Irondequoit 7/4 & 7/5

[matt05star]

Got out the last two days with my brother out of Ibay.  Mid afternoon yesterday started in about 100 fow, marked occasional fish, worked a waypoint or two in the 100-150 range, but couldn't get them to go.  Pulled and motored out to 250 to check on things, but saw nothing.

 

Went out again this morning, fishing around 6:30 and set down in about 90 fow.  Again, only occasional marks, mainly in the top 50 fow.   Worked all the way out to 300 feet without moving a rod.  Saw a boat hook up twice with small to medium fish, didn't see anyone else getting into anything.

 

Worked back into about 140, marked lakers on the bottom and dropped a dipsy with bloody death spin doctor and purple fly down, and caught two.  One was a nice, fat 16 lb'er, and the other a 9 lb. fish.   Picked up one more small laker a little while later on a cheated purple and white spoon, probably only down about 30'.  Nice to put something on the deck.

 

Disappointing that we couldn't many of the higher marks to go, but we'll give it another try in the morning.

 

Good luck to all.
