solo salmon, gbay today

had to take advantage of the weather today the winds were light and the salmon were biting . went 3/4 today.

another

in the freezer

They were biting?....Now I feel really bad. I was fishing in the "hole"(west of Beausoleil Island today for 4 hours....nada.

Guess as a newby, I've got a lot to learn...lol.

Glad you got into then grampa.

i started in the hole marked a lot but nothing so i moved out. should have gone right to plan b.was that you in the red boat?

Hole can be great early and mid season. Study the winds a few days prior to fishing the Hole. You will soon realize a certain sustained wind direction will put fish in the hole on a regualr basis and be sure to go during low light hours, fish are more active and you avoid the inevitable boat traffic.
Nice outing Grandpa, i know where you were fishing

Hey Dan

Nicely done.

Ralph

Red boat, yup, that was me.

Thought I would get out early and try to salvage something from an unsuccessful trip to Bayfield Inlet.
Nest time, when fishing GB, I'll move around a lot more.

Lesson learned, thanks,

Cheers,

Nice fish Dan...did you get them behind that big rock out in the bay?

godd outing . congrats


I like the comments about paying attention to winds prior to going out as the same applies in Ontario

hey Kris you probably do know where i was . not the only boat catching that day around there.

hey Nick not that rock the other one

Was out in the hole yesterday afternoon for a few hours and nothing but a lighter gas tank...did mark a few fish but no takers...next time ill just scratch plan A off the list...lol
Happy fishing folks.

Hallo My Name is Konrad live in Midland for 40 years and enjoy fishing here. Now I dont have the know how like you. Just wonder if you would share some of your wisdom. I love salmon fishing but i don't have much luck catching them. Over the last years i did get some but with a lot of effort like trolling for 5 to 6 hrs at the time and many times i come home skunked. I use most of the time Lyman lures at the bottom and spoons for half way up as cheaters. would you mind to give me some ideas what i am doing wrong. Thanks Konrad

Ditch the Lymans. They work but mostly in August and Septmeber. I nomally dont put one down until the 2nd week of August. Stick with spoons. Use standard size spoons until early July then switch to Mag spoons but run a standard size spoon on your cheater at all times. Greens, blues, wonderbread patterns are standard colors in your spread. Moonshine spooms are great, run them 2.5-3mph. Once you start catchng fish and want to expermient more then start buying other brands and learn to switch your speeds based on the mood of the fish and the lures you are running. Once you gain some confidence you can start adding meat and flashers to your presentation. As for leads, cant go wrong with 75-100 ft behind your ball at most depths. I can go on and on but this should be enough to put fish in the boat on a regualr basis. Remember the devil is in the detail, especially on Gbay salmon
