Ibay shakedown 4/17

[matt05star]

Got out with my brother (yukiginger) for our shakedown this afternoon out of Irondequoit bay.  It was just clearing out of the north as we were driving up, and we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful afternoon on the water.  Very light winds and nice sunshine.  That may not have helped the fishing, but...

We put out our boards with various stickbaits, and eventually got a rigger down with a spoon.  We fished east of the chute and got all the way down to Webster park and Hedges.   It was a slow afternoon overall for us, but we managed a couple keeper browns, and caught probably 5 dink salmon.   The hot stick was a black and gold rapala, but got a brown on a caramel dolphin spoon off the rigger also.

Water temps were 46-50, marked plenty of fish, but couldn't get many to go. The fish we caught were in 12-15 feet of water.

All in all a nice start to the season for us, though, and the boat ran great.

Hope to be out again tomorrow morning and maybe Sunday morning.

 

Good luck to all.

Glad to hear all the iron worked well, and the fish, well that's an added bonus!! Good luck to you and everyone else in the 2015 season.
