Keuka jigging, 5-24

[Gator]

There was fish and bait in 30 fow right out of the gate on the Penn Yan arm, in fact, thick enough to hook alewives on my first two drops. The wind made it difficult to hold, though, so we moved closer to some points to block it and found some pods of fish holding in 50-60 fow, as well. Most of the lakers were cookie-cutter fish, 2-3 lbs, until we noticed the streakers around 30' down over 50'...and had a few ravages on the drop. So, the last hour was spent glued to the graph, watching the jig while simultaneously trying to keep the presentation vertical with the electric bow mount, and having a bigger class of fish (5-6 lbs) just CRUSH the jigs. Too much fun watching them on the graph. I wish it hadn't taken us so long to figure them out, but that's fishing.
