Pulled out of the slip around 7:00am, took the easy troll down the Genesee River, and hooked Left out of the chute. Boy did that feel good! Figured the water East was beat up from the strong West winds on Saturday. Although, some guys pulled some good numbers out of there as the day wore on. Our day was great, and we had plenty of action. We set-up in front of Russel Station, and trolled her to Braddock point trying to hang in 8-15' of water depending on where the mud line was. Action came in spurts, which we figured it would as we passed the ponds. Water temps ranged from 37-40 degrees. Most fish seemed to be in that 10-16" range, but we did get a couple of nice ones. It's good to see that class of fish. Last Spring everything was just HUGE, but we caught very little skippies. No one lure was hot. Black and silver Smithwicks, Stinger Glow Frog, Dreamweaver Firefly SS, Stinger UV Wonderbread, Challenger Lady Bug, and a Smithwick Firetiger all took their fair share of fish. Back at it again next weekend!
Enjoy the fish p**n now!
I also fish my probe as the highest rigger. Usually in the Summer time I will find 60 degrees with the probe. Park the probe there, and fish everything below it. Also, anything less than 13lb weights on your probe is going to give you a lot of blowback. We never fish anything but a 15lb Torpedo on ours.
We've been running the new Cannons for 3 seasons now, and we've had 2 swivel bases crack on us. The first one cracked when my brother used is impact wrench to tighten the screw that held it down. Obviously, his fault. The other one cracked because our pull rope to our 48" trolling bag was around it. Again, our fault. If your truly worried about it they do make Stainless Steel bases and swivel bases.
FYI....I did notice they have changed the swivel bases recently, and they look great!
I'll add my $.02. We've run McCoy Flouro 100 since it came out 6yrs or so ago. It's great stuff! It's produced here in the states. The guys who run the company are great guys. If we know were running spoons we use their 15lb. If we are running paddles we run their 20lb. Moisten your knots well, and there are no issues.
