Keuka 6-19-13 with JB235 and his secret method.....

[Sk8man]

Well it was Sk8man and Jb235 after them big time on Keuka on Jim's Grady this morning about 6:30AM until about 1:30 PM. We trolled from Keuka College across and south on the east side to Eggelston Point then cut across to the west side to just west of the bluff then across to south of Gibsons Landing. We had 5 rods out the entire journey and it consisted of a lead core with 7 colors and 100 ft of braid out, downrigger with slider, two dipseys, and a yellowbird out about 75-100ft. We used combinations of numerous spoons and sticks. We covered from 27 ft. to over 150ft. depths.

Along the way we picked up a laker on one of the  the dipsies  about 18- 20 inches or so (standard cookie cutter model).on the east side down about 35 ft. The most exciting part of the day however was JIm's secret trolling technique.....trolling leadcore for perch with a 4 inch long Renegade stickbait  40 ft down over 100 ft of water.

 

Here is the exciting proof of this new tactic -

 

and proof that we were on Keuka

Congrats on catching that poor man's shrimp!

Forgot to mention earlier that surface weeds and cotton were pretty bad on Keuka today but patchy with areas of water free of it
