Sodus 7/30

[rdebadts]

Beautiful day out of Sodus on Sunday. Flat calm seas after the big ne blow. We started straight out front in 120 fow, on a ne troll. Not much happening inside, so we moved out to 200-250, and had a real nice pick of 1-2 year old kings, with a bonus 20 lb 9 oz laker! We caught the laker, a boat and personal best, on a mag spoon down 90 over 220 fow. That bite dried up at about 8;30, so we pointer her north and got into some more small kings and steelhead in about 500 fow. Ended the day 9-13, in by 11 am. Nice day.

 

The wanted mag green and glow spoons, off riggers and 400 coppers. Temp was about 80-100 down. My dipseys were again completely worthless, and not a single bit on meat or flies (we ran one of each all day).

 

THEN on the run in, all the sudden the boat started violently vibrating... after some investigating, turns out we sheared off a fin of our port prop!?!?!?!? Not sure if we hit something or what? So strange. Had to limp in on one engine and made it to the loc weigh in with just 7 minutes to spare!!

 

Be back at it in 2 weeks (once repairs made and oil changed)!

We got something submerged in little sodua bay in May doing 5 mph.  Not even a ding on the pepr and we blew lower unit on 200 mercury.  Of course it was the counter rotating unit.  $5000+. Thank goodness for insurance.  Covered all but 1% of cost.

What kind of insurance did you have?
