Sodus 8/25 - tight lips

[ruta]

Tough day. 2 of us. 11-5. Washed an assortment of lures up and down the water column from 60ft out to 230ft. 1 bite and 1 fish 100 down over 220. Carbon Mag with an orange ladder on the top. 12lb king that made to the grill at 6pm. Lots of small bait balls around 100 and again around 125. Marked plenty of fish in those areas, just didn't get em to bite. Stayed out where we got the king and no marks and no bites.  Ran meat, cow bells, spoons, flies and plugs. Nothing. Maybe we should have went out to 400+ for some hungry fish. In any case, it was a suprisingly great day. When the lake is almost glass calm and the air temp is 75ish...  awesome. Very relaxing. One fish was good enough for today. The skunk stayed in his hole. Oh yeah, we stopped in 60ft of water to try jigging for some of the marks we couldn't catch. Caught a perch on the bottom. Lure was about as big as the perch. Landed her with the minnow net.
