I'm always open comm Besides, if I fish like I did today I'll have nothing to share!
Sounds like that deep water was the place to be! I wanted to head deep today, but between the weather and work calling, I never got past 250. 180-250 was a dead zone at 00W.
Good luck to the bff boats, let's see some slobs!!! Pool is $250.
Me too, unfortunately work keeps calling demanding I come back to shore and plug back into the matrix. So much for vacation! 220fow started to light up a bit with bait as well. Almost no hooks anywhere today.
Might be our first skunk of the year if something doesn't happen fast!
I've escaped the asylum and Theresa and I are headed to the lake. This weekend is the Sodus Bay Healing Waters Salmon Slam!!! It's a tournament in coordination with Project Healing Waters to benefit wounded or disabled Veterans and Servicemen. Each team is comprised of a Captain, crew, and one of our Veterans or Servicemen. I can only begin to describe how it feels to be able to put a smile on the Veterans' faces... especially when they start to hear the drag sing!
This year we're also doing a Big Fish Friday event for the first time, so that should be fun as well!
We hope to fish tomorrow and a bit early Friday before needing to get back to the dock to setup for the event. Hopefully, we can figure the fish out a bit to help everyone get their vets on fish Saturday!
The only thing left to do is some friendly smacktalk for the other teams Friday and Saturday!
This pink rod carryin fisherman is going to "find some keepers" in "bout the time" it takes the rest of you to say "so saarie" to your "green lookin dolphin squeaking" crew members for running "outta line" and "bustin tackle" because your "outlawed reels" were only "half wired". Your "fin addiction" will leave you "flat in the mud" and "fishfully thinking" about catching fish. Your "dipseys are likely out of range" and "horsin" around with your fishfinder hopin to "echo one" on your radar won't help you, but don't worry, if you ask me for some tips, I'll say eh, "y knot"!
Bring it ladies!

Ryan,
Fishing has been pretty tough this year. The weather has been all kinds of whacky. The lake has "flipped" more times than I can remember in July. All of this creates different fishing conditions every time we are out. Sometimes the fish are deep, others shallow, sometimes far out, others close to shore. A lot of folks (myself included) have really struggled the last few weeks. Have you been marking fish on your fish finder and just not getting the hits? Or have you just not been finding the fish? I'm headed up now and will be on Ch9 tomorrow if you're out.

Tim, what would stop that same person from just leaving the fish in the cooler, buying their ticket at 6am and weighing in at 7am and saying they caught the fish at 6:30am? In my opinion it's a rule that only hurts the honest fisherman.
