I have never seen the lake so green. It is unreal [ Post made via iPhone ]

Nice one! [ Post made via iPhone ]

I come every August now. The thing I like is that it drops off a lot quicker and there are more guys out so it is waaaaay easier to figure out the off shore bite when the inside is dead [ Post made via iPhone ]

I call it the pepperoni- it is orange and has a fish painted on with the ub tape over that. All I know is I got it at captains cove and I hope they have a bunch more cause I had 2 bit off just today. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Your Name / Boat Name: continuity/fish doctor Date(s): 8/14 Time on Water: 6:30-11 Weather/Temp: cloudy and nice Wind Speed/Direction: s <10 Waves: 1 LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): 26-28 n Total Hits: 12 Total Boated: 7 Species Breakdown: kings and steel Hot Lure: mag moonshine uv series and cutbait Boat Depth: 150-500 Lure Depth: 80-100 rigger and dipseys 190-260 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== A fairly productive day out of the oak today. We started in 160 fow and pointed north. Again as soon as I crossed the 26.2 n line I had fish going working 11-12 w. I had salmon of all year classes and some decent steelies, but no good majors. I left fish to find bigger fish north but only found more steel. I stacked my riggers with mag spoons, and had a deep dipsey with meat and a higher dipsey with a flasher fly all am. Easily my best setup was a mag uv moonshine on the 100 rigger. There was 2 clear lines of fish at 26 and 28 north that guys were working. I heard of a few majors but not a ton. Interestingly I had an 8 lb buck king that was clearly ready to spawn??? We kept a few tender 5-9 lb fish for the grill and the rest were released. Back at it on Saturday. Good luck everyone Abe [ Post made via iPhone ]

Your Name / Boat Name: fish doctor/ continuity ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 8/13 Time on Water: 7-10 Waves: 2 Surface Temp:76 Location: 25-26 Total Hits: 4 Total Boated:3 Species Breakdown: kings and a steelie Hot Lure: mag white chili Willie and cutbait Trolling Speed: 2.2 Boat Depth: 250-300 Lure Depth: 80-110 down The goal today was to get a few youngsters their first salmon... We started in 100 fow and trolled north. The water was warm inside so we had stuff down 90-120. Just as we crossed 250 fow my youngest started to feel sick... And we doubled on a 15 lb king and 12 lb steelie. He rallied but I didn't want to go any deeper. We did manage 2 more Fish and called it at 10. Everyone got a fish and survived, so life is good. Back out tomorrow, and the plan is to start in 200 and point her north. See you out there [ Post made via iPhone ]

You can say that again! There is always more to learn... I think this lake just likes to show us who is boss every now and again [ Post made via iPhone ]

Nice box of fish today Rod, and yesterday as well. Some really nice fish- and the boys looked stoked! You really put a hurtin on them this weekend!

Yeah he had some pigs. I think he was out in the abyss with me, except east?

Here are the results from sunday. Momay posted the results from saturday on a separate report. Nick- Very nice to finally meet you at the weigh in on saturday! Abe

