Think about going to West Sister in the morning, with the mayfly hatch going on what bait should I run, crawler harness or Bandits
I was out today and flicker minnows did the best for us. We were fishing 18 to 24 fow 35 to 50 back.
Thank you I don’t have them but I think they are similar to bandits
I would run both harnesses and bandits.Not sure if you have dipseys or inline boards.But if I was trolling with 6 rods I would use double willow harnesses on all four dipseys.On 3 setting would start them on 70 and 75.On one setting other two would have them at 55 and 50.Use antifreeze color and purple/pink blades if got them.On the inline boards would run the bandits at 50/2oz sinker then 75 and 100 more for total of 125 and 150.Put blue chrome color on one if got it.Speed should be 2.2-2.5 mph.With dipseys move one up 5 and one down 5 every 20min till start catching.Seams the keepers are deeper.Make some sweeping S turns to figure out speed.Good luck.
Thanks to both of you sounds like a very good advice I’ll see how it works this morning thank you
Fishing tomorrow will use your advice .Thanks
My buddy fished Tuesday east of Kellies Without me.I told him pretty much the same setup for his rods but used 4 boards and only 2 dipseys due to more familiarity with inline boards.He caught 6 keepers,mostly on the dipseys on 3 setting with 90 lead.The water he was fishing in was 45-50 fow so deeper than water out by west sister which is around 32fow.Boards with bandits only caught 1.Let us know how you did today.Had nice conditions to fish this morning.
I ran spoons between south bass and kelly today. 2.7 mph jets at 65. Two of us caught 22 walleye but only 7 nice keepers in 3.5 hours
