GO RABBIT!

 

I'm sitting here with coffee in the thermos boat all hitched up and ready to go and my son called and he's been up all night sick (20 miles from here) and won't be able to make it today.... guess it is now either go solo or scrap it for anther day....haven't made up my mind which yet....always something The four wheel drive has been acting up so towing to Ontario and Seneca are out....only 5 min. from launch here....time for a coffee to wake my azz up.

 

Good luck Ed!

 

Looks like a solo trip on Canandaigua today.

 

After going outside to the boat I have reconsidered....south wind blowing like hell here (up about a thousand feet off the lake)  There is always another day...and besides I don't want Ed to feel bad if I had caught more fish with my "girly" lures

We're back , it was close to DA skunk only one small 15" brown put back after a quick check with the  tape ....wind honk'n got worst , working shaols blow , skidded , into shallower water thanI wanted  rigger ballls close to hitting....... so after the second time on that we called it......ruff ride back to shore..... and tricky getting boat back on trailer.......wawawa........  .......sucking down coffee now to darn ruff to drink it on the water......

[ERABBIT]

..... got back out about 3ish for round two...... looked fishable...... then wind kicked back up so we pulled thing up and headed south to put waves at our back and fish back to launch.......nothing wanted to what we had down and screen didn't look to bad so started changing and and changing .....finnally got a laker to take the Bull Froggy Frog glow .......boxed a 23.5" , 4.5# laker and that was it......atleast it was a PB for Pete he is a expert at catching DINKS ....so it didn't take much.....  ......

Nice healthy looking fish....good going Ed! Lawn work was calling me today....and tomorrow looks real "iffy" with "thunderstorms some severe" predicted. I'm anxious to get back out and try a couple of new "girly" lures

Good Luck when you get out Les....... Just got back in Frank pulled in to camp today was set up and lake didn't look too bad so I went up to my camp checked radar and got boat ready....... anyway the storm came in faster than it looked like it would and we not only got the SKUNK in the boat we got TOTALLY wet....... just took a warm shower and feel much better now...... I should have know better we were just missing one going thru and the wind changed ...... picked up pretty good ( Hell-O time to get off the water ) no I keep trolling BAM... !!!!!  Ok that's enough of this ..... pulled lines and went in...... looked like it was about over when we were close to the point so I said what do you think Frank give it a go and stay close..... He said OK !!!!!  BAM...... I think someone telling us to get off the water,...... so we did.....

[ERABBIT]

Got Out this morning with Scott and DA TIE....... did three browns , three lakers , a small 17" bow , lost a landlock at the boat and two hits with no one home...... First fish was the bow 81' down on the BFF glow spoon , did a three pound 20" brown on a alpa glow alwife 51' down , the three lakers came on I think it's a evil glow goby...... then the big brown came on a alpa glow alwife 61' down............. the only things we boxed were the browns..........

 

 

 

[Sk8man]

Nice going Ed and company....sure have had those browns dialed in this season Ed

[ERABBIT]

females are hitting now......hope the big males kick back in..... still a nice 24" 7+ pounder !!!!
