Hot Weekend

[ucsports]

Fished just off the Maitland in Goderich again both Saturday and Sunday evenings. Stayed in 20-35 FOW. Wanted to cover as much water as possible to see if we could get our lures in front of more fish, so this was our spread.

Starboard downrigger - 18' down 50' back - Black & Purple Long A

Starboard dipsy size 0 Wonderbread - setting 3, 80' back - NK Orange Crush

Stern rod - flatline - CC Riplin Redfin - silver & blue

Port side rod - flatline - Jointed Canadian Wiggler - Silver

Landed 1 Chinook on the Canadian Wiggler Flatline

Lost 1 Chinook on the other flatline

No takers on the dipsy or downrigger.

I am surprised with this hot weather that this is happening. It doesn't make sense to me that they would hit a lure running closer to the surface than the deeper ones we were running. I'm still learning this game, so experiment I will.

The plan for tomorrow is 1 rod down 10', and 3 flatlines with Canadian Wigglers and Flatfish.

Here's a pic of one from the weekend

Nice fish Joe. When the fish are getting ready to run, they are less caring of water temp.

You have the right idea Joe....experimenting is the way to go. Sometimes it requires a lot of patience, but there is always something to be learned.

Be careful because just when you think you have them figured out....you find out YOU DONT:grin:
