Cayuga 4/24

[waterlogged]

Took Waterlogged for the season shakedown. As some of you might have folowed the dashboard replacement saga - it came out really good for our first attempt at any minor restoration on our 1986 Bluefin. We actually did an excellent job on uphosltering too!!

Kevin and I took his two (My grandkids) out 6 and 3 and fished for 5 hours. Was surprised the younger lasted that long. Was the second trip (one last year) for the older.

Started around noon and found surface water temps were upper 30's - to 41 degrees no matter where we trolled. Launched from Myers and went to the west side to see how the boat would run. Eased down the west side toward the south end checking temps. Just short of the wall we set up and started trolling. Ran planers with sticks and spoons on riggers. Managed a 4# laker, a 3# smallie and an 13" LLS.

Everything worked well on the boat and we are all set for the trip out to the Bar on Thursday.

Met Chowder at the launch when we came in and we talked briefly. See you at the Bar!!

Going to Cayuga with Traveling Man tomorrow on his boat so we'll see if we can do better.

Come On Warmer Temps!!!!

Great to here everything worked out with the boat and that you got to fish with your grand kids.
