Hey all, long time fisherman, just moved back from Charleston SC where I did alot of shark fishing, and jetty fishing in FL.
I bought a 16' Aluminum deep V with a 50hp Johnson on it, and my brother and I have been targeting pike in Conesus and Sodus bay with success.
We launched out of Braddoks bay a few weeks ago, landed a nice brown trout on a rattle trap, and saw a bunch more.
The pike fishing has been not great for us in Conesus, so I thought I'd switch it up a bit. I sold all of my big saltwater reels when I moved, and my current largest reel is a Stradic Ci4+ 4000 with 20# braid and a 7' Avid Medium rod.
Would i be able to run a dipsy ( just learned what they were ) - on that for browns and or lake trout in Ontario?
I just stumbled on this board - tons of great info!
I don't want to go too far out on the lake on my boat - and we don't have downriggers obviously, but I did mount 4 Scotty rod holders to the gunwales.
How far / deep would we have to go to target the browns / lakers now?
Or would you suggest trying something different?
Thanks in advance!
