jackpinesavage Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I've been fishing the great lakes for quiet a while usually near shore, Finally was able to talk the wife into a big boat. I purchased a nice clean 21' cuddy with most of the Equipment, down riggers planner boards some rods. so the question is what spoons and plugs and rapala's should i purchase to start my big water adventures? Chasing trout and salmon usually in lake Superior near Marquette and lake Michigan near Escanaba. Thanks
budwinn42 Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Blue dolphin, bloody nose, uv veggie. Monkey puke, double orange crush, glow frog, pink panty dropper, wonderbread, green dolphin. Those are a few of my favorite spoons. Get yourself some Luhr jehnson size 0 dodgers, and pulls spin n glows behind them with about a 24 inch leader to the spin n glow. In the spring I like to run shallow diving cranks, jointed or not, either blue, or orange. J plugs I really like a silver with a bloody nose with a rattle, wonderbread, glow plugs, anything purple. I also run a lot of storm thin fins for coho in the spring, and early summer. I prefer the thin fin 6, but the thin fin 8 will catch fish too. It’s very much dependent upon the day, and the light conditions, all that crap lol. But those are a few favorites of mine just to start with, and you’ll find your favorites the more you fish. Congrats on the boat btw.Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman 1

FBD Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 No one told him to buy three of everything, so if one gets hot you can load up?
Dr Hook Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 In my experience, the hot lure is usually the one you only have one of guaranteeing you’ll lose it next trip outSent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman
