SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Had one brown on early (sun still behind the bluffs) in 10 FOW, it managed to get into another line in our spread and threw the hook right after jumping for us. Then nothing, nothing, nothing. We stayed shallow to W Nine Mile Point then worked back on a zig-zag from 40 to 10 FOW. No hits, not a single hook on the graph. Moved out to the 120 FOW area where most of the other boats were, ran stacked spoons to cover 70, 60, 50, & 40 depths, put a dipsy with F/F out 180, marked no fish, had no hits, and saw nobody else grabbing their nets. Tolled West past Blind Sodus, staying in the 120-140 depth range, then headed in for one last try in the 20 FOW range with sticks on boards with snap-on weights and spoons on riggers 10 feet down. The hot weather must have chased them out really deep. On the birght side, it was a beautiful day for a boat ride.
