    Shoot over to Charlestown, RI dusk and/or dawn.

    Great. Please keep posting, I'm trying to get up there at least once this fall and want there to at least be a few fish in the area.
  3. rswanson330
    Hrmph. Maybe I'll just l stay down here and fish Long Island Sound.

    Ewww. I've caught birds before, but always on or slightly beneath the surface. The last one was an ospray on a Danny while plugging for stripers in the CT River. I was glad that one dropped the plug after a somewhat long struggle. Getting birds off the line IS a royal pain in the butt. They're never happy. So, you making soup?

    Let us know how you do in Wilson, I fished there once (late last June) with "SalmonBoy", Three of us were limited out by 8:30. The captain (forgot his name) told us that he chartered in both Mexico Bay and Wilson, and there is a world of diffence between the two; Wilson being far superior.

    Second hand info, My buddy picked up a couple 10 pound browns out of Oswego on Tuesday. He also noted that the weather was snotty, they had to get off the water early. It seems that fish are there, just not easily caught. I have no info on lures or depths, but when I saw the picture he sent I had to ask how much the fish weigher, they were obviously large fish.

    Does anybody run teasers between their diver and whatever is behind the diver; flasher or whatever? I thought I've seen this in the past, but can't find a reference to it. The way I see it, the leader off the Dipsy would actually be made up of three seperate leaders, Each incorporating a squid (or tube fly), a bead and a swivel. Or something. Thoughts?

    Well, That ain't good. They have succeeded in screwing up every smelt holding water body I'm aware of that they have been "magically" introduced to. Down here in the flatlands (CT) we used to have a couple great kokanee lakes that are no longer so too great due to the introduction of alewifes (East Twin and West Hill).

    The thing is, I never read anything, anywhere about that lake!!! Its a great fishery.
  11. rswanson330
    Yeah, that's what I was thinking... I recall that the VT side was pretty shallow and it didn't start dropping until you got up to the barrels. One day I may rent a place on the upper lake and give it a shot. Thanks and Good Luck!!!

    Are you fishing into Canada or staying on the VT side? I haven't been in Magog in a while, we used to fish for smelt thru the ice over the sunken islands. I haven't had my boat up there in probably 15 years, But I've wondered about fishing the upper lake. I've never been beyound the border marker bouys.
  13. rswanson330
    Yeah, I drive close to six hours to go up there for them. I haven't caught a big'un yet, But its coming.

    I run sticks and spoons 75-100' behind the boat when I'm luck enough to get up there in April. Everything is off the board, I don't use the riggers. Tight to shore. I've had good years and not so good years. If you have clear skys and clear water you may need to run further behind the boat. Look for dirty water.
