Owasco 6/28-29

We did alittle bit of everything this weekend on Owasco.  Laker jigging was ok with 3 landed.  Jigging spoon was better Saturday, and then they were short striking it on Sunday so plastics were better.  Mid-lake and North was best, 60-70 was the better looking screen.

 

Tried some casting the outside edges of the weeds and even did some after-dark fishing (walleyes?) which produced nothing.  Mooneyes were still spawning on Long Point.  After all that I hooked and handed off a 17" smallie from the dock with a bobber trout magnet/garden worm combo on a spiderman pole with like 20# test, while fishing with the kids.

 

One interesting note:  I tried a "sabiki" rig this weekend, and they really work!  It was as easy as finding the bait, you do have to set the hook though which surprised me.  Anyone fishing with mooneyes should have one of these.  For $1.50 at Dicks it will pay for itself pretty quick.

I trolled owasco for 3 hours on fri June 27th. Started on the north end finished when I got to the bs camp. Used a 7 color , wire dipsey and a rigger. Spoons, sticks and spin drs. Had one hit on the wire, but other than that it was nothing but fleas and more fleas.

Judging from what I saw on the ff, I may have been better off jigging.

Next time !

I'll be out this weekend and was hoping to troll but it sounds like that may not be an option with the recent flea reports.

I was out last sunday and marked tons of suspended fish all over north end. Mostly on west side. The weeds fleas and boat traffic made trolling beyond difficult.
