    Great day of fishing in mid-December!! Thanks you for the report. Were you fishing out of the port of Rochester and then east?

    I appreciate the replies. If there is only a foot of water in several spots in the channel it might be tough getting my boat thru. I can always travel to Oak Orchard. Water might be deeper there. Thanks again!

    I know that the lake level is down 1.75-2.0 ft from its maximum (246.16) in mid July 2024 and is now at 244.36 ft (Oct 31st reading). With the lake level being down nearly 2 feet over the last 3 months, I was wondering if anyone has been out thru Braddock Bay channel recently and what the depth of water might be in the channel. I was thinking of doing some near shore fishing for browns in November but did not want to spend the time/energy launching my boat at Westpoint Marina if I can't get thru the channel to the lake. I have a 21 ft Crestliner with a 120hp outboard and 9.9hp trolling motor but if water level in channel is low I might not be able to navigate safely thru the channel. If anyone has any recent information on depth of water in the channel I would appreciate it. Thank you. Mr Kato

    Thanks for all the tips on what baits you are using. In your reports could you provide specifics on what depth of water you are fishing and at what depths are you setting your riggers? And are you fishing east/west of the Genesee? Just wondered. Thank you!

    Looks like you were out early by the photo with the sun just coming up. How far down were you jigging? I was out today from about 10am-130 and got nothing. Water temp seemed all messed up between Braddock and Lighthouse Pt with 45 degree water down about 40-45 ft in 70-150 ft depth. I am going to have to try this jigging. Is it best early in the morning or late at night? Mr Kato

    I fished Sunday 7/21 morning/early afternoon (10am - 2pm) out of Braddock Bay in that 80-110 ft range and marked tons of fish but could only manage one 14 pound king. And to get a decent down speed (2.5-2.8) we had to troll east/northeast, not west or northwest. To get a down speed of 2.5-2.8 trolling west or northwest we had to crank the surface speed up close to 4 knots! Just wondered what you were seeing in that 150-220 ft of water. Guess maybe we should have gone out a little farther instead of staying in that 80-110 ft range. But maybe the time of day also made a difference. Mr Kato

    Similar to the above post: would be interested in knowing the type and size/weight of the igging spoons. From some of the photos from this post and a previous it looks like the color might be white with some black markings on the spoons. Any info you could provide would be appreciated. I have often thought about trying that technique. Thank you! Mr Kato

    Just wondered how long of a lead are you running on your spoons on your 70/80 riggers? I fished Sunday morning/early afternoon (10am - 2pm) out of Braddock Bay in that 80-110 ft range and marked tons of fish but could only manage one 14 pound king. Was running about 15ft leads on my spoons off of the riggers. And to get a decent down speed (2.5-2.8) we had to troll east/northeast, not west or northwest. To get a down speed of 2.5-2.8 trolling west or northwest we had to crank the surface speed up close to 4 knots! What directions were you trolling? Or what direction was best for you? Thanks! Mr Kato

    How are the spiny fleas the last few days? When I was out there earlier in the week (Monday/Tuesday timeframe) they were real bad. Lines full of them. Any tips on how to keep them off the line? Mr Kato

    Whaler1: I am heading out tomorrow out of Braddock Bay. Were you fishing off/near Braddock Pt? If you can provide any info that would be great. Depth, speed, lures, etc. Thank you! Mr Kato

    Was that 2.3-2.5 speed you referenced surface speed at speed at the downrigger ball?

    What depth of water did you fish and how deep were the riggers set? - Mr Kato
  15. MrKato
    Zach, That's quite a laker!! Congrats! What port did you fish out of? Just wondered. Mr Kato