Your Name / Boat Name: Continuity/Fish Doctor Date(s): 7/20-7/22/12 Weather/Temp: very windy and wavy, calming to flat calm saturday, then wavy to start sunday calming to flat Wind Speed/Direction: heavy east followed by SW Waves: 3-5s + friday, 1-2 most of the weekend =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 25+ Species Breakdown: Kings, steel Hot Lure: Mag glow spoons, white prochip atommik, white spinny atommik fly Trolling Speed: 2-2.5 Boat Depth: 150-650+!! Lure Depth: 60-90 down So the plan was to prefish friday and do BFF, then fish the open of the sodus proam both days. Word was of a decent salmon bite so thats what I geared up for. What I didnt plan for was a STRONG east wind on friday.... So right before bed thursday I called my guys and said that we were going out late on friday (when it was supposed to start calming down). We got to the point at 8 am and it was whitecapping in the no wake zone, so I knew it was nasty. We waited it out, and finally got out at ~10. We set up in 100 FOW and trolled NE into the 3-5 footers... UGH. we did manage to miss a few shots in 140 and 220, but nothing good so we kept going. The plan was to go to 400 then ride it back in and call it a day. However, as soon as we hit 350 FOW all hell broke loose- I think we did 10 hits out there on salmon and steelies in 2 hours, but we were having a hell of a time keeping them hooked in those waves. Hits coming down 60-80 with good temp there, mostly on mag moonshine spoons. Fortunately I could see that it was finally calming when we came in and I was very confident about saturday. Our box wasnt enough to compete on BFF given our dropsy tendencies (needed about 75-80 I think). I talked to the guys and the plan was to set up in 200 FOW and troll N on saturday.... We woke up on saturday to this: I was excited, and couldnt wait for a crack at those fish when I could actually stand up to fight them! so we did a very similar program as friday, stacked riggers with mag spoons down 60-90, dipseys with FF back 180-250. We missed a quick one in200 FOW on the way out, and once we got to our waypoints from friday we hooked a mega steelhead- which jumped us off 15 feet behind the boat and flopped on the surface for a few minutes while we tried to turn around and net it. That would be our last hit of the day (it was 8 am) and we would struggle from then on. we tried our waypoints in 350, east and west of those, and worked the living crap out of 200-400 FOW. Nothing. Nada. First skunk of the year and I had it for the proam. Typical.... My poor brother was not amused. We hemmed and we hawed and we watched some boats weigh in huge boxes. Of course there were you brown trout, but I cannot stand fishing browns when I know there are perfectly good salmon around. Anyways, browns wont win a trophy division. I noticed that most successful guys were coming west, so we decided to go west on sunday. On sunday we had a good SW wind and it was a bit more wavy: we started in 200 FOW and had a screamer get cut off by a dipsey- wicked current? after 2 hours of nothing, we decided to throw the hail mary and go way west and WAY deep, thinking those fish from friday rode the east wind down to the west. We picked up and ran, and set up in 350 FOW and trolled NW. As soon as the depth finder read 600 FOW it was game on. Man was it game on... we did 4 fish in 15 minutes around 8am, the first two a double on steelies down 70-80, the second two kings on the 270 dispey and 300 copper. we would slowly pick away at 2 and 3 year old salmon for the next 2.5 hours, and by then I had three good salmon for the weigh in. By far the MVP of the day was a mag moonshine UV crabface down 80 and 90 on the rigger. A white prochip also took a few nice ones. We came in at 11:30 and I felt pretty confident (but given the scores fromyesterday not overly so). We would end up putting up a box of 79 pts on our 3 fish, good for 3rd place for the day. I finally broke my friggin proam curse! In all we would walk away with $350 cash, and an additional $250 in merchandise, not a bad haul for 1 good day of fishing... Here are our best 4 that we kept: Big fan of the open division. Alot less hassle, single day event, decent payouts. Definitely will do that next year, maybe even oswego as well.

Were you east?? [ Post made via iPhone ]

Your Name / Boat Name: Continuity/FishDoctor ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 7/12 Time on Water:7-11 Weather/Temp: warm blue skies and sunny Wind Speed/Direction: light and variable Waves: none Surface Temp: 74 Location: 57-59 W Total Hits: 7 Total Boated: 3 Species Breakdown: Kings, 1 brown Hot Lure: Mag white Chili Willi (silver streak spoon) and white prochip dodger/white fly Trolling Speed: 2.25-2.5 Boat Depth: 100-140 Lure Depth: 60-80 down, 180 dipsey ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== got a late start today out of sodus- wasnt on the lake and setting up until after 7 am. Water was set up perfect, 54 degrees down 65, 48 down 80 in 120 FOW. We started almost immediately with good king action (all screamers) on the 180 wire with White Flasher Fly, then the 65 rigger (twice) with a mag white chili willie and again with the 180 dipsey with the white FF. These fish were coming 120-130 FOW just a click east. I had a really nice 11 year old on the boat and I really wanted him to catch his first salmon by himself... so after some trials and tribulations, we did end up with once nice fat 20 lb king from the flurry. Man was he excited (and me too!!). I wish we could have been out earlier because the morning bite was good. At about 8:30 things really slowed, so we moved to the west just a bit in 110-120 FOW, and knocked off a nice brown on the rigger and a spunky 16 lb king (another king for the little man!!) with another swing and miss around 10 am. Nothing fast and furious today, and we missed a few real good ones... however, given that it was an 11 year old on the rod for the first time I was really happy. He didnt really get any help from me on either fish. I didnt dare bust out the copper today for his sake, but I bet it would have been dynamite.. Overall, Ill take it. Back at it on saturday. Good luck everyone

Nice fish man. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Good luck man. Lots of big boys around for the taking same place you left them!! [ Post made via iPhone ]

Well done man. Hard to believe that 14 lbs doesn't get you solidly in the money on the browns... Keep up the good work! [ Post made via iPhone ]
