Owasco 7/8

[mitch feocco]

Tried the evening run again with much success. All fish were caught on spoons off the downriggers, leadcore and dipsies. Managed to boat 6 lakers, a smallmouth (not too sure why he was in 80FOW) and a nice brown measuring just under 27"

Nice Mitch, I'll be out tonight too if the weather holds.  Let me know if you want to fish.

Nice catch and nice report... Was there bait down at 80 foot in the area the small mouth came from?? I catch them on Canandaigua down really deep gorging themselves on sawbellies every year...

Its amazing the variety of habitat we find smallmouths in.

im new to owasco fishing and was thinking about heading out there this weekend.   What size spoons were used?  i typically use the 2'' over at skaneateles  and have had some good success.  Would those work on owasco as well?

When I'm trolling on owasco I usually run the Michigan stinger spoons primarily as I have found those to work best for me. The scorpion size which is their smallest size has produced over the years on the riggers while the normal standard stingers (3 3/4) have worked well on all other trolling applications I use such as leadcore, dipsy divers and copper line. Hot colors on this lake are greens and purples for me

I've caught bass with 5 leader rigs in 80-100 fow on Cauga as well. Some of the nicer ones put up a good fight. Nice report, and nice looking brown!
