SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS
====================
The Lake was absolute glass and the sun baked us pretty well through out the day. We left my boat behind tonight and fished from the Scottsman II. It was just plain Hot hot hot with little breeze for refreshment. We first hooked up on a Spin dr/A TOM MIK combo which ripped out a couple hundred feet of line just to spit the hook 10 feet from the boat. Just while the sun was setting the starboard corner rigger fires off and right away we knew this was a monster. 45 minutes later in the dark, with my knees knocking and zero blood left in my fingers Capt Lester netted this slob and I had to set the pole down to help get him in the boat. And my hand to god he bent the 8 foot net.
In case your wondering, after signing up for every derby around this season both of us have had crazy schedules and did not register for the Fall LOC.. Yeah.. I know... We were happy just the same at this magnificent beast.
Sorry for the dark pictures, it was almost 10 by the time we got to the dock.
It was a fantastic time and you guys did a great job putting it together. We all had fun and this one is added to the "must fish" tourneys next season!
Bravo Zulu
Its gorgeous! Its also nice to see someone else who appreciates the recreational tugs. A Nordic Tug is my dream some day.
Very Nice, Thanks for sharing and letting us drool.

Jeff I've seen boats 30+ go in the Sandy Launch without an issue although I'm not sure where the concrete ends. The marina is Sandy Creek Marina 585-964-8189 and is run by Bruce. He usually has transient dock space. Look forward to seeing you at the shootout.
Theres still a lot of shallow cold water out there. In 150fow the break was down about 55-60ish it drops to the upper 40's. I think the thermocline was actually around 70ft in 300fow. Currents were very light today for once. I do believe it was east to west though. I left my log on the boat so I'm stuck using this very poor memory
