Out of Irondequoit Bay this morning 6/11

[1lastweekend]

Beautiful morning, overcast with a nice breeze.  Went northeast 80' to 200', then on a general north/south troll, never got much farther east than Hedges...Went 6 for 8 including a nice 20lb+ king with a whole family of lamprey hanging on, and a nice Coho that came home with us!  We had a hot hour after the rain moved through, was slow before and after that.  The rigger bite was the best, with a fish on all 4 of our rigger lines.  2 on carbon black, 1 on wonder bread and 1 on mixed veggies.  The other 2 were on spin doctor/flies off the dipseys at 75 ft down.  Mostly green patterns.  There's a ton of fish showing at about 100' but they were not biting for us...All our hits and fish were between 140 and 200 FOW.

I had full screens in 110 all morning out of bear creek heading west.  4 knockdowns on riggers 65 over 110 on a green jeans and fat Nancy stingers. Meat did nothing on dipseys 150 out. We managed 3 lakers on gambler rigs for my son's buddy, but other than that lots of misses.

Nice that you were getting hits in the shallower water, we couldn't buy a bite until 140-150.  I usually run NK28's, but I have a few stingers as well...Got the laker on a spin doctor fly rig, the gamblers and cowbells with peanuts don't come out for us until we've been skunked for 4 hrs plus  LOL...

Same here. Cowbells and gambler rigs usually last resort but my sons friend never fished the lake and I wanted to make sure he got some action so I had one in the water for him.

You have a terrific son.  I think Jack is an incredible fisherman!

Thanks!  That's really nice to hear!  He is definitely the reason we are successful on the lake!  I just drive the boat LOL!!

That's a beautiful king! Maybe you guys hit the beginning of the start of the action near I-Bay.  Let's hope so.
