Tell us a little about yourself Danny ....it's nice to know where you're at , etc..... I have seen the odd guy tossing spoons during the winter , but I think you would have more luck a lead head /twister , crank baits or finesse minnows . Even live minnows on a 3 way rig sitting firmly on bottom (1 oz + weight) ....seen some good steel take the live minnows . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutthroat dan Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 If fishing in port with spoons, try to get as deep as possible and fish in current, cleos work good sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try bottom bouncing spoons. Keeps the spoon deeper for longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishingking Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Ya it works but ive been fishin port dalhousie 25 years and theres so much line attached to the bottom and zebra mussels that you will snag just about every other cast and lose your gear !i usually cast out let sink for a 10 count and slow retrieve and twitch and lift and pause etc ....but id use different baits now .white twisters and jigs get lakers and bows .streamers or imitation minnows on a three way rig ,real minnows work best larger sized.welcome back on board!

pauly Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I fish port Dalhousie all winter long and for the past 8 years or so with spoons almost exclusively. For every bow, you will get 20 browns. I don't mind because I target browns anyways. That being said, this year has been slower than others. I fish differently to target rainbows. If you are worried about losing baits, swap out the treble for a siwash. It will save you money if you fish deep. Almost all my fish come from slack water or very mild back current. Previous years I had some 10 fish days but not this year. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Paul......I didn't see many minnows at Dalhousie in 2018 . I usually got lots in the late fall to fill up my tank for ice fishing . I also made a trip to the River but all the "bait fish" in my net were dink perch . I think you may do well using Mepps spinner baits , tipped with a minnow or worm ,etc. The old fav.there used to be Cleo's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
