What an ABSOLUTE BLAST today. 18 in an hour and a half. I never sat down!!!!! 75 fow head west. Dwn rggrs 60 worm harness and stick bait. And spoons and worm harness on a dipsies were so hot 3 setting 170 feet. 2.1 miles an hour.what a blessing.
3 men limit today after abandoning our trolling program we decided to bottom bounce. we were seeing more fish close to the bottom today so as soon as we switched we started hooking them real good. same area Maybe a little further on our side this time. Our best worm harness is of course 3D worm harass gold orange Hatchet blade with RED hooks. It was an absolute battle axe today I believe I got yelled at for us getting to our limit too quick LOL they were having too much fun!!!!!!!!
Fished out of Buffalo Sunday and Monday from 11 o'clock AM till 2pm. Canadian line just passed sonic a shoal before sturgeon point. Got our 2 man limit both times fishing fishing 35 and 40 down on the riggers and 75 on our dipsies. 2.5mph. Fished only 3D worm harnesses single blade black and purple nonstop!!!!
If you look back at my previous posts it explains it pretty good we really had no other change other than we didn't bother using lead core because our dipsy divers and Down rigors were so active. The biggest advice I tell people that have not been having good luck as it also happened to me back in the day... Is pick your speed up chances and you're going too slowmost guys like to troll 1.5to 1.75 speed over ground .that is way too slow this time of yearin most cases at least that's what we experience on my boat. I'm at 2 and a 1/2 to sometimes 2.75 depending on how deep my lines are. Downloaders were at 73 and Dipti divers on a 3 setting were 220. And dipsy divers on a one setting were 175.
