Keuka 5/14 & 5/15

[Trolling Keuka]

5/14/2012 - left Keuka Lake state park launch at 9am and trolled north and south of the launch with no luck and very limited marks on the fishfinder. I moved over to the west side on a north troll and found a lot more marks on the fishfinder. The dipsy diver went 3 for 4 and the riggers were silent....maybe a spoon bite. Off the water at 11am. I did keep one laker for lunch.

5/15/2012 -left Keuka Lake state park launch at 9am and headed for the west side since there were more marks there yesterday. Trolled across the lake setting the downriggers with spoons. Before the 2nd rod was set the 1st rigger fired, down 65'. Got both riggers back down, set the dipsy diver out 160' and it fired right away. Off the water at 11am again ending the morning 7 for 8 on lake trout

We marked many fish up and down the water coloum anywhere fron the tip of the Bluff to a mile and a half north of there closer to the Bluff than the middle. We caught the end of the bite at 9-10:30. We should have been ther a couple hours eailier. Still a great morning on the water and they were delicious on the grill last night---
