How do use connect a self locating snap to a downrigger
shawn393 replied to Big Guy's topic in Open Lake Discussion
is it the same clip that's on scotty releases?if so then you just squeeze it and put the cable in the sharp bend and let go. -

i wonder how the action compares to copper.the unique action of copper is the only thing that gets bit some days.i think i'm going to have to do some experimenting and see if it ever out produces copper

my preference is the lurk disco divers(formerly walker).no plastic rings to wear out.i buy the clear ones and add uv or glow tape.size 4 for early season and staging time and size 5 for deep in the summer

if i were you with a 17 ft boat then the wind direction would determine where to go.for walleye you would have to go to the east end of the lake but you can catch salmon from any port soon enough.

Trying my luck at trolling flies...

you can use the genny launch on the weekends.if cones are blocking the entrance just move them.they are just there to keep people out while they work on weekdays.i-bay is supposed to be in by now but who know with this winter weather if they have done it yet.

the most important thing about wire is to always keep it tight on the spool.always let it out slow so it planes out as it's going back.when it's out keep the drag just tight enough to not let the line creep out if you are not planning on using snubbers. it's not hard to fish with and it out fishes braid in my experience

there is a new marina being built right next to the launch and the construction crew blocks it off to keep people out of the way.i have been using it on the weekends and going to shumway across the river during the week. docks will be in at i-bay soon.

Any suggestions for trolling in Hemlock?
shawn393 replied to SwedishFish's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
yes definitely small baits.the south end is very weedy and is the best largemouth and pickerel fishing .also is where springwater creek feeds in and where the rainbows are coming out of this time of year. don't get discouraged by your summertime trolling results.hemlock can experience deep water oxygen depletion in the summer which confines the cold water species to a narrow layer of water.this is where the sonar helps.keep at it. you will figure it out -
Any suggestions for trolling in Hemlock?
shawn393 replied to SwedishFish's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
the dec used to stock some landlocks into hemlock when they had extra but it has been awhile since they have.they have been trying to get the natural population of rainbows to recover so they haven't stocked browns there either in the last 4 or 5 years.it's a good lake trout fishery and the bass and pickerel fishing is excellent.sounds like you're not fishing deep enough for summer lake trout.you can catch them shallower in the spring.a decent fish finder helps. -
