Sodus 7/5 AM Go With the Wind

[TheToadHunter]

Last evening we hit the same locations we marked fish in the morning, but after a couple hours and only a few marks we headed in early. No takers.

 

Started in the same area this morning (145-160), but after an hour of seeing few fish and no takers, we headed East with the wind for new water. (Same water depth)

 

Shortly after trolling East with the wind, we started taking hits from steelhead on spoons (50'-60') on the riggers, and mature kings on a dipsey/FF out 200' on a 2 setting.

 

There was one hot rod, spin doctor fly combo, that took hit after hit while the others did nothing for the longest time. Of course, that was the only Spin Doctor in that color, and every other flasher and SD we put out did NOT take a fish. Same rigs, same presentation, but no hits.

 

UV Glow Frog took a few steelhead and landed my 5 year old daughter's first Ontario fish, which was an 11lb Atlantic. The Spin Doctor was clear with a green top edge and silver tape on the back. The fly was olive pearl.

 

Ended up 4/15 in that half mile stretch, passing 3 times.

No. I'm a minimalist at the moment. I use a navigation chart on one sonar for speed/direction/waypoints and use the other to fish the marks. Fish were spread out from 50'-125'. 50' and 75' had the most active fish for us.

Thanks for reports. Fished Sodus both Sat and Sun from 545 till about 9. Saturday put few kings in boat in 140-180. Sunday was tougher bite. Lost one nice king and landed one steely. Fished more 180-220 second day. First day little west, second day little east.

If recall we were still pretty warm at 50/60 down....maybe high 50's.

Had most gear in from 60-110 down, in 45 to 55 deg range
