Spoon choices

[Brooger]

Hi guys. Hopefully someone is willing to share. I just bought myself a new boat. While I mainly fish walleye/bass i plan on trolling gbay and Huron for trout and salmon. I can figure out spots and depths etc for myself (part of the fun and satisfaction when it pays off) I was hoping someone could help me out with spoon/lure choices and what colours you guys might have success with.

I most fish Lake O but have fished Owen Sound a bit.

I have found more luck on bright spoons up there than the black and whites I do well on in Lake O.

I also find I have done better on the standard size spoons than I have on Mag sizes. I have one Moonshine that seems popular up there that is glow in the dark with a white background on the front with lime green dots on the white.

J Plugs are also good up there with white ladder back being a standard colour.

I hope this helps as a starting point as I don’t fish it all that often.

Any bit of info helps disco thank! Even the lake O info helps I’m originally from the gta and am planning a few lake O trips using mums house as home base for a weekend. Appreciate the reply!

I agree with Disco

when I used to fish up there with my


for us the gaudier the color seemed to work better then.


a lot of the spoons were michigan scorpians size

Ive been doing really well this year on Grippers (local spoon brand) new carbon series were on fire for me last Friday.

Moonshine carbon spoons work very well or anything green/white/black and Burnt bread spoon

TNT makes the Radioactive Frog and Kermit

Triple threat spoons make very nice patterns Sour apple, crazy eyes, pickleseed, midnight sea are the ones i just ordered

Hotfish and KromeSeeker both good spoons if you like to troll a little slower

Firebrand is making waves in the industry although i have not yet ran his stuff, good prices though.

Another local brand is T.H Spoons. I've caught fish on them.

I'll stop

Great, we’re in the midst of stocking up on the classic spoons and now I’ll have to seek the new ones too lol

That carbon 14 is a great lure........always have some with me and have modified a few

Awesome krawler thanks. I’ll have to search these out. I always heard boat stands for “bust out another thousand” and it’s pretty accurate so far ?

[Brooger]

Just added some of those gripper spoons to the arsenal. From my lurking any advice you give krawler seems to be well received….. thank you sir

A consistent Gripper including this morning was a pattern I designed for the owner. Its called Night Krawler. Took a big fish this morning close to 15 lbs and did well the other day on it. Seems to take a lot of fish at low light or overcast.
Night Moves Gripper was taking fish last night.
