Offshore IV

I had a meat rig, flasher and mag dipsey all snap off on me last week. There goes $50worth of gear. I felt terrible. If the fish still had the setup hooked to it’s mouth, there’s no way even a brute salmon will be able to feed or even hold up a mag dipsey. Unless it comes unhooked, he couldn’t live long. Last sept we hooked a leadcore bundle, along with a flasher fly plug and slide diver. Lol someone was not pleased with that situation. Growing up on the river, you’d see fish pass by with hooks and eggs everywhere, mainly the tail. Pretty sad.

No problem- seems as though they were out in deeper water!

0/0, fish were 100’ from 130’ to 220’. Marked them but no takers. There was a strong population at 100’ too. Hoping for better luck next time!

Thats true. I tend to forget how huge the lake is!

Mexico Bay has been on fire for me. Morning and night.

Nice. That’s what I’m going to do from now on.

I thought about doing that. When I went to fat nancys (feels like I’m there twice each week) they only had 20#. If they had 600# flouro I woulda bought that

Thanks for the encouragement guys lol

Where do you get 30# flouro? I’ve looked everywhere. I live in Mexico.

Just when you think you’ve got this whole salmon fishing thing down. Ive been fortunate to catch 2-3 everytime I’ve gone out since mid June. Not tonight. We trolled from 90’ to 160’. 130’ was the depth we found to be productive. Went 0/7 with 3 break offs (!) and 4 weak hook sets. I’m running 30lb big game and 20lb seagar flouro. Been doing this for a few years and I’ve never seen anything like what happened to us last night. As funny as it is, it’s still sad that there’s some fish out there with my flasher fly setups and a meat rig set. 3 of the fishes surfaced and looked to be around 15-20lb. Flasher fly anything green “took” them. Lol. Also white flasher white meat rig has always been my hot producer took one almost immediately and is somewhere in Lake Ontario currently... speed 2.70. I don’t have a fish hawk so idk about at the ball. Hooked fish with a mag dipsey, tadpole/planer 120’ set, rest were riggers. 110’ and 60’ sets. good of luck to you guys! It was nice talking to the solo runner we met at the launch last night at 10!

Have you guys seen the new caddy shack fly? I bought a UV purple/silver flasher with it. Before that purchase, everything I run is green glow or UV. Aside from my white/silver flasher UV with a white meat rig. Which has consistently caught the biggest fish on my boat.
