Yankee in Wilson May 6 & 8

[Yankee Troller]

My 6th:

Our clients this morning were a little late. We didn’t push off the dock until 7am. When we got to the fishing grounds it was crowded! We had a tough time finding a spot to set down in, but we eventually got far enough West and it opened up.

 

Our program today was strictly spoons. On our Cannon Downriggers we ran mags on the main lines and regular sized spoons on the free sliders. UV Mongolian Beef was our best spoon. Sea Sick Waddler was responsible for a few deaths as well. Our DW Deeper Divers were run out 200-225’ on a 2 setting with DW mags. Lazer Spook on one side and Martel on the other. As for the junk Lines. One board ran a pair of 10 color FishUSA Stealthcore rods while the other side ran a pair of 300’ A-TOM-MIK coppers. The copper was going well. Parked on those were DWs Gold 42nd and a Green/Glow mag.

 

Our big guy today was a 21lb Salmon which caused a lot of ruckus at the back of the boat. It was all caught on film! A buddy spent the day filming some content, so look forward to some great footage down the road.

 

 

May 8th:

Happy mother’s day to all the mothers out there. Dean and his crew from the East end of the Lake joined us to fish the LOC derby today. With the persistent NE wind the last few days we were greeted with icy blue water in front of the harbor, so we headed West to the Niagara bar.

 

We found a great bite on the bar, and water temps up to 46*. It was mostly a spoon bite for us. Our Cannon Downriggers were parked 50-100’ down. Divers were going 150’ out on a 2 setting, and 10 colors of FishUSA Stealthcore went very consistently. Top spoons were Dreamweaver UV Mongolian Beef, 42nd, Lazer Spook, and UV NBK. Later in the morning we put down some meat rigs and took a few fish on our deeper downriggers.

 

No Salmon were placed on the LOC leaderboard today, but we did put a big Lake Trout on it.
