Ruff Rider Live Report Sodus 2014 July 12-13

[TOP SECRET]

Well the reports I'm hearing are of spotty king action and decent brown trout fishing.

My guess is folks in the Oswego ProAm will hit the browns early, then slide out for some kings.

With the Sodus ProAm next weekend, I may need to brush up on my brown trout fishing this weekend!

Don't forget to sign up for the Salmon Slam big fish Friday coming up August 1st! $50 per boat and you can fish from any port. 50% of the payout goes to big fish, and 50% towards the Salmon Slam event to benefit wounded and disabled Veterans/Servicemen.

We will also be having a dinner at 6pm, and anyone is welcome to attend. Feel free to join to meet some fellow captains, fishermen, and Veterans. I will post the location and price as soon as it is ironed out.

Sorry I just realized I have been posting to the Salmon Slam thread all morning by accident!

Had a good flurry there. Sammy broke off a good one on the copper. He swears he didnt thumb it, but we'll have to review the gopro later haha. If he did, his new nickname will be "thumb nuts" lol

Got our first salmon of the day, on the 250 dipsey

What lb line are folks running from their copper to their dodgers?

[Gill-T]

30 lb mono.  Remember no stretch so same rules apply as wire rigs.  Keep the drag light.  Let 'em drag that copper around to tire them out.

I know that, but the other people seem to forget haha. I have 25lb on now, but we bring a lot of friends out that dont fish much, so Im wondering if I need to step it up.

Tell me about it!  I just removed all the roller tips off my dipsy rods and installed twillis because newbies kept getting the wire between the frame and roller on my Ugly sticks.  Twillies give me piece of mind.

Sammy landed a small guy...
