Sodus 8/16 and 8/17

I had big plans to fish both days this weekend. With the big blow, I figured temps would be deep, so I rigged everything up with that in mind...

On Saturday, we set up at 6 am in 100 fow and dropped the probe to the bottom, only to find 75 degree water.... So we pointed her north. As we worked out it got rougher and rougher, and we had no marks and no temp until we passed 260 fow. I was running my probe 120-130 down and temp ranged from 62-64. I ran a very simple set up of 3 riggers 120-140 down and dipseys 330-380. We took 6 shots, but only boated 2 2 year old kings, and missed a few decent ones. We had a terrible time with getting out rigs tangled with the big waves and current. We finally have up at 11:30 after taking all the abuse we could out there. The hits all came in 240-300 fow. All but one hit came on mag moonshine spoons- my flasher fly and meat rotted all day.

On Sunday, we has big plans to run right out deep, only to be greeted with big wind and big waves. We waited to go out until about 12. We set up in 200 fow, and once we passed 260 we took 5 shots in an hour (between 12:15 and 1:15) on a nicer class of salmon, up to 23 lbs. all came on mag glow moonshine spoons, and again my dipseys with flasher fly and meat rotted. Te screen looked great from 280-400 down 110-150. Unfortunately I think we got the tail end of the bite because we would not take another shot after 2, and we gave up at 4:30.

What a beating we took out there this weekend....
