GbayGiant Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Do you self a favor and pic up the 8" salmo skinner in shiner pattern these have great action for a plastic lure, the fish seem to love them too. The first time out with this lure I picked up a 29" walleye and a 41" pike and tonight a 51" muskie, versatile lure. I was trolling 3 mph along a sand/rock break line in 14' with the lucky salmo and picked up my first musky of the year before the storm front blew in. She swallowed the lure deep but I managed to get all hooks out with little effort or stress on the fish, revived her for a bit to see her swim away.

2 tone z71 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 not much Girth to him John, feed them skis down there will ya lol,nice fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 She was actually pretty fat (fatter than the pic lets on anyway,lol), my pics always come out like that long snake style, must be the angle I hold them or something, it's funny how the same fish can look twice as big in a different angle but she'll definitely be much fatter come October, I'll keep feeding them these salmos hopfully .

Greencoachdog Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Great report and nice fish!!! I looked at those Salmo Skinners and they don't give a length, just a size... I'm guessing the 8" is the #20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks GCD, yep the 20 centimeter they call it, it's about 8 and a quarter inch in your hand, you can jerk'em, twichem and troll them. I'm a big fan now usually I like wood lures but these have some crazy side to side wobble action, probably would work good on lot's of saltwater fish too.

Basscat Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I agree I love how slow you can work the bait as it is almost neutraly bouyant small twitches you can hang it longer in the strick zone. Mine has enough fish caught on it to earn a spot in the confidence box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
