Ibay Easter

[MadPerry]

We launched a little after 7. The level is low, as everyone knows by now. Had it been any lower, we wouldnt have made it out. Only saw a single other boater doing circles in the bay. No one but us in the lake. Waves around a foot, with some larger rollers. Temps between 37 & 40.8 on our troll to webster pier. Water was inconsistant. Nice color most of the time, but occasionally muddy. We went 5 for 5. 2 coho, 3 brown. Most were small, only one brown above 6lbs. The 2 coho were very small. Sorry no pics. Glad to be out playing with new gear and back on the lake after a brutal winter.

Good to hear the water was OK that way. We thought the river water would be pinned to that shore. We headed West. Nice job, and yes the Coho are small!

Thanks,

Used the county public launch. My boat is 17'. I think someone with an 18 could make it, but like us, they would have to shove it off the trailer and winch it back on. Maybe Mayers ramp extends further in the water and at a deeper pitch?

Mayer's is shorter and 20 times worse with their dock that's only about 16' long.

 

My boat is 22', so there's no way......I'm just going to wait it out.

 

Thanks bud! Be safe this year,

Looking forward to seeing both of your reports this year, and the other regulars for Irondequoit Bay.  Anxious to see who hooks that first spring king!

Hope to be out this weekend for a shakedown. I will report if I do!
