Nice! I went out Saturday at Cowbanks, 5:30 AM until 10AM fished the trench west side of Cedar and went 5/5 on shaker salmon, all hit silver/pink spoon on 5-6 colors of lead core, no fleas and minor grass. Not a single fish off the downrigger, 72F surface, 2.45-2.70MPH Got off the water before the z...

Yes indeed! The mono I was using is 15#, thought it would be good to go but the fleas are thick.
Fleas and extreme low water near launch and I guess I'll be heading to other spots from this point forward.

Saw what looked similar on my Garmin on Saturday in Shelburne bay in several locations, 30-50 foot depth & thought it was large boulders...

I launched out of Shelburne Saturday morning and the water level is so low there's only 6" to 1' of water right after the launch area in some spots, had to pull motor up and slog thru the shallow spot until finding it about a foot deep for a few yards then is starts dropping off. Decided to run...

Yes indeed, and with westerly prevailing winds at both Vantine's & Van Everest you'd think they'd understand this is important enough to put docks in.

Wish that launch they'd put in a floating dock, it's a hard one to deal with going solo with prevailing winds pushing the hull right back up on the concrete...ugh!

Sounds good thanks everyone will give it a go

Gonna get the boat in the water this weekend and curious if anyone catching salmon in keelers still

TIA for any info.

Wow, bet it literally flies...if it has a prop.
Probably would sink at the launch with that motor being a black anchor though...
Think the driver needs help, looks a little bony.

Agree, you don't need to invest in a 2nd mortgage to enjoy cold water trolling...I for one have a simple very old 14' aluminum with a 2-stroke equipped with a trolling motor and 1 manual downrigger setup for 2 poles and use the other side with a lead core rig & can run a dipsy too so 4 lines out...

it is low, and will be very windy tomorrow

Very cool!

Hope they will start collecting and stocking Lamoille too.
