9-13 Rochester Offshore Report

[TrophySeeker]

Went out late morning. After dodging sailboats all the way down the river, I found a few fishing boats working the shallow water surrounded by hundreds of sailboats. I decided to head deeper. Droppoed the probe down in 65, 100, and 200 and couldn't find any cold water - mid 60's all the way down. Ran out to 400 and worked 400 to 425. Found 50 degree water down about 125. Wound up 2 for 2, both mid teen kings. Both came on wire- chrome/green spin doctor with attommic packer fly, out 275 and 300. Out by myself so only 2 rods. Watched at least a dozen fish swim up from almost 200 to check out my deep spoon (125-150) - then swim back down. Tried throwing a bunch of different spoons and spinner/flies on the rigger but all they wanted to do was sniff it.

Found those hundreds of sailboats engaged in some type of race that ran accross the mouth of the river on my way in. I'm not sure why they couldn't have set up on one side or the other?
