Canandaigua 6/2

[FLXTroutman]

We were met at the dock by lightning and a downpour from 5:00 am to 6:00 am so we waited it out then got rigged and hit the water. We shot down the west side to just north of Menteth Point. We set up over the fish running spoons on leadcores off boards, wire divers with spin drs flies and riggers with spoons. Weather gave rain, clouds more rain then eventually sun. We switched lures often ran coppers short and long but only managed one 2 1/2 lb rainbow off 200' copper with glow spin dr with big weenie blue bubble fly. The Canandaigua Lake Trout Derby was on so somebody won some money but we didn't. We did eat a Danny's Favorite, some Cuban Sandwiches with smoked pork that 33canuck cooked up, had venison pepperoni from 33canuck and enjoyed some fine ales. Good thing we were prepared to eat well because the fishing was well....terrible.

New here, new to trolling as well.  After 5 trips this season, getting my gear and presentation figured out, my time finally started paying off.  Last Friday I got an 8lb brown and a 6lb laker.  Went back out Tuesday 6/4, and caught this pigger, just a **** hair shy of 13lbs so I've been rounding up. That fish fought like a bulldog 70-80 feet down.  Wrapped 2 lines barely landed him.  Also got my first rainbow that day , 7 1/2 pounds. 

 

This is a great site, lots of information. Looking forward to learning all I can about trolling.

  Ed....unfortunately wasn't able to go had to pick my sister up at the airport (in from Florida) all tangled up in family stuff till Monday so hoping the weather will break...especially the wind! Probably take a couple days for the lake to calm down after the rain and mud anyway...

I got it on an 25 + year old silver hammered old sutton that was my dad's.  Down 80 feet off the rigger over 100 fow. 

 

We were estranged and he passed away a few years ago when I was 27.  Going through his spoons and trolling stuff is like trying to uncover some forgotten past.  Wish he was still around to teach me how this stuff works.
