    Thanks Gator. Makes sense, I did cast a couple while fishing at a pond just to get an idea of the action. Agree they would likely be a more aggressive presentation. I will toss out a couple in the spread once I get going and update either way.

    Curious if anyone has tried running the Iron Decoy Lures for trolling? Saw these at the Niagara Fishing Show and was just intrigued enough to pick up a few. They look quite a bit different than normal trolling spoons almost more like a casting or jigging spoon. Definitely much heavier than would be typical (1 oz). Owner was a real nice guy, said they work good for either. Due to a combination of life events, I haven't had a chance to test them out. Curious if anyone has ran these? I will plan to throw them out on a couple of junk lines. I imagine it may fall into the category of uncommon/niche tackle but hey never know and I am always a sucker for something new. Seems like the salmon line is fairly new from my brief talk with the owner and may be the first season they have been around.

    Captain Rick is absolutely the man!! Despite me not knowing anything and I’m sure asking 1 million dumb questions, Rick was very helpful. We got on the fish, and had a great day. Of course the sun decided to shine as soon as I got home, but can only ask for so much!

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but does anyone have a good breakdown of the main Flasher colors and shapes? What motivates this question is I recently got the pictures orange flasher pictured as a bonus off a Facebook marketplace buy. It’s quite different than the flashers I have run in the past (see the other yellow for example). While both 8 inches, the orange one is a fair bit thinner and no fins on back. All this got me wondering, when should I be running which flasher? Is the orange even something I should bother running on Lake O? If so, just a different action than other flashers? This site is always tremendously helpful, so thanks in advance.

    Maybe a dumb question, but are the bay rats floating? Interested, thank you!

    Thanks! Yes I was looking at the 12 inch boards which are the largest that I see. Should that be okay with that much copper?

    Cold winter days have me thinking about getting setups ready for next year. Anybody have experience with the Dreamweaver Ninja Planer boards? I recently purchased some coppers from 200-500 feet and want to buy some planer boards to help get them in the spread. Last year was my first fishing any of the great lakes and I have never run copper or planer boards before. Only time I tried to run one last year it became a big tangled mess LOL. Hopefully new trolling motor will help me track more straight while solo fishing, but I still think using planer boards to get the lines further spread out would help I will at least occasionally be running solo. The Dreamweaver ninja boards look appealing because they appear (at least on video) slightly easier to remove. Are the twelve inch boards the size I would want for that much copper? Any tips of using them highly appreciated. Any thoughts on these versus Church Tackle boards? Do I want something else? Thanks!

    Hi all, I have a Yamaha jet boat center console (family boat). Id like to get a 36v trolling motor setup for trolling for this next season to troll for salmon. Who should I talk to? I think I’d like a minn kota terrova 72 inch, but open to ideas.

    Wanting to head out this weekend from Braddock Bay before we take the pull the boat for the year. This is my first year fishing the great lakes, and it has definitely been a learning experience to say the least, but I have managed to land a few thanks to this board and all of the resources. My main question (which is probably naive) but is it too late to target salmon? If not too late, I think I'd need to head towards either Gennessee or Sandy....If too late, I was just thinking about targeting lake trout. Any thoughts?
