SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

Went to the bar in the dark and had first fish in the boat by 5:10. 5lb king

Marked tons of bait and big hooks along the drop off and worked the 70-110 drop-off for the rest of the morning using a ~3 ft diameter 5ft log as one of the way points.

Boated 2 nice kings (biggest being 22lb off a wire dipsy)

Along with several other smaller ones.

Also had some fun with jumping steelies and cohos hitting the riggers/sliders and the 4 and 5 color cores

Rollers started and so did the steelies

Great day to do some fishing with friends.

LB88,

Yeah we met at the dock.

We are blessed with the diversity and abundance of the fisheries nearby.

So far this year been to Seneca, Skaneateles, Cayuga and Cross Lake on the finger lakes system,

and Fair Haven and Oswego at the eastern basis, Wilson and Lewiston out the west on the big O.

I can see why the fishing is so good at the bar with all of the bait (too much of a good thing) and structure to be had.

Good luck,

Don't lose it.
