Fishbum 35 Report post Posted August 14, 2013 We have been thinking about heading out to black bay or silver islet this weekend... anybody been out there lately? or any reports on how the fishing has been? Im guessing the water temps might have dropped a little in the past two weks with the cool nights eh ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishman1 164 Report post Posted August 15, 2013 My understanding from talking to a few guys that have been to b.b is that they are averaging2-3. Fish per boat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayfishin 63 Report post Posted August 15, 2013 Salmon starting to get caught in Nipigon River, was there last sunday. I am going to try TBay harbour tomorrow evening. Maybe try closer to Kam to see if some chinooks are staging.Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pastor norm 125 Report post Posted August 21, 2013 The point of this thread was to keep abreast of salmon fishing in the Thunder Bay ... it suddenly got quiet. My sources tell me that there are salmon to be caught out from the breakwall. So the bite is on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crooksyredboat Report post Posted August 22, 2013 Small salmon caught off Mary island, my buddy caught an 9 lber in front of Mackenzie in 130 fow during our mini derby last weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McGinnis_Fishing 49 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 Was out at black bay today. Caught 5 salmon from 3-4 pounds. Missed another the same size and 1 laker the same size. Trolled around from 3-7. All fish came from the riggers set at 30-35 fow but most were caught on the cheater line half way up. Most productive colour was a watermelon type colour. Water temp was huge! 55-57 degrees on surface and we caught salmon. We got the 1 laker in about 52 degrees but thats it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoUseForAName_GW 18 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 Pulled my boat out of the lake tonight, had it in the water for about 3 weeks at my camp near wild goose. Only fished the break wall for about an hour, got one about 3lbs and lost another a bit bigger. Marked lots of fish and bait right in front of the current river slip. Things are starting to pick up. Both hit on the slider, an orange monkey puke. Ball was set at 30 feet. Quote Gavin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoUseForAName_GW 18 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 Is there a chance in hooking into one if i dont have a down rigger this year for sure, dipsy divers will get you down far enough to get near the fish. Quote Gavin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsambray 172 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 Might have to give it a try. If its not windy since my boat is only a 15.5 foot but narrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pastor norm 125 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 um... I got a broken spring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsambray 172 Report post Posted August 23, 2013 Itsa cheap fix. If there old its better to do both. If its leaf style go to tractor trailer for the parts they have been good to deal with and cheaper if u do the work yourself. When i did mine i bought new springs u bolts and spring bolts. Should be less than 200 if you do both sides. More if u get a shop to do it cause labour rates. Ive been doing lots at work lately Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gsambray 172 Report post Posted August 23, 2013 I said tractor trailer cause thays were the shop i work at deals with. I guys its a bit of a discount for me then. But if parts are cheaper at fort garry then ill have to start checking them too. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AB 98 Report post Posted August 24, 2013 Chinook luck is waning, but the Coho action is picking up south of town! Strap on the small red spoons and watch for fish cartwheeling behind the boat!Tight Lines!iceman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pastor norm 125 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 now that the trailer is fixed, I'm game to try... what's the best bet? I'm guessing a morning out from the breakwall to the welcomes...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thefisher 39 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 The salmon fishing has been best all year the past two weeks. Flashers with a fly have worked the best. Even got a surprise steelhead!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mykiss 28 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Nice steelhead.......green tailing glove looks like a NSSA issue !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefisher 39 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks!!! Yes that gloved was passed on to me from Terry a bunch of years ago lol! The steelhead looked to be clipped but no tag? Maybe a Portage fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mykiss 28 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Certainly looks like a Black Bay steelhead....all Portage Creek steelhead are tagged as you are probably aware...there is however a annual tag loss of around 20 % ......so it could have been from Portage.....difficult to see a clip from the picture.....wish I could catch a steelhead like the one you are holding.
