Didn't see your boat on Squam today. You made a wise choice going to Newfound. Fishing was very slow as it has been all year. No one at Deep Haven Sat. AM and only 4 boats in Sandwich. Got one small Salmon about 12 inches at 42 feet. Saw very few fish on the fish finder, although one almost jumped in the boat. Saw more fish in Deep haven.
Spoke to fisherman on two other boats and both had caught 3 small bass.
Saturday evening very slow. Three boats in deep Haven, and by 6:00 PM only myself.
Hope next year is better. See you on the ice.
Strange, we saw allot of fish at Kent and Sandwich and none at Deephaven, maybe they were Bass ????
A friend told me today that the Salmon fooled us all this year, they were in 2' to 10' of water the last few weekks for pre-spawn allready and we are all fishing deeper. Wish I knew that last week, LOL.
I'll have to make a note of that, when we can't see them on the fishfinder in September it could be like Spring conditions, they are shallow on the shoreline.
I don't ice fish, but might give it a try or vist some guys that do.
I have to agreee 100%%%% we are now officially known as the "3 Amigo's" and i wouldn't have it any other way Great Guys Great Friendships Doesn't get any better then that!!!!!!!!!! or as the commercial goes That's "Priceless" Is it April 1st yet UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Take Care God Bless and Yes you are coming Ice fishing with the other 2 Amigo's this winter LOL LOL Dave From up North
Big John -- that had been my guess -- salmon were in pre-spawn mode -- when people seemed to be catching nothing but lakers the last few weeks. Did anyone try trolling shallow and if so any results?
Just goes to show how much there is still to learn about these fish.
I tried shallow, but I didn't try along the shorelines as close as I probably should have, oh well. The'll be there next year and another 2 pounds bigger maybe, we didnt catch any 5 pounders in September, actually not many Salmon at all in September.
I'm hoping we can get more information from Adrien on age/size difference, etc. of Salmon Great Lakes Vs out Lakes. He brought out some interesrting facts that kind of back up my comments earlier about spawning age, etc.
I'm going to reply to hos post and see if we can get some real good facts and info on the subject.. But it does seems like 5 and 6 pounders are ready for harvest on our Lakes.
