5-13-17 Sodus Brown Fishing

Hit the water at 5am to try to find another LOC brown, but it wasn't in the cards for us. We worked the area around Maxwell all morning with a dozen or so other boats and went 5 for 9. Biggest was only around 8lbs. Fish came on riggers back 50-75' behind the ball and 100-150' back with 2 split-shots off the boards, all bronze and gold backed spoons in UVDiehard, Perch, and Brown Trout patterns, stingray sized Stinger spoons. Covered 5 - 30 fow with 10-20 fow being best, 5 ft. down on the riggers, and 2.8 for speed on the Fish Hawk. Saw several other boats land small browns in our vicinity and heard others doing lakers and steelhead out over 130 fow. 

 

Now to get ready for some king action next weekend for the Niagara Pro-Am!!

Tim, no WHI this year?

[Finders Keepers]

No, there was a bunch of things going on this year that prevented us from participating - mainly Special Olympics on Friday and my brother was tied up all weekend and not able to fish. Hopefully next year, as this was the second year for my school hosting the Special Olympics, so that will be moving on to Bloomfield I think next year.
