Deering Island so basically at the mouth of the North Arm!! FML that is terrible. Hopefully they can contain it.

I agree- the app and the government site are rarely accurate

Alright fellas
Looks like some of you need help to catch these socs.Its a very simple set up.This is for a single wire set up the first thing to know is you want to run your gear tight to your downriggers.so space out your three or four dummy fishers aprox 5-7 ft apart.The space from the dummy flasher to the rigger wire use 3ft of cord ,rope, mono whatever you use.You need to take off the ring and swivel off the loose end of the dummy flashers'n old timer salty dog told me they don't like the noise from the hard ware of the dummies.then 5- 7 ft up you put you first flasher with your pink hootchie then 5- 7 ft up another set up.Now the flashers with the hooks you run it 4 ft away from your downriggers line this way everything is consistent going up the line.So yes you need a lot of flashers It doesn't matter what color they are trust me,I have 10 flashers just set up for soc fishing and when not using them put them away for two years from now.. now if your having trouble with the clips sliding up the line its because you need to put two or three stoppers next to each other then they lock and no sliding occurs.next thing is speed you can do the obvious by going the same speed as people you see catching fish or you can go fairly slow but turn back and fourth so one side is fishing a little faster then the other if they start biting on the fast side then you know you have to speed up.some like it fast some slower depends which school your into.look for the jumping schools then getting there !! as for leader length i like a little longer so i can travel a little quicker which helps bit ime in wind and current like 29 in good luck!!!!!

Windy and Environment Canada both say 11 @ Sandheads. In my opinion.....perfectly fine for fishing; you are also on an ebbing tide right now.
Windy IS a good app and from what I have seen....more often than not it is WAY better than EC.
