Snubbers for Kings?
LakerTaker85 replied to MarkNY's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
i run snubbers on my set ups, they seem to work fine with not many lost fish. i also run 30lb wire. I run dream weaver(i think, they are the two rubber bands that are twisted together) snubbers which work alot better than the luhr jensen ones. I have heard mixed reviews in regards to snubbers but i believe when running steel you need a snubber. It allows some absorbtion when those kings start shaking theirs heads. i also believe that even the expensive reels cant react fast enough to compensate for the head shakes, especially when you have 200-300 feet out. -

i've been fishing sodus the past few trips. in my opinion the fishing in sodus has been better then any other spot ive fished (near the east side). the trip is worth it!! we have landed good number of matures on each trip this year and in the past years the story is the same. -

So fishing at night for these bad boys... I have been wanting to fish at night but not sure what the good techniques are or if certain spots are better than other. For example is fishing in front of major tribs better? like in front of Oswego when the kings are staging? Also is the use of glow spoons and attractors/ flies the way to go? thanks,

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): Time on Water: Weather/Temp:sat --- nice day sun --- rain & lightning Wind Speed/Direction: not much SSW Waves: 1 or less Surface Temp: Location: sodus LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 15-16 Total Boated: 11 Species Breakdown:salmon, rainbow, brown Hot Lure: green and crome spin dr. with any green fly & SS red ice Trolling Speed: 2.0-2.5 Down Speed: no probe Boat Depth: 120-275 Lure Depth: 90-120 the steelie was about 55 ft off dipsy ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== got on the water sat afternoon and fished till dark. thie fishing was slow at first we boated our first king, weighing about 23 pounds. It hit the green spin dr. w/ atomik live fly off the dipsy out about 330 ft on the 1.5 setting. We were fishing in about 180 fow. picked up 3 or 4 small ones after that in the same fow. Around 7 pm the fishing was awesome for an hour or so then it shut off. Most fish taken today were on the spin fly combos. Wonder bread was good. Sunday we hit the water at 5:45 and started boating fish. Hooked up on a nice one off the 120 rigger, about 18 pounds. hit a few other small kings and one small brown. Around 1230 the dipsy fired with a HUGE steelie. I fought the beast for about ten minutes. It came straight to the boat just beyond our net reach and started spazing out!!! Then i watched the SS red ice dream weaver pull from its mouth. The fish gave us a good luck and appeared to be in the 15+ range. Boated another small rainbow and some other small kings. Today fish seemed more scattered and we hit them in all depths. the steelie was hit the dipsy out 200 foot on the 2.5 setting. Today we had a bunch of big fish on but couldnt keep them on the hook! We had knots pull apart and hooks pull from mouths! We left the water around 230 after we got rained on for hours. The weather was bad on sunday rain and lightning. It was a spinny/ fly bite pretty much all day both days. some other guys had good bites on sushi flies with cut baits. We marked some good bait in 50-70 fow but couldnt hook up with anything. All kings came from the 180-220 area.
