    Marathon Brown Trip

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    If you are fishing Mexico bay you should be fine with the waves, 2' or less, not sure where you are seeing 3-4' paperman. You have the depth correct, find green water if you can, if not fish the stained water. We have not been going any slower than 2.4 gps.

    Thanks for the speed. Slower than 2 is hard in my boat without putting out the bags. I've heard about rocks near the plant? Are they marked or is it something I need to be aware of?

    Double check the wave forecast. It can be a long ride in 3-4ft waves depending on the size of your boat. I try to avoid that in my 18' aluminium boat. Speaking from 37yrs fishing the lake. Right now the forecast looks good but that can change.

    I have the site for the wave forecast 1 or less for now., west wind could complicate things. I did a 3 or less day on my 19', and that is my limit. Luckily it went from the 3 to less by mid day. I wasn't having fun trying to set lines on a wave machine.

    I am planning to make the 3 hour trip to try and get into some browns Sunday. Was planning on launching out of Selkirk shores and make a run toward the plant. Find stained water 20' or less 1.5-2.0mph. Mix of bay rats and spoons (greens?)This is my first time targeting browns and only my third time on the lake. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Shallow spoons

    I'm looking for what guys feel is best to run spoons off boards in the first ten feet or so of the column. Without sinking line. I've been told split shot but was also told they will twist. Also looking for hook recommendations for running meat for landlocks, more so on smaller lakes. I've been using octopus but have had a few come off. Thanks for any information. I'm a new to this.

    If we are out there and want to try the river, is it easy to navigate? Is there anything I should know about navigating the river? I have a targa 18. Thanks for any information. This site has been great helping me try new things. I just don't want to get in over my head.

    Fishing with wire help.

    I'm new to trolling this upcoming season will be my second. I'm looking at getting some wire setups. First question is wire divers, is a snubber recommended? Next is as far as copper. When trolling copper do I put on as much copper as it can hold and let out as depth requires. Or does a rod have to be set up with a specific amount of copper for depth so I'm into the backing. Is attaching copper to boards or inlines ok or should it be attached to backing? Sorry if these are odd questions but I'm new to this and love trying new techniques.
