Fair Haven 6-8 SLOW

[bout time]

Fished from 530am - 12:30 today. Started in 50 FOW and worked out to 400. Only bait and fish I saw were in 70-80 range. My only hit of the day came on a dispsy set on 1 out 210 over 160 FOW. It was gone before I got to the rod. I worked NW out then east towards moon beach and back in. Ran flat lines, short riggers deep riggers, wire dipsies, even tried 300 and 450 coppers. I'm going give it another try in the morning

Let's hope it picks up soon!

I'd try fishing the deep marks. I'd run spoons in a 28 size, since there have been many reports of 3-4" alewifes in their stomachs. Maybe try a seasick waddlers, black/green glow NK's, black raspberry NK's, ...

Thanks! We are staying at screw Louis tonight. Come over later for a beer and a bs session. Cabin 2

[Finders Keepers]

Would love to, but I dedicated this weekend to working around the house before we start hitting the Big O every weekend starting next Saturday. If you're going to be around next Sat, we will be at Screwy Louie's from 1-5pm with our tournament rig answering any questions anyone has on salmon fishing.

Ok. Any tips for first thing in the morning? We are new to trying to catch fish in deeper water. We have great luck when browns are shallow.

We are in cabin one headed out early in the AM.

Try the delmonico steak across the street at O'Connor s. Chase it with a Shocktop!!

We are eating deer steak!!

Sorry, just saw the post this morning. We have done well on a glow wonderbread echip or spin doc followed by a blue glow hammer fly. Seasick waddlers or Stinger Green Penguins have also been top producers in the morning.

[Barndog]

Took a nice steelhead first thing in FOW 25 down diehard stinger. Screen looked great in there. Moved out to 120 now.

Sunday I pushed west towards Port Bay and worked water from 100-150 range. Ran 2 riggers @ 60 and 90 with free sliders - all spoons, 2 dipseys running flaher fly rigs @ 185-290, and one high dipsy pulling a spoon at 140 on a 3 seeting. also ran a 3 color core pulling a spoon. fished from 630-10am. never moved a single rod again. i did notice more bait and had some decent marks all in my presentation range but couldnt get them to go. i varied speed from 1.8 - 2.3 to try to get them to fire.

[Finders Keepers]

You may want to try a faster troll - often times we are moving 2.5-2.7 down speed on the probe.

[Tim Bromund]

which probe do you have?  It makes a difference as to what your downspeed should be.

im using depth raider. I have always done well between 2.1 - 2.3 with it. I used to have a cannon and best donwspeed with that was 2.4 plus

[Tim Bromund]

OK, I'm using a Depth Raider also and my good down speed is also typically 1.8-2.3.  The reason I asked was the Fish Hawk typically reads about a 1/2 mile faster at the same speed than the Subtroll/Depth Raider, so depending on the unit you are using, Finders Keepers' advice on 2.5 - 2.7 may or may not have been applicable.  Those sound like typical F H downspeeds.

Its just me. I historically have a tough time every June. Its the transition period for FH. Usually 1st week of Ju?ly things start. Browns are around to be caught now but I always look at it as a way to improve my game and learn new techniques by targeting salmon and steelies this time of year

[Tim Bromund]

It's not just you, The June transition sucks for everyone.  I really don't even bother fishing in June anymore, it's not worth burning the gas for the most part. 

 

I might sneak out  at some point the weekend of the 22nd to see if the lake has set up around Olcott yet, but I'm not going to waste a lot of time or gas searching for them.
