I agree on the inlines you can use them ALL or any time you are trolling. I love mine wish I had found the other 4 boards I had ealier in the season......LOL The BOA RIG got bad reviews from those guys on that striper site. If you read that artical farther you will see how they made there own , better and cheaper from what they said............you could still use the one Frank showed you just use a Octipuss (sp) Hook in place of the treble............ turnip wrote: I'll have to get a pair of them inline plainer boards when we make our Cabela's run! This we should be able to get the hang of pretty quick, Scott. We will just need to practice a little! Who knows, we may start catchin' stripers at the marsh this way! lol... Ed, your plan seems solid. I wonder if Cabela's carries the BOA RIG? This seems better in that it is easily adjusted for fish length. I should be able to use my 8' trolling rods for this. I may have to consider upgrading my line weight from 30# to 50# tho... I have 10#, 16# and 40# florocarbon leader material and those heavy duty swivels.

Maybe it was Lake Wallenpaupack that they put the fingerling trout in for the stripers............. http://www.fish.state.pa.us/stock_fingerling.htm TOO MUCH INFO-----  ERABBIT wrote: Scott you said some thing about rainbows and browns in there also. ("Raystown Lake is the one of the best places to fish in the area for: Catfish, Carp, Bass (Striped, Largemouth, Rock, and Smallmouth), Walleye, Muskellunge, Trout (Lake, Brown, and Rainbow), Atlantic Salmon, Perch, Smelt, Crappy, and Blue Gill. You can check fishing conditions at The Raystown Lake Striper Fishing ") I read some where (can't find it now) that the PFBC stocked "fingerling" trout in there for the stripers but no mention of what kind. There is a "approved" trout stream that flows in nearer the south end......."Trough Creek"???? |

You might be right Art about heading out just before dark. The fishing report I read that was most recent to our trip said the stripers were transitioning from a night to day bite. From what little I read is to try to find an active school thats feeding, then hit them hard until they break up. Easier said than done.

My neighbor has told me that during the summer there is a lot of trolling at night...I will have to take notice next year if the ramp area is lighted or not. LM since 2005 Bushwacker Deputy Sherif

I'm relatively new to trolling, I've only been trolling since I met you guys. (see what ya done to me) lol I started drifting with live bait. Then I picked up and would make another run up the lake and drift down again. Then came you guys and the fact that I'm lazy. So I got the idea why not troll back up the lake. That would save me time pulling in the lines and putting them back out again. Well it worked. Nothing changed I rig the perch the same and 4' under the float. The only thing I found is if you have 2 lines out have them 20' apart. one float 40' back the other 60' back less likely the lines get tangled.
ERABBIT wrote:I think I laid it out above some place. I've only done it with 'DEAD" bait in bait heads. I was going to try that this year but it's smelly and I didn't want to mess the trip up if the bait got into the food. I was reading how theye rig and will get that down. Pete we should ask Frank if he trolls live bait or just drifts it. In any case see how he rigs his baits. For your boat Pete without down riggers; Two inline board out the sides poles 8' to 10' you wou be targeting 5' to 25' that's how much line out before putting on board. one rod out the back and strait down same depth range. Last one out the back off a bobber or ballon set as the inline board for depth. Rig would be........line from rod, slipsinker (guessing on weight 1/2oz)...barrel swilve , leader line (floro) to match leanght of rod ( 10' rod leader 10' or less)(6' rod leader 6' or less). Pick your spots you want to check set up your rods a ways from this area. Kill your big motor and troll drift into the area using your electric. Then just use it to keep lines straight.......nothing going fire up big motor if next area is close troll to it if you have a good picture on your depthfinder on the way kill motor and drift fish the area for awhile.................. What do you think ???? turnip wrote: scotteph wrote: I'm starting to think pulling live bait may be the way to go?

Heres the latest report I have on the lake just to give some ideas... Anglers were catching lake trout, 2-12 # trolling 2 1/4 inch flutter spoons with downriggers in 30 to 40 feet. Stripers 8-20 # were hitting alewife, shad, shiners, and trout in the upper 20 feet of water. Dosen't give the method they were using. Southeast PA LM '99 |

Makes me wonder if we should change the month that we go there... I'll have to call the ranger and see if we can get the facilities in October?? Any thoughts on this? It stands to reason though, that minnowbaits would be good in late fall...All these fish are putting on the feedbag for the winter. LM since 2005 Bushwacker Deputy Sherif from S.E. Pa. |

I have some greasetraps to try before the meet. Here is a little talk that went on the L.O.U. BB where I asked the guy I got them from for some more info: The Grease Traps are great on lakers and guys love them on both the great lakes and small inland lakes. We sell alot to guys on Cumberland lake in Kentucky fishing for stripers, Colorado for Wipers, Nj and Penn for lakers and out west for lakers and of course the Finger Lakes. Best way to go is get a GT and extra blades, you can save alot of money. The blades change out in a flash. Less drag than cowbells but the cowbells do work great. Randy from Hit or Miss charters sells cowbells I think if you would rather have those. Rod did use them for stripers in the ocean. Small spoons, clean meat heads with a minnow, spin n glows or Vib flies all about 30" back. Any questions feel free to call anytime, Thanks guys, BW

Man made and standing timber sounds like Raystown , you can only troll about the top 30' and still you get a hold of a tree limb..................I had the whole tree one rigger down 60' and the other 90' lucked out got every thing back..................thanks for the info.

Seems like I am with the wrong clan, sounds like most of you are trollers. I more target bass using just artificial baits. Keep on fishing.........

To me usind artifical lures and covering just one area at a time is more challenging and hones my skills rather then just having a boat pull the lure or baits around. Nothing against you guys we all have our methods.

I hear what your saying, SD but it's not quite as simple as pulling a lure around! There are a lot of variables that have to be eliminated, delt with, worked through. I find both methods challenging!  LM since 2005 Bushwacker Deputy Sherif

Really SD that's what this tread is all about trying to get a plan to hook up on this lake. Art was jigging in the tree top and hooked up but lost it. Told us what he was doing and using and the tackle store in the area had a run on that bait. Pete and Scott trolled and later beat up on the shore line throwing differnt stuff at them trying to hook up. Merlin did not troll at all I think. The BIG "challenge" for me was to hook up trolling. Pete and Scott had been trying to get me down there for a few years. Anyway if you have a system you think would work please post it up we need all the help we can get figuring out this lake.

**** ATTENTION **** ATTENTION **** ATTENTION **** There is a great artical in the May edition of "Pennsylvania Game & Fish", page 24. It is totally about the striper fishing at Raystown. A very good read and I highly recommend it! LM since 2005 Bushwacker Deputy Sherif from S.E. Pa. |
