Looking to enter the friends of fishing winter rebellion lake michigan fishing tournament this weekend with a couple friends. Ive never caught salmon or steelhead and have a few questions.
I plan on bringing 3 rod and reel combos. 2x 7' MH slip bobber rigs and one long steelhead rod i plan to buy at the local baitshop in michigan city. The bait shop said to use 10 lb mono with an 8 lb fluoro leader on the long pole but should i do the same on my 7' bobber rigs or go a little heavier?
Also, about the leaders...a 2 or 3' leader attached via a swivel, or should i use a double uni knot to attach a longer (25') fluoro leader to the swivel?
Also, what hook size and baits and lures?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I’m looking for a starter rod for shore fishing Lake Superior tributes. I will mostly be fishing steelhead and rainbow trout and occasionally salmon. I have been looking at the 8’6” medium steelhead salmon Fenwick eagle rod and also the normal 7’ medium eagle. I don’t know which to choose, I will mostly be fishing with spinners and spoons. My real question is, will the larger rod have the sensitivity for the smaller rainbows and pinks? But I don’t know if the small rod will be able to handle steelhead and salmon. I don’t really have the budget to buy both so which one should I pick? Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for replying!
It's not too long before the salmon start running in Michigan. Im going to travel to petoskey to fish in the bear river. I will be using spawn sacs and a 6 6" med action ugly stik with an Abu Cardinal s60 with 20 lb mono. Anybody have and suggestions for me (lb test line, how to rig the spawn bag, hook size, how to fish, etc:
