View Full Version : Salmon on the surface
Flaptail 11-23-2004, 09:37 AM Whilst I and Stifftip (aka Dave LaPorte) were mini rigger trolling Sunday morning at an undisclosed Cape Cod trout pond we were amazed at the size of the Salmon we saw acclimating still on the Surface. Some of these guppies looked near 15 to 20 pounds. Gulping air and finning. At one point later in the morning we saw a group of ten at least all up crossing the pond. Gonna be some great fishing on first ice if we get it this year.:D

fishweewee 11-23-2004, 04:49 PM wee wee wanna go sea run brown trout fishing on the cape this winter
Canalratt1 11-23-2004, 04:56 PM Wee wee have not gone for many years but have got a few, best bet is bait (shrimp, chubs or worms). The bite is frustrateing but you can also get brookies , bows, flounder, stripers, eels, sculpins, white perch no more cohos around.

flap, was you in my massive backyard of ponds (NSP), or were you down your way.... time to fill the smoker......:drool:
Stocked Brood fish ?
When they get too big they really don't breed as well in captivity, so they release them with the "stockies"..
Buddy of mine got 2 a couple of seasons ago both were 16-20 lbs.
pete santini 11-24-2004, 09:55 PM horn pond in woburn gotta slug of 50 salmon they get them in the cove across from the pumphouse jigging with a kastmaster or pimple or with a shiner best to fish no more than 3 feet under ice. Honestly they don't taste that great they fight nice though Best way to get them open water is to drift with shiners or troll small rapalas or grey ghost streamers Thats what works for me
Flaptail 11-25-2004, 06:32 AM Karl, it was down my way but for the last two years nsp has given me the best fishing ( 3 in one day last year with a ten pounder given to Bassmaster on the way home for his din din). I troll two Big Jon Mini downriggers with 4 pound balls. ( no wise cracks). I use five and a half foot ultralights with six pound Fireline to a swivel then four feet of six pound Seaguar Fluorocarbon, I snell a size 8 Gamakatzu octopus two inches ahead of a size twelve treble onto which goes a live medium shiner, the size 8 Gami goes thru a nostril and the treble up hi anal vent. (ouch) I troll those down 6 to 12 feet for salmon and 10 to 35 feet down for trout depending on the time of day.
Ice fishing I use tip ups spooled with 18 pound test squidding line to a swivel then 8 feet of the six pound fluoro and a single size 8 Gami Octopus. Medium shiners hooked in the back dorsal down no more than six feet under the ice. I carry a samll specially made ice gaff for getting the bigger ones outa the hole. 99% go back in after landing. Me and Stiffy, LaFleur and Doc Crago got 12 and dropped sevral more in two days at NSP a couple years ago.:D
