Trouthunter.......You are so right about the browns along the drop offs into deeper water in the fingers. That has been my experience as well in Seneca, Canandaigua, and Kueka......Seems like surprisingly good ones have been caught trolling along marked drops from around 30 to 55 feet down when that drop is going from a shelf flat of water (like north of Kashong on seneca or north of woodville at south end of canandaigua) into the depths (100ft or more), right along the angled slope edge of the drop.....And yes, nothing beats good accurate and regular data from as many points (fishermen over time) as possible, to figure out how to best do stuff, including getting the funds to do whatever.
