redneck666 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) hey folks, heres my story: I went fishing a couple days in a row including last night. i watched a few people bring in some nice salmon (one was brought in on a spoon of some sort and i dont know the rest). one guy brought in a very nice walleye on a rapala (he was hoggin all the fish! lol). anyhow i was just wondering whats working for you shore fisherman in sault ste. marie on the st. mary's river, for 'eyes and salmon? i had my cell on me too, shoulda took a pic of that beautiful walleye. i've also tried a 2/5oz little cleo, a spawn sac with a hildabrant spinner, plain spawn sack and hook, glow in the dark and pink/white twister tails.

BillM Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 You should have no problems chucking spoons or even using giant skein chunks down there. That place is full of fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbo Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 1/3 oz Lil' Cleo...Silver/Chartruese for daylight..Glow-in-the-Dark for nights. Use a flashlight to charge it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Try throwing some jointed Rebel Fastracs in 5 of diamonds or some J-11's or 13's in orange or fire-tiger, or blue, they all work. They catch anything that swims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of roe skien i am sure its used with the float set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 with the salmon i'd recommend a combo of heavy cleos and buzzbombs for shore fishing...it's not the strong year for the pink salmon (they run stronger every 2nd year)...that's a shame because pinks are a little easier to catch than chinooks from shore... you could also try some larger sized rapalas/bombers... i spent a lot of time fishing walleye downtown... the key is finding the current breaks near points and backeddy's... suspending crankbaits like the husky jerk and x rap work very well...especially in clown, ghost colours.... do this after dark as in the evenings they come so shallow they are almost right at your feet sometimes. there are TONS of walleye downtown... when i used to go down there all the time 10-15 fish evenings were not uncommon.

redneck666 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 oh nice!..... with what?.... rapala? you think a shad rap rs in perch would work good?.... it dives a little deep though, im a little concerned about snags.... oh well if you wanna play you gotta pay!

Kinger Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 As mentioned before the hot patterns are glass and clown. A recent favorite is Blue with white belly and orange under the lip. They will hit jigs n' rubber when the crankbait bite is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Salmon. Marshmallow big hook. Feel something and reel like snot. If that doesn't work try a big weighted trebble hook. You don't even need bait for this one. lol! On a more serious note. I usually throw cleos. If you want to change it up and be different, try this. chrome and blue rattlin spot or rattlin rap. I know it sounds weird but I have caught several using them. I think the noise of the rattles bothers them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
