cayuga 10/9

[final flight]

late start..8:30 went west and south from meyers. set 120 fow. popped two l.l. on the boards 2oz. snap 50 up 150 back. R&R spoons. slid out to 200 - 300 fow. riggers parked at 70-90 ft. did six lakers 5+ lbs. largest about 8 lbs. now... here's the story!! decided to pop a rigger to change out the spinny/fly. about the time the spinny hits the surface a L.L. about 4 lbs. hits the same side weight rod. heads across the back of the boat and crosses the spinny line. this must scare the BEJESUS out of him because he dives and heads back the way he came dragging the spinny with him. boat is headed into a six mph. wind? i leave the wheel to grab a pole and the boat turns 180 degrees on a dime. this cause the down rigger balls to cross. both riggers were set with a free slider. the L.L decides to add more to the mess by coming to the surface and running back across both line that are on the surface. motor was then shut down for the next 45 min. or so trying to seperate the mess. memories are made of these.......... GOD BLESS roliie
