Going out Saturday, newbie on Lake O has couple questions

[moonfish]

With the winds today & Thursday, do you think water will still be stained Saturday with a Southern wind ? Are 8' by 10 lb fluorocarbon leaders long enough ? Maybe 10' ? Idk. Any thoughts on my spoons ? 3.75 Super slims. It's extremely rare I get out there with my small boat. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Spoons will work. I usually run 8 to 10 ft leaders . If you have a few various stick baits may want to throw in the mix. I like smithwicks the best but a lot of different opinions. Smithwicks firetiger can be money…..

yes, water will be stained. Genny has been flowing pretty well.  MODIS shows more color to west than east.

Bright colors will be your friend then 👍👍

I don’t ever run leaders on Walleye/Browns rigger or flat planer rods but I am not far from the Niagara river. Find warmest water you can even if there isn’t much of it. Be prepared to go slow 1.7-1.9. I would run mostly stix on planer lines. Spoons on shallow rigger and shallow diver lines if depth allows

When starting out it’s usually best to run a mix of naturals and colors and let the fish decide
