I-Bay May 18th tough bite but there

[Rainbow Kid]

I took advantage of the calm lake and took the 9.9 h.p hammer down...( well kinda...) over to Ship-Builders and put in 25 FOW and headed NE...Water was calm,..nice green..clear, but not that Ultra clear water when it is in the upper 30' degrees.....

 

Clear screen until 50'..some scattered bait- with fish scattered....47 degrees on top....I was pulling stick baits and one lead core.with an old Fav gold hammered Evil-Eye..three colors out..15lb with 50' mono 12lb leader...

 

Hit 120 FOW with several other boats out past what looked to be a thermal break evident by the 35 yds of weeds,grass,,floating junk ..ect...However...the temp held at 47...

 

Popped the lead-core after spotting some fish on the scope.took a dinner sized Rainbow  !!

 

Trolled some more out in big water in a small boat,...no nets flying...tough bite...Fish were on the screen, but out of my reach.....( No downriggers) ..!

 

Looks like time to head for the finger Lakes..!! Short bite this year,..and a windy spring make the choices and days to go,..few....Oh well....
