I tried some Lyman 2" and 4" plugs yesterday in Ontario central basin of Lake Erie. All I can say is wow!! These things catch Steely and Walleye.
Just 2 of us yesterday running 4 rods (2 riggers and 2 Chinook #3 high divers) went 14-16 on Bows and over 40 walleye (all before noon). Incredible day
Moonshine spoons certainly did some catching but Lyman's were very impressive, especially behind the diver with 6' lead.
I would say the 4" did a little better than the 2" but it was close. Huge walleye came on those 2".
We were trolling anywhere from 2.2 to 3.2 mph at the ball.
I had no idea on these lures until yesterday.
I do think the front treble hook on the 4" lure could be removed without changing the hook up success. We also put a split ring on the front to connect to swivel.
Just wanted to post because I'm sure these lures would be equally effective on Lake O.
Hoping someone can help me. I was at a show and someone from New York state area was making a trolling spoon that blinked with an LED light.
Anyone know who that is?
thanks
I told my wife this weekend, we are never missing Olcott NY during 4th of July week ever again. Lake Michigan (Michigan side) just does not compare this time of year.
Lake st clair is my home waters, I'm very fortunate. Fish it often, mostly on Canada side. actually, fishing tomorrow with 5 guys
I have hundreds of tuff Shads, Boss Shads, loke, ziggie, harvo baits, etc
Simply stated, I don't know how to buy Baker baits, other than seeing them on Ebay occasionally. I don't see a website, and I don't see them at team rhino, etc.
Blue Water Baits - 6" Musky Crank – Chautauqua Reel Outdoors (shopcrotackle.myshopify.com)
$12.00 BWB might be the best deal I have seen all year
I ordered 6 today
Got home safely (Michigan) yesterday. Had a great time all week. We met some wonderful people, ate more chicken wings than I can count, spent some time along the Niagra river being a tourist, and had calm seas almost the entire week.
We caught a variety of fish: Kings, Coho, Lakers, and Atlantics. Nothing huge, except for a few big Lakers. most up by the power plant to the east.
Mag Michigan Stinger spoon in Caddy Shack UV was far my best spoon.
I hope to get back Labor Day.
Tough fishing this am
went down to Wilson area
water was flat calm
2 for 3 is all we could get
decided to pick up and come in at 2pm
Lake O is humbling this Michigan boy quickly
Making the drive from Michigan to Olcott NY on Saturday. Excited for my 1st ever fishing trip to Lake Ontario!!
Any insite would be greatly appreciated on a good starting point for Kings.
Winds are looking favorable, which is awesome
thank you
