TOP SECRET

so what you working on today Ruff? boat stuff or work work

A few work work telecoms and other job related tasks. I had plans to do some cleaning of the boat and rod wrapping to ruffify the new rod we bought, but relaxing and watching some tv won out.

Breakfast at Nick's Diner was a nice break also

Yeah looking at the lake now and it is grumpy out of the NE.

Reports coming in are that the lake has calmed down and fishing is terrible. A few bites early in 130fow and 80fow, but pretty dead out there.

Taking this morning off to get a bit of work done.

Love that place!

Now we are headed to Rochester for Dinosaur Barbecue!

I forgot to post we went to the Sodus Farmer's Market yesterday. It is every Wednesday from 230-6. They had a decent variety and we made some great peppers onion and sausage.

A bit warm out there? Water temp was moving deep, assuming it is back down on bottom now.

Go get them and keep your eye on the coming storms!

Pulling rods and last one fires... Evil twin spoon with scent tape. 100 down.

Much better than yesterday!

Temp is dropping like a rock. This morning was 50deg down 60ft. Now it is 60deg down 85.

100 rigger took a shot.

Gator board green fly

250 dipsey SCREAMIN!

70-130, now in 90.

That was just a shaker.

69 rigger goin

Let's go fishing!

Storm front coming through in the morning, maybe that will help turn the fish on! Two boats I talked to that went out tonight, one did two kings in 130fow, the other never moved a rod. Kinda how the story has been all week.

I fished near Nick and Theresa for a while this morning and believe me they EARNED their fish. It was very slow and Mark and I had only 2 hits from 7:30 AM till 3PM with 6 rods out. One unbuttoned on the wire and the other is probably now living in Oswego with our spoon after nearly spooling us on the 350 copper and snapping the fluoro leader. The high point of the day was chatting with Nick and Theresa at Arney's afterward

Les it was a pleasure meeting you today! Sorry I didn't talk longer, but after being in the sun all day, all I wanted to do was crawl into the boat and bask in the AC!

Troll between 2.5mph and 3mph on your GPS and you will be fine 90% of the time. If running spoons, aim for 2.8-3mph. If dodgers, 2.5-2.8mph. There are times where the current is strong, but this is close enough a majority of the time.

Thanks everyone. We reversed the cable this afternoon with the help of Mudflat and Half Wired. Time to start saving my pennies...

heard good & bad with the torpedo wire & antenna. cable breaking & losing everything. ultimately i think a fish hawk is the only cure. search here for discussion...

I thought I read the breaking issue was early on and they changed something to prevent that?

I think it is time to try the torpedo wire... This cable was brand new a couple of weeks ago.
