Fished 11 hours, morning NNE winds 2-3' waves, afternoon ENE winds waves 3-4'. Started in 100 FOW. Fished out to 186' then circled back to our best screen in 90-118 FOW the rest of the day around the Oswego/Cayuga borderline. Put out a 4 rod spread Dipseys and Riggers. Stuck to trolling meat and spoons. Caught 3-4 lbs Chinook on Dipsey down 80/110 with 150' of wire out on 2 setting. Same rig we did well with last week; Dipsey white crush Glow green dot, 15' Flouro 20 lbs test to Blackeyed Peas Flasher, 7' leader to Glow Blackeyed Peas spoon. That was our only bite for the day in tough conditions.

Set up in 200 FOW by 5 AM w/ 6 rod spread 2-Divers, 2- lead core 8 & 11 w/ spoons on planer boards, 2- Riggers. Fished 60 - 450 today. Went 4/5. Best screen btwn 166-186.

That same rig got hit again but lost at the boat. Fish #5 was a monster 25.6 Lbs King on Dipsey rig #2 setting Blackeyed Peas flasher pulling a UV Two Face spoon. Came off the water at 6 PM.

Headed East out of the chute and before all the lines were out we had fish-on, then it spit the hook after a jump. By the Bluffs we boated a 6.5 lbs Atlantic. Further on down before East Bay we netted a 4.5 lbs Brown. Around 9 the rain was coming down pretty good and we called it. Fish caught 8-10 fow down 6-7 on downriggers. Stinger Wonder bread and Stinger orange/copper. Water temps 47

Some good looking fish thanks for sharing.

It doesn't look like you're missing out on a thing! Are you part of the Legg family from Marcellus?

Launched at Sodus Pt. 8:00 and the lot was triple of what it was last week. Drizzling rain, dense fog, 7 Knot wind from north, 1 ft waves and a cold 39*F. Water temps 39.9 - 40.9 everywhere. Setup from chute headed for East Bay. Before we got there we picked off a 6.6lbs Brown, 5.6lbs Brown and a Coho. Brown and Coho on rigger down 11/18ish w/ orange Stinger. One Brown on flat line orange Rebel jointed Diver. Worked in front of East Bay 6-20 fow without luck before calling it at 12:30. Ghost ships appearing out of the fog was a thing to watch for.

So far it's been a steady pick all morning on planer board, down rigger and flat line all took hits. 7/9 on Browns w/ 2 Coho. Kept 6. Fished East to East Bay where we found our honey hole in the warmer 43.5 degree water of the outlet. All fish caught on an West to East troll @ 2mph 8-14 fow. Largest Brown 9 lbs.

Picture of my dad and his 23.6 lbs Brown with the Starcraft boat he won.

We'll be fishing Sodus this weekend. You were right where you needed to be. My dad caught the 1986 ESLO Derby Brown Trout winner out of Sodus in 6' of water in front of the Bluffs. It was 23.6 lbs on a glow green Rebel stick-bait.

Those are some pretty fish.

Fished the River 10:30-5:00 between Clayton and Cape Vincent, heavily around Linda Island on the channel side. Worked ledges and deeper water 50-70 fow trolling worm harness rigs, stick baits and spoons. Marked plenty of fish and bait fish. Couldn't produce any bites.

That's what i'm looking for. Sweet.

Thanks, I would have had no clue to start that deep. Great info. Appreciate ya.

Thanks. That's the info I was looking for. Very helpful.

I know. I live on Owasco. But how about the Islands?

Where are you fishing for walleye. What method to catch? I'll be up there early October in search of walleye.

On the water at the crack of dawn. Worked 40-55 fow where fish were stacked up. No takers. Shot out to 220 fow and were marking fish in the 70-90 foot range. Caught an 11 lbs King in 70/130 on a watermelon spoon.
