Missdemeanor

Back at it again this morning. Left the dock at 515 and found a nice flat lake with some visible temperature breaks out in around 150. We started with 4 boards, and two riggers(Cheated). In about 3 minutes we had 4 short bites on two of the boards and both riggers. We ended up going out to 180 and connected on a high teens King. Trolled back into 130 and all hell broke loose. The sliders we going, and the boards went. Best colors were the green glow Carlson, NK wonder bread 28. Fishlander orange and silver, and the Dreamweaver firecracker. We ended the day at 1000....I think we were 13 for 20.....Lost count after a while.......

Scott....Good luck my man. You guys should do fine.....

Around 100.....

Started off very slow for me today. 2 hrs no hits, no runs, no errors. We went out a little deeper and Bang......5 kings in a row. 2 fish in the 20's.....other three were 10's. We did manage two lakers over 14.(The only Lakers we took for the day.) The program that worked for me was Green glow silver cup 67 down.....Did one fish off the boards......No hits on the wire....Back at it on Monday....

A few years ago we fished the Oswego Pro Am. It was very rough one day and when we left the dock, I asked the observer if he was used to rough water. The observer(a young punk) was a real smart ass and replied.." Don't worry about it. My Dad's a charter captain, and I can fish in anything." After only 1/2 hour out there, smart ass goes down in our head and proceeds to yack all over the bathroom. I go down and drag him upstairs and hold him over the side. Man I felt like throwing him over. The whole time I was busting his balls..." Oh you can fish in anything huh......."

I have an Evinrude on my Duck Boat and the only place I will take it to is RAS outboards. The work they do is top notch.www.rasoutboard.com/

How about this one Rick......6 even...

Check out my post under " Reports" ....Lake Erie 05/10.......

I know this is Lake Ontario...But I took a day off of salmon fishing and tried for some Lake Erie Bronze backs We ended the day with close to 60 Trophy small mouth with many of them being in the 4 to 5lb class......

Thanks Mark PM sent

Ive been on the website and searched a lot of private sites....Does anyone have a clue as to where I can order some Diamond King spoons? Thanks for the help.....

I tend to under-estimate the wave heights. The king took a Bomber Long A off the board with a split shot. The other fish were on the usual spring suspects....Red spoons, Natural plugs....

A very nice 2-3 ft chop out of the north east. Started out front on the mud line and fished the inside stuff. Went 4 for 5. Cohos and one King that probably went 13 lbs. No real special rig today. We did fish off the boards and the riggers. Back at her on Sunday....Good luck guys

Scott is right ...Sailboats always have the right of way in open water. I do know they are not allowed to tack back and fourth in the river channel. I was out today as well. We only did 4 fish, lost two more right out front. Cohos and rainbows. No size. What is up with this year. I remember having stellar bite this time of the year and now we get 4 fish? How about stocking more cohos and browns? The fish came off the boards and a slider diver 75 back 20 down #4 setting. Really nice green water and 47-48 degrees....Almost perfect. I saw the Grady you were talking about. I didn't have a run in with him, but I know of another boat out there did. I just give those guys all the room they think they need. Hopefully we get out a couple more times before the derby...........

JV Try running those stick baits a little farther back. I usually run my outside rods 200-225 back and then a little shorter on each rod closer to the boat. If I'm running shallow riggers I tend to run them 100 back. Now One thing I use is Flourocarbon. I usually have around 50 ft of Flouro as a leader. If the water gets gin clear, the line makes a difference....

I went to Buffalo Last Tuesday. The Coasties there were extremely friendly. No problems what so ever one I got there. It sure was a pain in the arse trying to find the place though. What I was relaying to Scott was, if there is a group of Rochester guys who need prints, they could get together and have the Buffalo Coasties come to Rochester for a day to print everyone. The Guy who printed me said if there were four or five guys that they could probably arrange for a Rochester day.

Thanks guys.....Jax, If I never have to use a parallel or chart plotting equipment again I'll be happy. Holy smokes.....As far as the Pro Ams, I'm happy with just fishing. I really don't miss the days of fishing the Pro Ams. I'm not knocking the tournaments, Its just not financially beneficial for me to fish them. Especially at 4.50 a gallon......You know it will be that at the Marinas this year...... Hey Scott I'm sending you and Legacy the Info on the fingerprints...Good Luck. Hopefully you won't have to go to Buffalo...What a pain in the but it was Finding the station.......

Are you kidding me..? I was sweatin like a snake in a belt factory......What a weight off my shoulders. All I can say is...." Set and Drift what? Break out the GPS." Now for the fun part............

Thanks Scott.....

All I Keep thinking about is ...." Can I just put out some boards and high riggers for the Browns..."

Ray thats funny.... The riggers are a little older, but they have worked great for me. I used to run 5 rigs off my boat, but in the recent years the most Ive been running is 3. Kinda upgraded to the new mag 10HS. I'm going to keep 2 out of the 5 for spare rigs. Good luck in the upcoming season..........

Took a break for a minute Scott..... Seriously...When am I going to use Set and Drift? LOL......See you Monday night.

Cannon mag 10A's. They are in great shape and have been taken care of. single rod holder.No bases....$250 each. I have 3 and will separate.

Rob, I was thinking the same thing. Drop me an email with what you find....See you Monday night.
