You too Mike. Brown fishing is my favorite. Nothing like deck clearing fire drills with jumbo browns. We usually spend only two or three days banging up the browns in July before switching gears back to kings.
Compare the LOC leaderboards from Spring to Summer to Fall. The summer LOC is LOADED with jumbo browns EVERY year. The spring and fall boards are not consistent. I will say it again, July is the best time for numbers and size.
We were one of the last one projects to get fish every year. Rob talked with the DEC and that changed in the last couple of years. We got fish first because the creek warmed quicker than others. We lost our fish because Sandy doesn’t draw as many lake anglers as other ports.
