SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Fair to decent day out of Sodus this am. Set up in 110, screen looked good, and had 4 quick ones in about 130 feet, 67-80 down by 7:15. Trolled out to 160, where I did several majors on monday, with a fair screen, and picked a small king. It was an absolute desert from 160-220- we did see a few and land a decent steelie out in 230. Trolled back in and did another fish down about 60 once we were back in the 130s. Best picture was 110-130, best lure a black/green NK that i doctored up. The Snow bird (white paddle and green tourney Atomik fly) had 2 hits right at the end. Dissapointed that I couldnt find a major today- I have done at least a few hits on salmon every trip the last 2 weeks... But I dont complain about nice steelies.

I caught a real nice atlantic- which probably would have fought alot better if he hadnt inhaled my hook and destroyed his gills.... Love seeing them buggers around more this year.
