Third run out of Irondequoit

[Sea-IV]

Well guys to say the least this has been a very interesting season so far.

I have tried to the west as far as Sandy and to the east to Gonna from 100-400 fow. I have had the whole.box out there and come up with a few teeners and a lot of skippers.Today however was the most eventful being one of my copper rigs came apart at the backing so lost everything, then the rain came through just as a wire rod fired of with a 10# laker. Then it was back to skippers. I don't know what to say or do anymore very confusing out there. Water temps were 63 on top to 44 down 55. I wish I had better to report but that's all I have for now.

If your looking for advice try fishing 10-20ft down over the depths you mentioned, it seems like that's where allot of guys have been having luck. I don't know, just my two cents.. Good luck

^{Sea-4, I'm not sure you are looking for advice or not, but:}

 

^{Fish are there as you can see from all the reports. In fact, it has been one of the best springs I can ever remember so let's see if we can help you:}

 

^{1.) If you want some of the big boys, you need to fish deeper (See Yankee Troller's report), but it has been a smorgasboard in the top 40' for smaller fish and a mixed bag of all species.}

^{2.) You have the depth figured out, but I'd spread out your presentation with some junk lines such as surface lines with a keel weight or split shot and add a few lead core lines off the boards}

^{3.) Put some green spoons in there, put some red spoons up high and on cheaters, put out some glow spoons and some black stuff like a SSW.}

^{4.) Change your speed - my best sog was between 2.4-3.1 mph with a Subtroll down speed between 2.0-2.4.}

Yah I have tried almost all but the surface lines and weight. Green is always my color with a mix of natural colors which honestly has been producing the best for me so far. I just have to put in more time, you see I have all new gear this year right down to the boat so dialing things in is just taking me a bit longer than usual. When I was out west at the begining of spring I couldn't go wrong with anything so I am sure I will narrow it down. Thank you for the info as I will try anything out here at this point.

We went out Sunday nite off I Bay and went 7 for 10 in 2 hrs. Top 40fow over 250fow seem to be the best. Mostly steelhead on 1oz split shot rigs off the boards pulling michigan stingers and pink challenger stick baits. Took a few on the down riggers set 30 and 40 down with black and orange NK28s also.
