I would figure you would pick up a steelhead or two fishing a minnow so high up. When I troll with my buddy, all the flat line spoons ever get were shaker kings and steelheads. Maybe not the right type of bait? Maybe think gizzard shad, alewife or smelt?

Just thinking out loud.

I would see this as a very worthwhile pursue in the spring when the salmonids come closer to shore following the right current with the right water temperature...kinda like how cohos USED to come into Bronte Harbour in the spring under the right conditions...so my friends had told me (those who used to fish it) Wink Not anymore though...not sure why the fish don't come into the harbour anymore. Sad

A good size live Alewife would be the bomb for this rig in Lake O, but no idea where I would get some other than in TTP. I guess I should try this rig from the lighthouse point over there and float the balloon out past the end of the island sand bar into deep water. I am thinking of trying a really long trace and hooking it up onto the main line with a few PVA nuggets so that it doesnt drag behind the balloon, but swings down once the PVA has dissolved.

Yesterdays Carp was caught on a 15ft trace under the Balloon.

EDIT* I am tempted to try one of those 12inch plastics as the balloon motion would give it constant action....
