I got one at gander last summer did you check there?

July 31 AM The great inside BIG king fishing was not there for us today. We fished a couple of hours and sent the crew home. Took a half dozen fish but all small. Hottest lure was the gator at 44'. PM - Headed north to the 27N area. Found plenty of steels and a couple of kings. Hot lures: Pickled Nipple on 55' slider, Green echip/green hammer - 450 copper, MOONSHINE Carbon 14 at 70', MOONSHINE Purple Nurple at 55'. Catching was good and the trip was short, very nice on a calm lake. August 1 Inside screen did not look good so we headed north. Set up at 25N had a slow morning. Lit up the Steelhead and Teenage kings at the 29N line on both sides of the noon hour. Hot lures: Steely Dan 200' copper, 75' slider, Frog NBK -55', Grape picker 55' slider, Green Echip/green hammer - 450 Copper, MOONSHINE Carbon 14 - 75, silver raspberry Monarch 120' silver dipsy. The fish were all over the place. At one time we had a double on the coppers one running at 44' (200' copper) and the other at 99' (450' copper) both fish were steelheads. Go figure??? CC

Nice fish MICK & Aunt Chrissy!!!!

Nice fish -- you need a bigger cooler Dude!!!

The water off of Point Breeze is loaded with fish. We stuck inside for the big guys, the boats that went a mile or two north of us did very well. Just about every charter was back to the dock early with a box full. I am going to keep the narrative on this report short and let the picture do most of the “talkin’â€. We set up in 85 FOW right in front of port and took the first fish and the final fish at the exact same spot! Every lure we ran caught fish we circled from 80 fow to 115 fow from the pump house to the ladders on our 1 mile bungee cord!! Hot lures 42’ Spin Dr/MOONSHINE Carbon 14 Fly 150’ Dipsy Moonshine Carbon 14 Mag spoon - 350’ copper White/Green/glow Spin Dr. Pickled Moonshine Glow (GP) fly 85’ Stingray Gator 75’ Moonshine Purple Nurple 65’ Trying to get the guys trained on that super cool tail in hand fish hold. Maybe tomorrow!! CC

Don, You are welcome!! Keep at 'em. I would like to get into those browns!! CC

NICE!!!

Just Fishin' -- How long a lead are you running on the ball? If sliders are hot for you consider shortening your cannon ball leads to match the slider length. It is a win win 'cause not only may it entice bottom hits, but it also leaves less slack to recover on the slider hits. CC

Ok, but when the copper is out, you must not allow a tripped dipsy to "ride". Get it in and reset right away or you will catch your copper. CC

Tons of bait in 90-100 FOW. Found fish just outside of the bait in 115-150 FOW. Temp down 100' 54 degrees early 48 degrees at noon. Rainbows early, Kings showed up with the cold water. Here are the important details: Hot lures 42’ Spin Dr/MOONSHINE Carbon 14 Fly 270’ Dipsy, rigger 100’ White/Green/glow Spin Dr. Pickled Sunshine fly 250’ dipsy, 600’ copper Stingray Frog NBK (new design) 78’ and slider on same rigger Full narrative and details here: http://www.salmocharters.com/index_files/Page917.html CC

Yep that't big fish Tom.

Has anyone had any luck with the 19 strand wire? I know one guy that is having problems with it fraying/unraveling. Please chime in if you are using it and what you think of it, please include how many days you have had it in the water. Thanks, CC

20 years ago mono dipsys are all we ran and believe it or not we caught lots of fish on them. Use 30# and run them 200' out on a #2 setting and you will be in that 50' - 60' range. This past week the majority of fish this past weekend were taken in the top 50' from Sodus west. Don't worry about them spooling you if you get low on line stop them -- you are using 30# big game the fish will stop and come back to you if you thumb the reel. Not many fish in this lake that can snap good 30# big game after their first run!! First.....the line is very strong, second......a whole lot of strech when you have a whole spool out. CC

Ray, Did I give you a purple nurple ???????? cc

Go with the X-4 the other posts on this section of the forum should be enough to convince you of that. TIM -- there are guys on this forum looking for technical assistance with their coated cable units -- please assist!!! Couldn't resist Duane CC

GB, This time of year I would put a Moonshine Carbon 14 on that copper and if you feel you need to get deeper you would attach the dive bomb at the leader end of the copper (before the florocarbon). The spoons work expessely good late July and Early August and they will run deeper than flashers on copper. AND......the worst tangles are tangles when flashers are involved, until you are confident in your spread, I would run flashers on the riggers and spoons on the divers and copper. On the second day you wil know what you are doing and add the flashers OR.....if the flasher dipsy combo is hot, don't run copper wait till the bite slows then change it all over. HINT.....Do not let a released dipsy run behind the boat if you have a copper out........EVER.....even for 5 min, grab it and get it in!! CC PS. If you are using a bobber than you can disregard this enitre post!

Ray, How much will you charge me and when are you available? CC

You did say KINGS RIGHT? Moonshine Carbon 14 Moonshine Purple Nurple Straight up KING SPOONS!!! Best multi species spoons: NBK - yellow 42' spoon CC

Not sure, my probe works on all 5 of my riggers no prob. CC

RaY, WHERE IS THE ICE!!!?????????? Thanks for covering the buff when the sun came out YOU THE MAN CC

Fished back out to the 27N-29N, knowing that the fish would be in that stable water. Fishing was good both days 30' -70' down on riggers and 120' - 150' on divers and slide divers. Hot lures were gold mag 42 second spoon on the 150' slide diver on Friday and MOONSHINE Carbon 14 and Purple Nurple on Saturday (Purple Nurple is a flat lake sunshine lure!)
