    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    I suspect colour is grossly overrated. I opened a salmons stomach, all I saw was small fish, dark on top silver on the bottom withe large black eyes. I suspect that's why 95% of Spoons have silver back side, and that's why the Salmon strike, flashing silver looks like lunch. 

     

    I may be wrong but I suspect marketing puts out all the colors to catch fishermen, not fish.

    so agree with this     Though I am guilty of buying every color out there i think speed / action while fishing at the right depth (where the fish are) is the key

    agree with above     

    We always have meat fishing on our boat   It may not take any shots all day but we always keep one in 42 degree ice water   Usually ends up taking the largest fish of the day

     

    Tuning isn't as bad as you may think   Most of the name brand heads come pre tuned   I usually take a look at the roll and it is usually good to go.  Play with leader length and with twinkies or without 

    Another idea is to think about speed   I try to stay 2.2 - 2.6 downspeed assuming you have that on boat.  I find too fast gets less meat hits   Just my opinion

    Out of Bald Eagle Marina this weekend but fished east toward Sandy  Had some boat issues but was out for a couple hours after the blow sat and a couple hours early am sun   Bite was hot   Everything took shots

     

    7 color / 10 colors were hot with Hulk and Burnt bread mags 

    Spoons on riggers were going as well 65-80ft

    Mag Dispys out 125-160 and 1 setting all were busy

     

    Worked primarily 85-110 fow and bite was 40-75ft down

     

    Lost one pig and all other fish were mid teen kings with a mix of lakers and a cpl browns

     

    Hope the fishing stays hot for all

    Cannon Mag 10s have been a world of trouble

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    So I was searching for threads because I am looking to replace our deep rigger   Have Cannons for the others but wanted to run 20# ball on this one as we usually run the probe off it    We are worried with breaking them off being so fast   I was hoping Cannon had a new slower option but in reading this it appears same issue.  Does anyone run 20# weights off of the canon mag 10s?  Anyone doing it successfully? Thanks in advance
