n8tivebigguy Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 I am going on a week long fishing trip near Cornwall, well i'm going to rent a cabin across the border to fish the st lawrence. What i was wondering is what are good techniques for fishing deep water? Everything i have in my tackle box is shallow water gear as i usually just fish the Grandriver. Thanks for any info.
HTHM Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Dipsey divers and long billed baits come to mind for me. Assuming you're in a boat capable of trolling.
Uncle Buck Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 what are you gonna fish for? musky? carp? ???
n8tivebigguy Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Posted July 20, 2011 I fished there the past few summers for bass in the shallows but i'm interested in trying for musky/pike and some walleye this time around.
mike rousseau Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I fished there the past few summers for bass in the shallows but i'm interested in trying for musky/pike and some walleye this time around. for walleye weedlines are between 12-15 feet deep... so if your trolling... thats close to your target depth. i would stay in 17-19 feet... most deep diver cranks will work here... rock piles are all different depths so thats your call... i would look for ones that come to 20 feet or shalower and troll over them... unless they come shallower than 15 feet... then troll the sides you can also drift any of these areas or deep chanels... 60+ with bouncers and harnesses Edited July 20, 2011 by Musky Mike
