    jigging for kings?

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Anyone successfully use jigging for King's on Lake O? Seems like it would be a lot of fun. Check out this video of a show filmed in Wisconsin where they are using Berkley Gulp jigs and they are catching Kings, Browns and Steelies.

    Cleaning Fiberglass Boat

    Give Magic Eraser a try. I used it on some black marks on my non-skid decking AFTER scrubbing like crazy with Star Brite's non skid cleaner... The black marks came off effortlessly. I'm skipping the non skid deck cleaner next time.

    Surface bite - I-Bay

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    I was out of I-Bay this morning. At about 220 fow, I'm seeing many finning fish feeding on the surface. I put out two rods flat lined 180 feet straight out the back , one NBK spoon and one Dirty White boy spoon. After trolling through what seemed like a very larch school of surface feeding fish, I missed one hit on the NBK and thats it.

    Questions:

    1. Are those fish likely steelhead, cohos or something else?

    2. If I had been using planar boards, would that have increased my odds of catching them instead of watching them feed?

    3. Seeing them feed on the surface about 80 feet of both port and starboard sides of the boat, is that an indication I should be using planars?

    Thanks all for any information you would like to share.

    Tight lines.

    Help me catch my first Salmon

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Heading out of iBay today 5pm-ish. I've got two dipsy rods each with 50lb braid on them and two #1 dipsy divers. Planning on using a spin doctor with a green fly on one. I've got an e-chip flasher and e-chip fly for the other.

    How many FOW should I be looking for?

    How far back should I be setting up?

    What speed (SOG)? I don't have down speed.

    Should I be seeing lots of fish on the fish finder or singles here and there?

    Thank you in advance!!!!!

    Dipsy Rod

    Ok..the 47's are in. I'm spooling them each up with 300 yds of 65lb Powerpro, no backing.

    Putting a wrap or two of electrical tape on the spool to avoid line slip on recommendation of a friend of mine.

    Is this common practice?

    Bachelor Party Charter Trip

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    My buddies are on me to choose something to do for my bachelor party. I'm thinking about doing a charter salmon trip. There would be 7 of us in mid June out of the Rochester area. How is the action in June? Anyone know of a good charter that can handle 7 guests? Has anyone else done a bachelor party like this?

    Thanks!

    Newbie - Buying Rods/Reels/Line for Dispsy

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Folks,

    I'm going to give Salmon fishing on Lake Ontario a shot this coming spring and I'm starting to shop around for rods and reels. I grew up salt water fishing for blue's and stripers. I've got zero experience on Lake O for Kings. Well except for my few trials late last summer with a lead core striper set up.

    Here is a set up that I'm considering to use with a Dipsey. I'm not planning on buying downriggers, at least not this year.

    http://www.cabelas.com/p-0018647117265a.shtml

    Reel Model DM-DD-106M on the 10' 6" rod.

    What type of line, weight and amount should be on a configuration similar to the above?

    Thanks in advance.

    Dipsy on Lead Core

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Folks,

    Newbie here... trying out the sport with what gear I have and need some advice. I've got a trolling rod typically used for stripped bass fishing. It's got about 300ft of lead core line with some amount of mono backing. I've got a Size 1 Dipsy set to 0 trailing a spin doctor and an atomik fly.

    Is the depth chart that came with the Dipsy applicable even though I'm using lead core line?

    I'm only using one rod, should I be going straight off the back of the boat or setting the dipsy to go off the side?

    I go out of IBay and am trying to land a fish before the boat needs to be put away. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Smalltauk.
