I head out for some summer salmon and trout action out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my buddy Tristan. The flasher fly bite was awesome before the wind and waves were a little too much for our liking.

The “secret weapon” is effective in super clear water because it gets the spoon below the path of disturbed water trailing directly behind the cannonball.

That was a really great video, You guys were putting in some pretty good work in a tiller boat in that weather!

I’m watching this and I hope this is me in the coming weeks. Watching all the Russell tech fishing I can, picking up some standby flasher flies, maybe a mix of spoons for coho or early kings with a 3-4 rod setup depending if I’m solo, likely dipsy and and pump handles setups. Will be my first time trolling, first time trolling salmon, first time fishing Lake Michigan. So when I see a guy a little newer to the sport, not as seasoned as some others, similar setups and same flashers I first purchased, throwing shout outs to “my guy” Russell tech fishing (WHO I don’t know btw lol) makes me think, hope I can have success too. Great job! New to your channel, am now a subscriber

I'm new to your chanel and really like all your videos I have seen so far. I just moved to Sheboygan not to long ago. I can't wait to hit the water with this spring. Great job with your camera work and the explanation of all your takel step-ups. Let me know if your in the Sheboygan area. Oh yeah I'm from Madison : )

Love this video! Lake MI was my home town lake growing up and this video brings back some great memories, thanks for sharing! Awesome catch too!!!! One old timer who fished the big pond a lot said that for some reason he believes that once that fly is in a fishes mouth, it becomes more attractive. He said if you catch one and keep it to eat, to put other flies in its mouth for a while. Must have to do with scent being on it or something. Russell is a great guy!!!!!!

I'm starting to see that pattern too with a hot leader! Russell's videos have for sure made me a much better fisherman when it comes to trout and salmon

Enjoyed your video and suggestions. How big is the boat you are fishing out of and size of motor?

@MadisonAngling 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much! That boat was an 19 foot tiller with a 75hp Mercury 4 stroke. I have since upgraded to a Ranger 620 with a 250hp mercury

Nice video, What are the track adapters you’re using for the rod holder bases?

@MadisonAngling 2 жыл бұрын

They are traxstech A-600 adapter plates. They work with most rod holders and fit in any track system! Great way to keep your Scotty style holders when you switch to tracks

@@MadisonAngling thanks, I have just little 6” section tracks on my boat at the moment for rod trees, the Scotty holders seem to be holding up on the dipsy divers

Love your hybrid down rigger set up. What pound main line do you run to attach to the leadcore? I fish walleye over trees on the Missouri River and was thinking 20-30 lb mono main line to 18lb lead core to 10lb fluorocarbon . Generally down 35ft of water. Love your channel

@MadisonAngling Жыл бұрын

Thanks Bob! For the salmon I run 25lb mono main line to a couple colors worth of 27lb leadcore (since we're using bigger stuff - flashers, dodgers, ect), to a 25lb mono leader on the downriggers.

@bobosterday3350 Жыл бұрын

Do you think it would work for me to use 30lb braid as my main line? I use the Scotty Mini Down Rigger release. I’m thinking 30lb braid to two colors of lead to a 10lb fluorocarbon with a 1/2 ounce swim bait! My thinking is if I get hung up in the trees my setup will break at the fluorocarbon! What do you think?

I use medium light rods, Akuma blue diamond, and I use the Okuma Coldwater 20 series real my entire life run the 20 series. I’ve never lost a fish because the real size it does just a good job is a lot funner because it’s more like gear and all that leg core wire that stuff they just sell you because I know you buy at the gimmick I’ve been using just downrigger‘s in normal street up Big Jay mainline and suffix 25 pound Flora carbon lead I get all kinds of Fish.
