Downrigger Ball Trolling Depth Chart
on the lam replied to Smart Troll's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Distance from your ducer to the DR ball is the depth your reading.. not the actual depth of the ball. My ducer is mounted mid ship. On low frequency will 100 ' of cable out my actual depth is about ten feet shallower that stated on my 585... I adjust in my mind accordingly. Thats why I believe running a split screen is helpful. If I see fish on both sides.. I suspect they are clost to depth im reading because the narrow hi frequency is seeing them. If only on low frequency side definitely not under the boat and up to ten or more feet different from numbers shown on screen. . If your transom mounted you numbers will be closer to actual but not exact. Phew. My head hurts -

Silver Fox was joking ... I was just trying to shed some light on the color spectrum, and light penetration. suggesting using reds and orange down 60-75 ft. If you apply the scientific theory, reds and oranges are black at those depths... so if they are hitting reds at 75 ft., all the better, but they aren't seeing red like in the top 20'... just food for thought........ -

I guess u r not a proponent of the Roy G. Biv approach to color presentation? -
I do no believe u will get 5 or 6' feet per color... probably more like 4 imo.. and alot of "depth" experts will tell you leadcore flattens out after ten colors or so.. so if thats true blow the dust off ur coppers... 200 n 300 coppers are my favorite on the boat.. easy to use,,, church boards of big boards,,, trout or salmon.. so versatile,,, jusy my opinion.. good luck.

East is least for sure.. but if you do fish it, cover as much of the water column as you can and then cover/troll as much water as you can.... no real secrets here... bring alot of beer and listen to the Warren Haynes channel on Pandora ...........

Trolled all day with no fish
on the lam replied to j_hudson's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Don't use peanuts on Lake george... skulpin/darters are not a frimary forage bait there Trailer up to Bolton Landing... Launch at Norowal marina. head into Northwest Bay (straight north) and fish in front of indian creek and south to Bell point. Fish the top ten/fifteen feet with sticks and small spoons (suttons/stingers) off boards if you could. Lakers are preying on smelt that are spawning in that creek (or any other small creek on the lake). Stop at the Outdoorsman sport shop on the way north (diamont point) Gary will hook you up (btw smelt are illegal to possess on LG) so forget live bait. good luck -
spring browns are ferocious eaters and will hit most anything that is properly presented... with that said size more that color has a bigger impact on success, and size can change day to day depending on the forage that is availible. IMO so break out the wallet and stock up!!!

Nice job Rob!! -
you can rig the inline to releaese and then you can half hitch a rubber band on the main line then through the rear of the board so it wont slip. then release the board at the boat leaving the rubber band on the line. reattach in the same place when you redeploy.

Stay in Oswego, if you get a blow off at least you can still fish the harbor, which is very productine this time of year. http://www.qualityinn.com/hotel-oswego-new_york-NY613 No knock on Screwy Louies... I stay there myself when im in FH working on my boat. Branden is a class act.

Al, you can be sure your position at the top won't be threatened,,, you guys are pro's!! LOL Rascal, I mean Hank!! I will hame more time for sure. Thanks again to all you guys, Stop by "Club Red" and say hi. BTW.... Red Dock has a reputation for good times and that is well deserved. Good people, great times, a small community for sure. But when its time to fish, and when there is money and stiff compitition on the line its all business for sure. Its a great combination i must say!!

spring brown trout
on the lam replied to ironanglerx2's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
All the info is good as it gets in terms of spoon n stick selection. But I believe the most important thing is matching size more than color. Spring browns are ravenous but tend to get hung up on certain size baits. Size matters! IMO Sent from my SCH-I535 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
