Chinook fishing in Owen Sound has been getting better every day. Boats are reporting good catches of fish both in the morning and evening. The returning chinooks seem to be in a healthier condition than years past, with some fish showing up in the 20lb range. This is good news for salmon anglers. Hot lures have been Hotfish spoons, Flashers with Meat, and Lyman plugs. The majority of fish caught have been coming along the west shore of the bay in depths between 60 and 100 feet of water. Pay attention to your trolling speed as this is usually the deciding factor to success. Lymans run the best below 2.4mph. Hotfish spoons are lethal when trolled 2.3mph to 3mph. Flashers and cutbait run the best between 2.5 and 3.5mph based on the rate of spin the actual bait is creating. READ THE PACKAGE INFO that comes with each trolling head...the information is simple on how to tune an anchovey or cutbait to optimal action.
To boat more salmon, try to run a downrigger program that maintains a single type of presentation. If you are using 2 rods/downriggers, then run a spoon on each, or two lymans, or 2 flasher and meat rigs. Each bait has a preffered speed range that is different from the others. Trying to run a Lyman at 3mph with a spoon on the other rod will only cause problems and catch you less fish in the long run...
Looking for more info...stop into Watson's for the latest news!

Trokar, Northland, and Owner are the brands tourny anglers depend on to put big bass in the boat, and you can find them in the store now!
New to Watson's is a full line-up of Power Pro fishing line. This micro filament fused line is similar to braid but smoother and has a smaller diamter. This line is a favorite among local bass anglers and is a must for fishing heavy cover for largemouth. The sensitivity of this new line is second to none and it is as tough as nails! Watson's now carries lb test selections from 10-50.
For salmon anglers, shop owner Drew Watson is happy to announce his stock of fresh cut bait strips and anchovies has arrived. To fish these baits anglers need bait holder heads, which can also be found at the store. Hot-Spot Flashers are a great attractor to pair up with these natural baits and you can find a large selection at Watson's. If your into pulling spoons for offshore salmon and steelhead, you can find Hotfish, Stinger, Silver Fox and NK spoons in stock. Lymans your favorite summer salmon lure?? Well, just happens to be the largest local selection of Lymans at Watson's Tackle.

Fall planting of Field Edge and Sweet Success blends are a huge attractant food source come late fall, and make targeting a big buck alittle easier.
If you plan on scouting the deer woods, come down and check out Watson's selection of trail/scouting cameras. Don't forget your Thermacells if your out there. Bugs are still bad in the woods and these items are the hottest bug repellant system created.......oh ya, they are forsale at Watson's too!
Don't forget to pick up your derby tickets! The Chantry ends this weekend, and the early bird draw for Salmon Spectacular is coming up soon!
Local outdoor news
Salmon are showing up in Owen Sound Bay in greater numbers the past week. Hotfish spoons and cut-bait/anchovies behind flashers are the hot set-ups. The west shore of the Bay is producing the best results with anglers targeting water in the 70 to 150 foot range. Pay attention to detail when fishing natural baits. Cut bait and anchovies must be rotating properly in the bait holder heads. Tweaking the heads is a must to adjust the rate of rotation. Vary your leader lengths behind the flasher and let the fish tell you the correct length. Some days, 50 inches between the bait and flasher can be a hot length, while 20-25 inches may be the magic length the next day. If your bait isn't working properly, you won't catch fish. Many anglers never figure out how to run these natural baits properly and therefore, don't catch fish. They work very very well when run properly.!
Hotfish Mag spoons are another great option this time of the year. These premium spoons are designed by local salmon guru Captain Tony Degasperis. His colour selections are created with Lake Huron/G.Bay salmon in mind. These spoons are designed to be run at specific speed ranges. Keep your speed between 2.3 and 3mph and your fishing these metal gems just right.
The Grey-Bruce Bass Club has now completed 6 events. Big weights of fish have been entered in each tournament. 5 fish coming in at 17+lbs are winning these events, testimate to the incredible bass fishing in our local waters. 3 fish over 6lbs have been caught during these events as well....thats a huge bass anywhere in Canada! The winning weight at Issac Lake on July 23rd was a whopping 18.3lbs for 5 fish! Watson's has many of the proven winning baits in stock! If your looking to put your bass fishing skills to test, the club has 3 events remaining in the schedule and you can contact Rod at rod.freiburger@freiburgercommunications.com for more info, or stop in and see club sponsor Drew Watson for more info.
