Rochester report - Saturday AM 6/7

[momay4000]

Fished 5:30 AM til 9:30 AM. Started two miles west of the bay and finished up out in front. It was a tough day for us to say the least - lots of flies and bees and little action otherwise

Fished 100-165 fow. Down temp. at 80' was 42 degrees. Only went 2 for 3, both kings (skipper, 15#). We threw everything we had at them - 10 color core, 5 color core, wire divers, riggers, planers (with and without keel weight). The only thing we left out was copper.

Fish were caught on a 42nd mag and 28 NK purple thunder - both on riggers on a NW heading, 80' down and 55' down. Speed - 2.4 to 2.9 at the ball

Seems like purple has been a little hotter color lately - although green spoons still seem to be producing.

We saw a few boats come back into the pack at 100-150 fow from venturing offshore. I wondered if anyone did anything out deep?
