pastor norm 125 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 had a great day on Superior on Monday. Saw lots of baitfish with the new sonar and caught some healthy, frisky, chunky... salmon. How' it been out there? any lures been particularly effective? or is this a dumb question ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted June 27, 2013 I'm hoping to go out this week. I don't have a downrigger. I am hoping dipsy divers and 3 way rigs will get me down enough. Glad to hear your into some fish, keep it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
filletandrelease 17 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Northern king nk 28 in orange monkey puke has been the hot lure for me this year and most other years for that matter. Average fish has been around 5 lb with a couple pushing 8 lb. I haven't run dipsey's in almost 2 weeks but so far they haven't produced at all for me this year. I'd recommend bringing a leadcore rod or using snap weights or torpedo divers or at least a long leader off your diver in case the fish are still being spooked by the dipsey. Most fish have been coming from 15 to 25' down. The bite certainly is on the last few trips have had quick limit catches. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyle Reiner 174 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 I havent done enough salmon fishing, only ever been out on the big lake once. I think after AYA and SSS I may purchase a down rigger and setup. I would love to lace into one or two! Quote Prostaff For Lowrance Canada Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pastor norm 125 Report post Posted June 29, 2013 Launched at Silver Islet. I've paid twice there so far though it didn't look like the launch was well maintained. The ramp is a little off level too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted July 6, 2013 How far out were you? I'm assuming out past Mary island. Just wondering what depth of water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pastor norm 125 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 was out on Thursday ... Silver Islet... 4 salmon landed (3-6 lbs) .....one more lost at the engine.. and numerous lakers. 30-40 feet down on the downrigger ... Then the wind kicked in and we called it a day. Blue and silver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AB 98 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 was out on Thursday ... Silver Islet... 4 salmon landed (3-6 lbs) .....one more lost at the engine.. and numerous lakers. 30-40 feet down on the downrigger ... Then the wind kicked in and we called it a day. Blue and silver. 30 to 40ft down? Wow what a difference location makes! I picked off a mess of fish in Black Bay on Sunday evening / Monday morning and the 'riggers were never set deeper then 18 ft. Colour didn't seem to matter to the fish. iceman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pastor norm 125 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 yeah... the salmon don't care about depth... .... it depends on the bait they are chasing. We marked big bait balls 40 - 50 feet down... and that's where we picked up our fish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
