my brother and I trolled right by you on Saturday by the Webster pier, that section from the pier to Shipbuilders took all the shots for us.
Nice rig!!!
What size split shot do you use ahead of a spoon?
Thanks!!
Went out later and hit the water at 10:30 and fished until 3:30. Went 8 for 13 with all browns. Fished from Shipbuilders to Webster Pier, 10 FOW being the best for us. Found some stained water and that was where we took all the fish. All stick baits, other than 2 onfire tiger, all natural colors did well. Mostly 3-4 lbers with on nice one which was 12 lbs. My phone went dead so very poor picture from my brothers phone.
I am planning on running my stick baits on dulock snaps this year. Should I take the split rings off the nose of the lure and run the snaps right on the lure or can I keep the split rings? Not sure if it affects the action or not.
Thanks in advance!
Just bought 2 of the Cisco's for my brother's lund, he has the Predator, those mounts are worth every penny. You just need to check if the track on your boat has a 90 degree angle on it or 42 degree. I bought the 90's and then had to exchange them.
I got a bunch of these spoons from my brother, anyone have much luck with these on lake o for trout or salmon? I have some good colors but I have not seen any threads about them.
I inherited some older NK's from my brother, some of the silver backs are pretty dull. I am sure this has been asked and answered a bunch of times but what can be used to get the shine back? They also have a rust smell to them due to the split rings rusting up, is there anything to get rid of the smell?
Thanks in advance
we have fished more on the east side of the north end. we killed them there last year, now can't get one...weird.
gambler, are you fishing in the crowd in the middle of the north end?
I just read Keating's 'Trolling for Trout & Salmon' book and when trolling stick baits off boards, he uses bead chain sinkers from where he runs his leaders to the stick bait. Does everyone do this? I didn't last year and we didn't pull a brown off our boards when trolling in the spring, wondering if that was the issue. I figured the stick baits we run (Smithwicks & Thunder sticks) would dive on their own.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
since they slide up and down the line to a certain stopping point, how do you let out the appropriate leader length and then still manage to 'lock' it in place to run? seems like you need two people to set a rod but I must be not visioning it clearly?
Finally after seeing bucks chasing does away from me, I saw a doe coming my way and heard a grunt. I spotted this buck making a scrape. I hit 'the can' call and he came in on a string to 15 yards broadside. Perfect shot behind the shoulder, and heard him crash 50 yards away. Gotta love the rut in November!
