bassboy:
i am from Massachusetts and i got a few ?s
1.how far under the ice do you put the bait
2.what size leader on tip ups
3.what kind and size bait
4. how deep of water do u fish over
i have never fished for salmon but i want to get one I'm going to fish for then this week and any other info would be awesome thanks so much

Pasquatch:
1- 5-10'
2- I use 6lb test monofilament, 8 foot leader.
3- Icecicles, which are just medium (3-4") minnows, or if you can, smelt.
4- I like to find fairly deep water over flats that are near weeds. It varies from lake to lake. I've caught salmon caught in water anywhere from 15 to 150 feet deep.

Also, try to use fairly small hooks, like a size 14 treble hook. And just be quiet, and get to your flags quickly, as salmon take line quickly, and sometimes spit the bait.

ifishhi:
3'-6' under ice, 10' 4#test,sm shiners like a bic lighter or smaller i like 20' to 40' near points (on land) islands and steep drop offs.

fishuhalik:
What are they feeding on that close to the ice?  There's no lakes around me that have salmon, but it sounds like it'd be a blast to hook up w/ one of these critters

bassboy:
look in the massechusetts fourum there was a 20lber caught awsome fish
