SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Started the morning in close for browns, and actually had a nice steady pick of a nice class of browns from 40 to 70 FOW down 20-36. Initially it was all glows, then the stingers kicked by 8 AM. We did one really nice brown >10 lbs today. It was a slow pick, and we had the dropsies BAD (we were 1 for our first 5..... yikes)- the light hits seemed to be prevalent today though. By 10:00, the brown bite had died, so I pointed her north. Once we got to 200 FOW, we very quickly did 2 fatty lakers down 25, and by then it was go time. From what I gather, there was also a decent brown bite from 20 to 40, but that sure didnt work for me. Also, I did hear of one major down 80 over 150 FOW.

Again, what a nice quality class of lakers out deep about 20-30 down.

The friggin wind made finding the right speed a challenge. It did calm down as the day went on though.

Here are the 4 best ones.

Good luck everyone

Nice job Abe - thanks for the reports! We're looking to get out on Sat & Sun am this weekend - give me a shout if you're out!

Gander Lander/Tim- wont be out again this week, have to work on saturday. BTW, there is still a good steelie bite out over 200, but I didnt even try the boards because I only had 4 rods to work with. Should be good fishing the rest of the week.

Bobsboy- there were very few fish marks down deep (but a crapload of bait!). I did see a few marks 80-110 down from 90-120, and I ran mags and a dodger through them with nothing to show. There were a few VERY deep down 150 or so in 170-200. If you are looking for salmon, they are still very sparse out of sodus. Magic did a major (I think) 80 down over 150, but that was the only salmon I heard of. Kinda frustrating considering I was killing salmon last June in Sodus.

Good thing there are 3 other varieties snapping good to occupy us until they show

The big boys will be showing up in numbers soon! Where was the bait in the water column (depth) and over what fow?

[BAZOOKAJOE]

Most of the bait balls i marked today were 40-80 ft down. This was in 45-100 fow. Lower 3rd of the water column or on the bottom.
