TOP SECRET

350 dipsey rippin

Wind is crankin now, getting nasty now.

Was a big boy, but he must have been wrapped or foul hooked, couldn't budge it. Did a number on Sammy's new dodger though! It used to be caramel dolphin!

108 rigger goin

Yea watching the radar, looks like it might have some heat with it.

300 copper took a shot

550 copper took a shot

At least try a small taste

Nice screen in 200fow, fish down 100

Large rollers, not too bad.

Let's go fishin!

A couple pics didn't load...

Well we got up to the lake too late to fish tonight. I talked to a couple of friends out there and it sounds like the fishing is still dead. They were 100-200fow. Temp is down 130ft and they were marking fish 120 down. If the weather cooperates I think we'll go offshore and see if we can find some steelies and 2-3yr olds. We also checked out The Bay Street restaurant and Martini Bar, ok really only the martini bar haha. We joined Wayne (stoutner) and his wife for a drink. It was a cool place witha huge martini selection. Theresa got one of their desert martinis made with Kona coffee liqour. It was pretty darn good! We've heard a lot of good things about their food as well. It's upscale and a bit pricey, but probably a nice change from the usual Sodus spots. Good luck to everyone out there tomorrow, stay safe and tight lines! Nick

A little late to this party, but Wayne you took the words right out of my mouth! I've got video of him nearly running over my otter boat a couple of weeks ago when trying to cut behind me. Luckily the copper running off the board was what we caught the fish off of!

No problem Barndog, if the weather cooperates we'll be back out there this weekend.

One final picture from the weekend that we got a kick out of...

Normally the low water levels drive us off the lake by mid September. This year, if the lake level doesn't drive us off, work will. We have a large project and they wanted us to work weekends Sept through December. We were able to switch our shifts in Sept, but will need to work them in Oct. Our plan is to fish next weekend, and part of the following weekend, then pull. We store our boat at my Father's house in southern NY. That way we have someone to watch it over the winter and also can work on it and crash at their house. They also live 20mins from the Hudson River and the striped bass migration in Apr/May is a good salmon warm up!

Thanks Frogger. Headed back home after a great week up at the lake! Hopefully the last three days of the fish being shut down will mean great fishing next weekend!

The video should be good to go now!

Grrr I have no idea why it does that sometimes.

My phone froze overnight and the alarm never went off. Should probably go spend some time with the family anyways. Fishing is still very very slow out there. May want to try that 250+ range and a few good reports from 500+.

Nope, sitting next to you at Captain Jacks

The sheriff got the kayaker... geez we couldn't even catch that tonight! lol
