Braddocks 8/4 AM

[java]

Loaded the boat to fish Conesus this morning. Double checked the wind/wave forecast on Lake O and I liked the early window so I did a quick 4:30 am flip. Great screen a touch east of the bay. Ended 4 for 5 before the lake started rolling. Fished a narrow slice of water from 129-134 fow. Bite temperature was a bit higher than is typical (56 degrees) down 75-85 feet. First fish was on a glow spoon and others were on NBK and Dirty White Boy. For bigger fish I clear all my rods and balls as I am solo. It was a bit unnerving watching the reel wind down and down and down and then
get slack for a bit. All is well that ends…

Great post thx

You did well this morning.  I'm thinking of making a trip to the Braddock's area next weekend from I-Bay, if the lake conditions permits it.  Seems to be somewhat better luck over there.

I am in Fairport and have always fished Braddocks. Not sure why, maybe I just got comfy with the launch. This summer I committed to “figuring” out Irondequoit. What I have definitely determined: Yes on browns and yes on lakers.

By the way $18 launch fee.

Java, I agree with your "yes" on browns and lakers.  I see a lot of people fishing for lakers.  I dock at Mayer's at the outlet to I-Bay so I cruise over on the water.  It's not a bad ride if the lake is relatively calm.

Where's the $18 launch? Westpoint?

Yup. May be a touch less on weekdays.
