Top Spoons for Coho & Steelhead fishing Offshore in Lake Ontario Blue Zone - 2024 Season.

[@davidc.9933]

Love it, please continue this series. We're on the southside, oswego area, and don't get out to the blue zone much, but these discussions help me identify patterns, and also give me ideas for my own lure painting hobby.

Love the offseason tip vids. I wish I could actually target and catch more coho. Usually just incidental catches. I use a couple of the spoons you showed out there as well. Mainly MS UV mixed veg. Also, one of my best rainbow spoons out there (not so much coho) is the old Evil Eye silver with blue lightning bolt. I found a guy at a show last year that had about 8 of them and bought them all lol. Also, you didn't mention it, but one thing I also have found to really help is having at least one flasher (usually green or blue dolphin Spin Doctor) in the spread. Even if it is a spoon bite, it helps to bring them into the spread. I have experimented taking it out of the spread when they will only hit spoons and the hits seem to drop off. When I put it back in, the hits pick up again. It's a sacrificial line out to me. The other thing that seems to help out there is the hammered chrome shark. I currently only have one, but it seems to me (although not conclusive) that some days the chrome side takes more hits than the green pancake side. Curious what your thoughts are on the flasher and shark. Gonna definitely try out the chinook diver. Thanks for all the good info.

I typically always have a flasher fly or a flasher meat out so I do have a flasher in the spread. As for the chrome shark… I don’t run them, so I can’t comment - sorry.

Great information here, thanks so much! Just curious do you still run 5/7 lead and short steel when you’re fishing for kings in the summer just in case you catch a steelhead or coho up high or are those setups reserved for fishing way offshore?

@@noahh5464 - do, plus earlier in the season and after a lake flip they can be super productive for kings also!
