    Bear Creek HOT 8/9/14

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    Well it was our first time ever fishing for trout and salmon on our boat and were not expecting to get the skunk off today but managed well. We set up shop in 120 feet at around 6pm with a crazy current and marked a lot of bait high and fish aka lakers low. Had a rigger at 110 and another at 75 with temps around 65 on both. We were hitting lakers left and right on every spoon we had and color we had and catching them in doubles and triples too. Orange crush, stingers chicken wing, NK green, and even dipsey green spinny took fish later. Over all we managed 11 lakers, 1 King, and a tank brown. We stayed in the 115-140 range all day and couldn't pick up anythingbut mostly lakers. post-146972-14076388104925_thumb.jpgpost-146972-14076388474995_thumb.jpgpost-146972-14076388712231_thumb.jpgGreat day for our first voyage.

    Finally got the boat launched around 12 and headed out for the first time EVER (on our boat) to find some spring browns. We got out to about 7-10 fow. Put down the right rigger with a wonderbread spoon then sent down a watermellon spoon about 100 ft back. Then we put down a rapala J9 B (blue) and a F9 Firetiger on the boards with a split shot 1 1/2 ft up on both. Tried to find some brown and green water but it was very crystal clear water even out to 30 fow. Trolled west and east of the outlet in about 7 to 15fow. We hadn't seen or even heard of anyone around that area catching anything. Water temp. was around 50 degrees. After about 3 long hours of a very stong south wind and not even a release we decided to pull up and head in for a late lunch as many boats around us did also. All in all a good day on the water but it is frustrating to see all these great reports and not even getting a release. :envy:  Anyone else have the same results today? Any tips on getting these scattered browns would be GREAT!  :)

    ***Dipsey Diver Set up Question***

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    This may seem very easy question to some of you but I am having some trouble finding some info. on how and what to use with a dipsey diver as I am just getting into salmon and trout fishing on Lake Ontario:). There is many stand points out there about how to rig a dipsey diver to the wire and whether or not to use a snubber and if it's a good idea to use mono or wire. I have been searching on the internet about how to set up a dipsey with how long the leaders have to be ect. to the fly from the flasher. How do you set up the dipsey to the wire or mono and if you use a snubber. Also, what is a good pound test line. Any tips on dipsey diving would be great. Also, if you can leave a website, comment, steps ect. of how to set up a dipsey to the flasher and fly that would be great. I have mastered the downrigging but now it's time to tackle the fly. All help would be greatly appreciated. What is the most effective way to tie/ set up a dipsey with a fly or flasher based on your expierence???

    PS. I have spent l lots of time on this subject but was just wondering how you pro's set up the dipsey rod because there is many ways to do it. Thanks:)
