Yankee Troller

I spent the morning on Jax's boat banging the beach out of Sandy and just as we were gonna pull to go to breakfast bang fish on. It was a 3lb brown. So we said 10 more minutes. 10 minutes later fish on again. This one went 2lbs. So we pull rods and go in. In the mean time I was getting ready for my old man to meet me at Sandy with the YT for her shakedown cruise. Sitting there at the launch letting the boat warm up to see if she wants to over heat and up pulls Legacy (rob) I ask if he want to ride for a few hours and he says sure. So out we go around 1:30 and we headed east. Not a touch so we turn around and go west of Sandy. Almost to the pump house and the inside rod off the board on the starboard side releases. I grab it and hand it to Rob thinking it was a brown. WRONG!!!!! Line starts SCREAMING out. I'm like "you got a nice brown on dude or you lightened the drag? He would get it 100' behind the boat and out it would go again. Now I'm like this is no Brown. 10 minutes later its in the net and we are all high fivin over a 14.14lb SALMON! It took a clown colored rapala husky jerk 150' back.

There are always kings around! You just need to run to them.

Thats only becasue I have had more experience with them hog browns the past few weeks Bill. I've weighed a few 7-8lbers. But I'm not braggin or anything.

There you go again Tom! You have it all backwards. I didn't have and small baits on board so I was trying to show you how big the fish really was.

Jax, I hear this is the stuff to buy: http://www.amishoutfitters.com/pbline.htm

Yeah...no such thing! You would be amazed at how many tricks these two know about with a camera. They can make 3lb browns look big with crappie sized lures hanging from thier mouth.

Ill tell ya what I cant wait for.......is to have a captains meeting at once place and move it to another to discuss the rules! Yipee!!!!! LMAO I hope that doesnt happen this year. But, you should all know I'll be fishing all four again this year. I just hope im not as inconsistent as last year.

I almost forgot to tell everyone that Bill and I put a SD/fly out on a rigger for a little while! You cant say we were thinking big time!

Good job guys and great pics!

I wish they were smallmouth! Yeah, it went downhill fast when those creeks stoped pumping water out and the waves quit. We had great color and temp in front of hedges but couldnt turn much. A few skippers.

Alright now I know who you are! Im bad with names but faces Im good with. Im sorry you had to put up with Eye Guy's mouth for that Niagara tourney! You guys musta been sh**'n ur pants!

LOL....Im almost sure your screen name was on the back of that other Trojan. SO, Im taking it that ts a new boat for you? I also dont think we have ever met.

Great job Kev! I hope I don't bomb like last year.

You got a prayer! I got home and played with my Scotty's right away! Ill still rig faster than anyone with a cannon!!!!! Thanks for the ride bro! Maybe next time you can let me practice backing her in the slip to get some practice?????

Great job guys! I need to fish that place next winter!

Good one!

Yeah, its a joke with some of the captains who dont run them. I think there are about 12 of them that charter out of Rochester now.

I seen another new one out there today! WTF!!!! Your guys have an association formed yet?

Well, Jax and I launched the boat around 8am and headed straight to Shipbuilders creek. 3rd cast and WHAM! It was crazy for a while with nice healthy browns/coho/rainbows. We doubled up on 8lb Browns in the outflow of the creek. Made a run to Hedges to fish that run off and it looked great but only yielded small browns. Same with Webster park. Nothing much in that pocket of water. Fishing was great in the morning when the waves were creating some colored water, but when the lake laid down it went gin clear and the fishing went to crap. Here are some pics. It was too fast and furious to take pics of all of them. We did close to 15 fish between the two of us.

Great boat! Please show some pics of her rigged.

Ill be out Sat and Sun either trolling or casting for them. I see one more King caught and I'm heading to Canada!

Its about time! Thanks for the report.

If I can get Jax to keep the trolling boat home tomorrow we are going to hop creek mouths from Irondequoit to FH!

Trust me I will be very soon hopefully! We need to find a nice indoor storage place in Niagara for Maniacs boat so he doesnt have to trailer it up to the river each weekend when we want to go steelhead fishing.

Post a picture on here and let us have soe fun with them!
