Blind Sodus bay for largemouth. Just West of Fairhaven. Small shallow channel but a bass boat will make it fine. For smallies, fish the ledge in the lake, 1st bluff West of the red cottage. They are there but holding tight to structure.
I run the deep (inside) dipsy on a 1 setting and the shallow (outside) on a 3. Let the outside diver out first then the inside. Keep the outside diver at the same amount of line out or less to avoid tangles. I had trouble with my Luhr Jenson divers changing settings while deployed so I pinned them with very small stainless steel bolts and teflon nuts. The new Walker Deeper Divers hold in place. I have a set of those but they do not plain out to the side as much. Like Shorthanded stated, gradual turns helps a lot.
From the ones I have caught over the years, I have noticed the males fight a lot better than the females. They are acrobatic like a steelhead. The females seem lazy and dog at the boat a little like a brown. The 17lber I caught brown fishing back in the spring of 96 was crazy. Faught like a steelhead on steroids.
Fish in Salmon Creek on the creek side of the Parkway bridge. The close we get to fall, the better the perch fishing will get. At this time of the year, you can find gills, sunfish and small to medium sized perch there. You might even run into some small pike here and there. Good luck.
The tube style rod holders are easier to get the rod out of. The rod butt will get stuck in the back part of the rod holder if a fish has pressure on the rod. I run the Big Jon singles in Bert's tracks and love them.
Yes. I got the green and one of the blacks but need a couple more. The chrome w/ black dots has been killer deep for me this season and I only have one.
Ray,
Your fish is a brown. The kipe on your fish is not as pronounced. The mouth closes on your fish and chinookers fish the mouth will not close. Look at the spots. Your fish has spots and Chinookers has x's. Look closely.
