Well my 2nd time out on sebago this year and my 2nd SKUNK!!! What the heck?? tried mooslooks ,couple other spoons , smelts ,shiners. Could only get the boat down to 1.3 slowest tried different speeds Fished 30'---- to ----- 110 feet . I did read a few fish on the finder I only had i hit towards nasons .... Went back and forth between nasons to muddy river to songo used mono floro on troll rod and fly rod with lead core What am i doing wrong ..
Your fourth sentence says it all Tony. 1.3 mph won't cut it for using smelts. Need to go slower. Right now on Sebago, if you can fish with someone else who has a boat that trolls below 1.0 mph, you can catch lots of fish anywhere's from the surface down to 3 colors of lead line. Just off the last buoy and to the right is holding lots of fish, that's why some people are plugging right there. Hope this helps. Good luck.
tc- tie a couple of five gallon buckets with some holes in the bottom off the stern and drag behind it will slow ya down considerably make sure your smelts are running true not all over the place if using mooslick or similar try blue
Had 2 out may have to try 4 OR install a trolling plate i have kicking around
TC - I let MG39 talk me into drilling 4 holes in my new Yammie 90 I can get down to .7 - .8 at idle now.
Guess i may have to get the drill out ! Cant hurt
Well actually the first hole is quite painful but then after that you'll be like "what the heck!"
