Did some major harm to em again this morning down by the fountain, on spoons, they seemed fond of pink and white pearl. Limit in....................20min.:D Caution!! The man is out checking!

[sweatyspartan]

when you run the spoons, do you have to change your set up at all for handlining? Also, what types of spoons do you use? Thanks for the help

[huntingmaniac45]

Run the little Rays spoons you can get them from Lakeside, they are lighter then regular spoons and thinner metal. I run 3 leads 40-20 and5, 5 on the bottom, then 20, then 40, I run them lower then when I am running Raps, and troll faster. Good luck.

That's the good thing about the HL spoons they're CHEAP so you can get all kinds of color combos.
I run 5-15-30 with most (90%) of my fish coming on the 5 & 15 this year.

[SuperHunter18]

Do you guys run the spoons during the day and body baits at night?

Also, we are gonna head out tonight and give it a go but all I have is pencil plugs. Is anyone getting them on plugs or is it strictly a rap bite?

Will report in the AM

Tight Lines!

I ran both at the same time yesterday, spoon on the 30ft, and #9 on the 15 foot, even 3/3 split on the fish, but I did put a smaller fish back that came on the spoon, so 4/3 spoon won.

Superhunter, run the pencil plugs, if thats all you have, the way they are biteing right now, I dont think you should have a problem, good luck and let us know how you did.

[SuperHunter18]

Big mix up last night and we didn't end up going. We are gonna try and make it out Thursday night instead now.

[sweatyspartan]

thanks for the info on the spoons. I was supposed to go out yesterday with Superhunter...now we wait until Thursday

[Wall-llard Willie]

I usually use spoons in the day and raps/pplugs/crankbaits/rabble rousers at night.

There is a fountain we have been getting them good is on the Canadian side of Belle Isle, the cow pasture. My dad and 5 buds went this morning and they got 36 keepers between them. Me dad and BTMAN got 16 yesterday, check out my post with pics. seeya and tightlinesyall

[SuperHunter18]

Did you see anybody fishing the American side? My buddy doesn't have a canadian liscense so we have to stay on this side.

Tight Lines!

[CASTMASTER 5000]

You guys are killing me!!!! Those two weeks of rain put me so far behind that I"ve been working from sunup to sundown. I can't even get out this weekend cause I'm the best man at my best friends wedding. Probably won't get out for another week.:banghead3

[huntingmaniac45]

Hey Derek, dont worry I will leave a few fish for ya:D You have to make the money when you can so you can play ouit on the water. Houghton Laker, it was good to meet you finaly, hope to see more of you in the future, its always nice to put a face with a name. As predicted, put the smack down on them again, by the fountain, was back at the dock before I had my second cup of coffee,(drank the first one on the way out), takes longer to drive over there then it does to get the limits:evilsmile Same colors, same location, same time. See you all on the water.
Jim

[Houghton laker]

I will be back out again...same time...same station...tomorrow morning....Gluttin for punishment!!:lol: Great to meet you also Jim!! What a great location we have!! I'm already to give him my $$ for next year to lock in the well!!:lol: I believe Hotwired is moving in for next year also.....we will have a mean fishing crew in Gus's for sure...led by the master....Charlie brown!! He dropped of some homemade spoons to me this morning out at the Fountain!! Can't beat that!;)

[huntingmaniac45]

Yes, it is a awsome spot, I have been there for about 10 years now, for most of those years I was the only one there, when gus's wife died a few years back he didnt have anyone but myself there. Its good to have more guys. I think this is Charlie Brown's second year its always good to see him. Hope hotwired gets a spot next year, man, those walleye will be in trouble:lol: Dont worry about locking it in for next year, Gus is a great guy, you will get dibs before any new guy will. Got some work to do tommorrow so I wont make it out, will be out Fri. but I may have to take my girlfriends 6 year old son, he keeps begging me, so I may have to go find some panfish. See ya later.

Question, can you fish the opposite side of Belle Isle from St. Jeans and still be in American water?

[whitewolf73]

a canadien license is only $20 canadien for the year, 30 if you want the sportman one (keep more fish). Just let you all know. If your looking for a quick place in windsor to get one, west from the bridge on wyndotte, when it ends, turn right on Mill. Follow to the lights (sandwich street) On the corner, Wally's baits. Most of you all prob know the place, but hey, i'm bored.

[huntingmaniac45]

Superhunter.............yes, but stay in tight to Belle Isle, you wont win an argument with the MNR.

[SuperHunter18]

Thanks! I finally found a map that shows the border and it is pretty tight on that side. Do you think there are any fish in that tight? We have been beating the other side of Belle isle to the bridge and there don't seem to be anymore fish over there except for the ocassioanl one or two.

I guess we'll have to go over there and the two of us that do have canadaian liscenses will try and get a few and then head back over to the American side and try and find something for the guys that dont:lol: .

Thanks for the heads up! We will be launching at St. Jeans tomorrow AM early. We are the crazys with the boat and no trailer, but hey, thats what truck beds are for.

Tight lines.

[huntingmaniac45]

If you have to fish the US side, I would try, the U.S. side of Peche Island, from the range light at the mouth of the river down to Belle Isle, fish deep for them.
