Change your handle to "Salmon Bob" and  you will start catching. 

Crap I shouldn't have let my 12 year old daughter name me and included salmon in my name, didn't think of that! I want to catch more fish too!

Hit a big wave then went and bought a bigger boat! Wish I could do that, curious how much bigger boat did you buy? Sounds like fun!

Check the weather and push back your day off one day

if you have to. Suppose to get bad. Don't expect to get out an hour after the small craft advisory is lifted. Takes a while for the lake to calm down.

I'm with you bassinbob, its much less likely people will post a report when they have a bad day fishing (if there is one) I fished out of sandy pond 100 to 140 feet of water on Sunday afternoon after the wind died down. Marked alot of fish mostly 80-100 feet down, bunches of them. However getting them to bite was another thing, ran dipseys,ff and spoon.200 to 300. Came up empty still trying to figure it out. Maybe the wind had them mixed up or I'm just too much a newbie.

Checked the lake this morning, too rough for me to venture out. Talked to 2 other guys one with a 22 footer and one with a 19 footer. They aren't venturing out either. Maybe wait till later supposed to calm down, 

Thanks, another question, what is optimum temperature for salmon, internet searches says 52-58,,, I see a lot of posts saying looking for 48 degree water, I'm new and just bought a probe.

Anyone use fish attractor slime and put it on flashers? I know its used on brown trout in the spring on spoons. Also how far back do you normally put your flasher from your dipsey diver?

Thanks guys, just ordered the cheaper fish hawk, drop down reel up type. Still 6 miles out Is far enough for me in my 19 footer. 500 feet would be like 12 miles from sandy pond.maybe I'll try to catch a laker.

Sorry about off topic,,,here is a report.....fished out of sandy pond Sunday morning to 150 fow, fished ff, spoons, and cutbait, maybe fish not here yet...fished 6am to 11 am. Got no probe yet so temp is a guess.FYI I'm a newbie so don't go by my point of view, still trying to figure lake fishin out. Thanks chinook35 I'll check about transducer.

When I try to change my lowrence lcx-18 from 200 kHz to 50 kHz it won't let me and just beeps? Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

5 to 8 foot waves with occasional 9 footers for Saturday,,, I keep checking the forecast hoping it would change,,,bummer weekend

Fished out of sandy pond in 150 feet, saturday am, got skunked, did anyone mark fish or catch anything round there?
