Canandaigua 9/12

[cdgn troller]

Got out for a memorial derby for a buddy's dad. We started south of the condos and headed south. fished from 100-200' with the deeper the better fishing. I was on my grandpas boat, who likes to run thermocline rigs, but does have 4 electric riggers also. we ran 2 thermocline poles and 4 riggers. Only 1 fish on the riggers. 70' down over 120' on a sd/fly. tried everything from flashers to plugs and couldn't get a hit. on the thermocline poles, different story. we ended up with 9 lakers and 2 smallmouths just over 4lbs!. small mouths were caught in 120' about 40-60' down! all lakers were taken on either yellow and orange on the bottom and black on the top. lots of bait and fish in the 40-55' range. All lakers ranged from 3 - 5 lbs, all but 1 were natural fish. best action was just north on vine valley on the east side, with middle of the lake just south of cottage city being second, more bait in the middle of the lake.
