speed.

     

     

     

  6. I think public access makes a big difference.  Eatonbrook reservoir has it, they got 760,000 0.5 inch walleyes stocked in 2013.  Not sure what they got in 2014 and will get in 2015.  Not many guys seem to target walleyes there and it is pretty much a ghost town. I have tried a couple times with no luck and the residents look at me like I have three heads when they see my trolling spread.  

     

    0.5 inch walleyes would probably just be food in Otisco.  

  7. Not that I know of Greg.  I think Fenwick made one at one time and Berkley had theirs that made the spiral with one offset guide on the butt section and the tip section that just went on upside down.  I rebuilt twelve of those for a boat in Mexico Bay a few years back but I made my spiral over 6 guides, just like we do on the ones we make now.
