Nice report Dave, sounds like you folks had a blast, especially Amber! I have fished Magog several times on the Canadian side and did very well with Winni tactics. We have yet to get a big Salmon there but plenty of small ones.
Fished Merrymeeting yesterday, all short salmon 9 colors and 38 feet on the rigger with a couple of bigger rainbows thrown in. Hot lures were the small copper mooselooks and mother of pearl white DB's. (love that lure...)
Fished a smaller trout/bass lake this morning with a mexed bag of small rainbows and browns. Bows at 5 colors and browns at 8-9 colors early with a couple off the rigger at about 40 feet. Hot lures were the TG Brown Trout and the NH Guide.
This year, thanks to tips gathered from this board, I have been using and have more confidence with the down rigger every time out. Noe experimenting with spinners off the ball, etc.
It is amazing what you can learn from this board...it's the best!
Good luck all,
Bob
While fishing up there we saw at least 20 - 30 boats all anchored in about 30' of water almost in a straight lines, some people looked like they were jigging others possibly just bottom fishing???? these boats are about 30 to 40 feet away from a drop off that goes anywhere from 125feet to 300 feet, Any guess's what they are fishing for? Didn't see anyone catch anything but still curious what they were fishing for? Do lakers come from that deep up to a 30foot shelf like that? Should have asked one of the boaters but some of them can be pretty rude up there Thanks Take Care God Bless and Tight Lines LOL Dave From up North
