Rochester 4/22

[Missdemeanor]

Left port with the idea I'd work the inside stuff. If that didn't work, I was planning on going north and put out deep diving sticks for Kings.

  Blew past a fleet of boats and set up in vacant water. Smithwicks in natural patterns and bay rats in naturals. Divers had gold perch and blonde chicken wing stingers. Riggers had green glow frog and Sodus pt buckeye stingers. 

       The natural colors were key today .. first fish was a really nice king that did what spring kings do.... Little later we had another big guy on a diver /gold perch and he cracked us off! Weeded through some cookie cutter browns and a coho .. had a 3rd king hit a black and silver Smithwick off a board 120 feet back. Fish ran out past 780 on the line counter, got him back to 20 ft from the boat and the hook pulled. All good, he was getting released anyway. 

    I will say, things got a little interesting when that fog rolled in...

    Be safe out there and tight lines
