What happened to taking from the Nipigon?

Jay

i believe the locals got fed up with the salmon association taking fish from their river. And voiced their disapproval.along with the local MNR. And the fact that the river is producing more natural fish than the hatchery.

Was out a few weekends ago at turtlehead. Fishing was bad, only lake trout. Covered a lot of water that day. Gonna get out again this weekend. How's things going out there for everyone?

Why do you think the board has been so slow.??? Fishing has been bad.

I was hoping for some better news than I had to offer.

Went to black bay on Monday, landed 5 salmon and 3 lake trout between 11 and 4. Lost a few others. All the salmon were 5-7 lbs. We were fishing 100+ FOW with lines 25-50ft. Northern king monkey pukes seemed to be the ticket.

I'll be fishing again pretty soon. Had to take a break for abit there. This year I don't fish in the day time no more. I go out in morning when it's still dark enough I have to use flash light to set up. Fish till about 9 or ten am. Or evening I'll go out after 6. I've spent way to much on gas over the last few years fishing them in daytime. Now it's morn and evening only. Anyway that's what I do.

Finally heading to black bay Saturday morning for my first time for salmon. Got the downriggers mounted and good to go. Should I buy flashers and use them or they not needed? Also, what do I use and how do I tie up a leader for the spoons?

So bad I could not even get the lakers to bite

Hey guys, any good spots for salmon in the area of Sturgeon Bay or south towards the border?

We at looking to go out this weekend and are hoping to land some salmon but don't want to make a hike all the way to Black Bay.

Thanks!!

[fishman1 164]

Launch at trout bay and drown some lures. Any shoreline.

There not much difference in mileage to go south towards the border or to black bay.

And far more fish in black bay.

Good luck

Black bay was a bust today. Not much action at all

[Guest fish9876]

Tried nipigon river the other day. Nothing. Still some time before they come in in any heavy numbers.

Tried the flats between the Welcomes and PI today. Nothing but Lakers However, my son and I did manage to achieve our personal best for our biggest lake trout with this beauty.

We had just enough time to grab a quick picture and weight before we let her swim back down to the deeper water.

[fisherdude 69]

That's a beauty

[Thefishleclair 175]

Nice

Laker!

[Guest Fishguyd]

What a beast! How much did it weigh?

[speckmaster 114]

Nice tank

[Junior 5]

My scale was bouncing around 33 lbs as the fish wasn't willing to stop shaking so lets be conservative and say around 30 lbs.

[tbayfinn 42]

Nothing but 2 fatty Siscowets on Black Bay yesterday. The Squaw Bay launch sure is a disaster when busy. One cuddy boat taking up most of the space at the main dock (if you can call it that) and commercial fisherman taking up the other. Time for somebody to invest some money both there and Silver Islet for some decent docks and parking. I guess that's what you get in an unorganized township though. Hopefully this National Marine Conservation Area designation will bring in some government money.....

Was camping near the border and after a couple of hours trolling I hooked into a beauty. I think it was a stocked fish, now that I see the picture.

[Jelly Belly 86]

Nice fish junior and pastor norm. Sunday evening went to Neys picked up 2 salmon Terrace Bay side by the rocks. 1 small and 1 at the fivish mark for weight. Monday went to Wawa we where lucky enough to get 4 biggest weighing 8 pounds.
