Seneca 9-12: wind and waves!

[codybuehler]

Went out on the south end around 7am. We were greeted with wind and chop. I started out in around 250FOW. There were fish and small amounts of bait spread all over. Had 2 knock offs on a white spin doc with no one home down 100'. Moved a bit more shallow and had 2-3 knocks on the downrigger. 1 fish was on for a bit on the cheater, but only for ~10 seconds until he was off. We zig zagged between 75-250FOW all day seeing small amounts of bait and fish scattered everywhere. Finally managed a small LL salmon on a FLT herganator down 101' in 285 FoW at 2pm. The fish in close were stacked heavy, but the weather sucked horribly and they wanted nothing we could throw at them. At least the boat ran great! The currents were also swift. The probe was at 2.25-2.5mph while my SOG was 3-4mph. You could watch as we would hit a side current and the probe would drop to 1.25mph and then come back up to normal speed. It was also 66 degrees on top and 62 down 100 for the most part.

The side currents have been like that off and on most of the season....... my best guess is so much rain raising lake level so they let a bunch out and we see it in the down currents.......... then more rain and the same deal again, and again..............
