Canandaigua 9/23/2012

[FLXTroutman]

We had a great outing today on the Brown How'ND. We worked the west side and rods started popping early. We began setting lines just north of Menteth Point at 6:00 am and we boated fish every 15 minutes for two hours. The wires and copper were best. We did get a beauty 7 1/2 lb. lake trout off the probe rigger and I don't get a lot of rigger fish. Best fish today was 33canuck's 600' copper hooked a whopper at 11 1/2 lbs. His biggest fish on his own copper rig yet. He did a great job bringing all that line in and getting the big guy into the boat. I had 33canuck, his neighbor Derek who put on the fighting belt reluctantly, and my friend Rick who has fished Canandaigua Lake for years. Rick kept us in productive water on our west side south troll all the way to Seneca Point. We crossed over to Vine Valley, then worked back to the west side and got back into the fish all the way back on a north troll to Menteth. Great crew, we had lots of laughs, Kurt's venison slim jims kept us from going hungry.

Hi Pete, we did get some good fighters, the rigger hit was out of the release and the rod bending to the water, diver rod fish gave good head shakes and the 11 1/2 lb laker on copper fought Kurt hard all the way in. We listened to some quality guitar music out there too .

I forgot to mention we were 11/14 with only one bow at the end of the trip which took a rigger flasher fly down 81'
