Canandaigua 6-28-14 - Perplexing

[Sk8man]

I went solo and had my lines in at 6AM this morning...figured the fish and bait might still be inthe same 50-80 or so range near the water plant and I was right...they were both there in numbers but after trolling back and forth through them and watching my downrigger rod tips bouncing after hitting the huge bait pods no takers. I changed lures multiple times ... was running two riggers (30 Sea Flee with fluoro leaders (12 lb) cheated and all spoons and a 5 color leadcore various spoons.  Then tried a few sticks and then combos no luck there either. Anyway I trolled on the west side for about 4 hrs and headed on angle from Danny's Ex's place south east toward the Christian camp...nothing. At 10:40 AM 40 ft downrigger released and had rainbow on main line about 2-3 lbs released him unharmed at side of boat. Trolled east side until about 1:30 PM and pulled up the lines and the 60 ft rigger had a laker on it about 2-3 lbs released unharmed. That was all the damage I could inflict today. Pretty sad out there....but there was one good thing the Sea Flee lines never had any noticeable fleas.

Hey Les - I was out on Thursday in that same area and the bait and fish were there.  I managed to pick a rainbow in that same size range and a couple lakers a little bigger.  All were at 50' on the riggers.  The lakers liked the sutton 22 and the rainbow hit my new Bob Barker fingerling FLT spoon.  I hope to get out again early next week.

I fall for it every June...always think it might be different... but the fish know better and are probably laughing their arses off down there at us on all these lakes Hey Ted I had on 22's and 44's etc. and today they wouldn't fall for them....did you take out the "vulnerable" ones maybe?

Same deal on Friday. 6 to 10:30. Not a bite.

I did put the fish back so if they were vulnerable maybe they learned their lesson??  My 22s are pretty beat up so maybe they have some special action??!!
