Oswego 4/19

[Big Spoon]

Started around 645 trolling east of the harbor in 9 FOW.  Setting lines, and a perch/orange belly J-11 behind an in-line fires... nobody home.  Got the same rod reset, setting another line and planer board gets pulled under, a couple head shakes and a broken line.  Of course, no more of that lure on board.  Thought it was gonna be an easy day... trolled for another 5 hours and picked up a little brown and a little salmon, both on Silver/Black Smithwicks -  missed a couple more. Didn't identify the salmon; wanted to get it back in the water quickly.

Hey Chris - glad to see you're back up here fishing.. if you're up here again for browns, we did pretty well out of Fairhaven last week.. some good colored water..12 for 14 with 11 browns and one steelie.  It sounds like it was slow going for most this past weekend.  I haven't been out of Oswego yet this year.  Coworker went out of Port Ontario at the salmon river yesterday.. good colored water but only managed two small keeper browns and one short.  Hopefully we'll have a few good weeks of fishing left before the water warms up.

Thanks a lot - may have to head west next weekend.  See you on the water!
