Spring brown spoons weight?
Kevin J Legg replied to hookedupf7's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I ran one shorter and one longer on a 2 color and the longer one took more fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Spring brown spoons weight?

I also add varying amount of split shot 5’ above the spoon when fishing in deeper water. When in tight I run without weight and watch my turns so boards don’t stall. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

I personally run 50/50 mix of spoons and sticks. Sometimes they favor one over the other, sometimes it doesn’t matter. I run straight 12 lb big game mono with small snap swivels so it’s easy to change lures. When shallow I run without any weight. When out in 12 fow or deeper I add spit shot or use 2 or 3 color leadcore off the boards and drop riggers deeper. Spoons can certainly hang up and cause problems if your boards stall so it’s critical to watch your turns. I like running a good spread 6-8 lures so fish can tell me what they want as it changes day to day. That said it is better to start with small spread and build as you get experience. When bite is on a 4 lure spread is plenty to keep you busy. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Might be better targeting the brown trout. Stay in 5-25 fow along shoreline and troll small stick baits and spoons at 1.8-2.2 mph. May find them anywhere from the cut to Oswego and even inside the harbor. Look for warmer water with some color to it. You may also hit some lakers, steelhead, salmon and pike.

Looking forward to some early browns

I have my boat uncovered and in the garage. Engine started right up. Vacuumed it and will do some cleaning and by tonight it should be ready for spring fishing. It will need a good power washing later this spring. I may be greatly jumping the gun but it’s always better to be prepared.[emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Rather than hit the sloppy ice today I got 8 rods spooled up for browns and walleyes. 2 for shallow riggers, 4 for inline boards, and 2 with 2 color lead core off boards. Next will be uncovering the boat, putting it in my garage, and getting it ready to roll. Then wait for a launch to open. This warm rain and wind should help! Looking forward to browns, perch and then walleyes. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Last year I was able to launch at Mexico on March 10th. Anyone have any idea when the launch may open up? Was thinking with little ice cover and the current warm conditions things might open up early again. I do have my boat plowed out so it wouldn’t take a lot to get ready to fish. Probably just a pipe dream. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Cayuga Fabulous February Morning for Fishing

I heard a ATV went through the ice off Long Point State Park Chaumont Bay. With warming temperatures, longer days, and higher sun you need to be very careful as ice conditions can change rapidly. I’m sure with the big increase in ice fishermen this year we will unfortunately see more of this in the next few weeks. Be careful out there! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

As a Hobart alumni I have followed his amazing career. Here’s a guy that is truly a great roll model, unlike so many pro athletes these days. Now he has a ring!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Years ago 4 of us shot 17 snowshoes in January with no snow on the ground. That was at Fort Drum. Another time we got 16 on my wife’s family farm in Canton. That was nearly 40 years ago. Now habitat has matured and predator numbers have increased. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I’ve had a couple experiences with both coyotes and foxes and turkey. Several times I’ve had coyotes come into my turkey decoys/ calls while hunting. One even grabbed a down bird and I had to scare it off. Also saw one following two birds across a field. I also had a fox attempt to grab a downed turkey that was flopping and didn’t want to leave. Deer hunting I had a fox come by when turkeys went to roost and I used a mouth squeak to shoot it. They definitely zero in on them in my area. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
