    St Joe 9-20,21

    in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout

    Posted

    Went out on 9-20 sun up to sun down, and today from sun up until noon. I fished from 80-150 and only caught lakers. 120 was the only place I caught fish, and all were under 5 pounds. I had luck with glow dolphins and a coyote spoon. I couldn't even get a bump on flies/flashers. Caught about ten and most were so small they wouldn't trip the riggers.

    Help with dipsys and releases.

    Are you running the divers off of the triple tree?  If the angle is too high on the diver rod you'll have trouble getting separation.  Diver rod holders are usually best just above horizontal.

    No I placed them horizontal and put the dipsys out first before the riggers. I did let them out under the pressure with drag. I'm sure it was probably due to not having a driver while deploying the dipsys. The currents were pretty strong and turned me all over the place.

    That was my thought, if you're setting dipsey to left it should be running on port side.  Otherwise it may not be your dipsey.  Heavier rigger weights to reduce blowback may help and pancake weights will catch more of a crosscurrent than cannonballs or torpedoes.



    They were set at 2.5 left on the port side of the boat. I would post a picture but I took the boat apart already. I live in central Indiana and it's primarily my bass boat. It's a ranger vs 1780 with triple trees off the side and riggers directly behind them. The riggers are penn fathom master 625s.

    I am new to fishing the big lake. I went out today and caught three fish about five pounds each. Question...I bought cannon releases that work by pressure. On the second setting the lure will work its way out on its own. On the third setting none of the three fish tripped the release. Did I just get in that window where my release won't work? What is a good quality release that's reliable? Second I'm about to toss my magnum dipsys. Every time I attempted to use one it tangles around my rigger. I run the dipsy on 2.5 to the left and it still gets in to my rigger. I place the dipsy out first like I believe you are supposed to do. The only thing I can figure is that it's my poor driving, weaving like a drunk that's doing it. What should I do?

    New guy out of St. Joe Monday

    First off I'm new here and taking my first trip to the big lake Monday. I've fished it before but not on my own. Where should I start out (depth direction from harbor) I have the boat and gear to do whatever just need a little help from the pros. I don't care what I catch and would consider one fish this rookies victory. Thanks
