Canandaigua - 8/19

[gwpjr]

Hit the water for a late afternoon trip at about 3:30 PM and were greeted by calm waters and warmer than expected air temps. Headed northeast from the Woodville launch until I was over 130FOW and started marking bait fish. Ran two number 1 DDs on 30lb braid with flashers and A-Tom-Mik flies at 125' and 150' out, ran one mini diver out the chute on 17lb flouro with a long thin red/white spoon out 200' then ran one downrigger down to about 60' with a chartreuse hammered spoon. Trolled the rest of the afternoon and evening with this setup between Whiskey Point and just opposite Walton Point. Went 5 for 9 for the day with 1 laker, 2 bows and one pickerel boated on the DDs with flashers and flies all at 125' out. Boated a nice small mouth on the shallow red/white spoon. Picked up the gear and headed back to the launch at 8:15 PM with the bite still on, but the captain tired. All-in-all it was a great late-day trip.

Thanks! I've been lurking for a while and thought it was time to start sharing a bit too.
