other then stay home any pointers for lakers/ salmon
Oh heck no, I'd say your chances of catching lakers and salmon are significantly improved by not staying home.
I had good luck fishing lakers and salmon this weekend quite a bit west of Sebago with green and pearl spoons, trolled about 2.1mph at about 40 feet deep. We only kept a few of them but the ones we did were full of smelt, so anything smelt colored or patterned I would say would be a good choice.
