hi fishlessmen,
thanks for all your info on sebago. Had a great time and we are going to try to get back there next year for 2 weeks, it was great. I have a ? for you, in one of your posts you said the best advice you got was to paint your downrigger weights yellow, I did paint mine a solid yellow and i noticed a couple of guys at sebago had painted theirs flourecent yellow. would you recomend switching to flourecent? Thanks
Another ? for anyone. Has ANyone tried the glo spoons that they talk about on the ontario site. Kind of curious to see if they would work on winni or newfound? Thanks
If anyone is on sunnapee tomorrow forrey and i will be out on his boat(a blue polar cc) give us a shout on 12.
its a chartruese yellow, almost has a green hue and it is a flourescent. but any attractor color would work. ive seen green with gold eyes, orange with black spots, but i think the yellow flourescent is the most common ive seen. what depths did you pull the salmon out at last week, its slowed down a bit from where things were 3 weeks ago. im thinking to start targetting the lakers more until later in august. we had a real good day last year about the third week in august for the salmon, but didnt do as well at this time last year. maybe try some night fishing this weekend
all salmon were at 30 off the downriggers, i did not catch any thing off lead. For the most part i only had 2 lines in the water except friday when a freind came up and fished w/ me. most all hits were coming off 61 guns in a brown trout pattern.the guy that ownes the marina north of jordans caught a beauty 23.5" over 5 lbs. Nice people up at your neck of the woods!
I bought a whole slew of flutter spoon blanks (Stamina, they repackage spoons made by Worth) and a lot of different "super glow" heat and dip paints from a Canadian outfit on the web. I'm still perfecting this heat and dip process, but the finish is really good and durable with no tape or eyes to pop off. I've made a lot of versions of popular top-gun like lures in the super glow colors. I've only had a chance to test them on a small hydroelectric reservoir down here in NY, but they work. Two weeks ago I got three rainbows on different "glow" variations of the NH guide (two on a 1/2 glow-fluorescent orange / black dots, 1/2 copper, one on a glow-fluorescent yellow / black dots). Last weekend I got three nice smallies and a small but tasty brown trout on my glow version of the "wonderbread." I was typically fishing 20-40 ft on the riggers and leadcore, equal mix on riggers and lead. I imagine at the dark depths these colors really look tempting. I'm going to post pics soon, having problems with my digital camera.
do you have to leave yours in the sun to charge them up like the moonshine ones they talk about on the ontario site. i remember when we went on a charter out there the guide was using a flashlite to charge his
Yes. They say 10 min in a UV rich source. Sunlight is ideal. I'm thinking of rigging up a little box for 12V UV blacklight so I can charge and change out the lures for first light.
