Indecisive

I have the same riggers with the same question, so I called Cannon a few years ago and they told me 10 lb. max.

Chaz

Can you post the results?

Thanks

WTG Kyle!

Got home from work tonight to find one guy fishing out in front of the house. He left around 6 or so when I said to my wife that a crack in the ice running parrallel to shore showed up, about 5 minutes later and after the guy left......open water! He would have been stuck 100' from shore! (can't get pic to load)

Guys it might be time to put the ice rods away and start waxing the boat if your bored!

Stopped by the house on the way to a job around 10 am and 3 guys were heading out... I asked if they were crazy... no answer. Got home around 4 when they were coming back up the hill, the one guy said never again, should have never been out there...DAH.. open water all around, what gave it away!

P.S. Now a coating of snow on the bay this morning, someone will try it.

The ice had a funny color to it when I got home from work yesterday and it was started to open up more around all the docks on the south shore. I'm afraid it's over.

Chaz

I talked to a few guys coming off the ice last night fishing from Bonni Castle to Grassy Point and they said there were spots of open water starting to show up. Also the area around Bay Bridge was open water on Sunday.

Be careful!

Chaz

I talked to a guy coming in off of Sodus Bay last night, he said there was about 3 to 4 inches of ice in front of Grassy Point, but the fishing sucked...all day 4 keepers.

Chaz

We had open water last night and now a skim coat with snow on it here along Grassy Point.

Chaz

Ice was starting to form yesterday but now there is 16" of snow on it as of this morning.

Chaz

Very thin coat of ice from Bay Bridge to Grassy Point then open water with white caps this morning.

Chaz

Bay has a skim coat of ice this morning with very little snow on it, should start making good ice now.

Chaz

Bay is open water from Bay Bridge to Light House and beyond!

Next week hopefully!

Chaz

It has a skim coat across much of the bay, but with last nights snow sitting on top.

Chaz

The first 75 feet on the south shore has a slushy ice starting to form.

Chaz

WTG Kyle! Good Luck with the new ride!

Tim, I think he needs some stickers for the side of his boat!

Chaz

Nick, you would need the next size larger for your boat! I was thinking of leaving mine in and just using a bubbler all winter and hope it floats off in the spring!

Drove by the Sodus Public Launch, the one next to Arney's, The docks are pulled and barriers at the bottom of the ramp. There were a few trailers at the ramp next to the Coast Guard Station.

Boy they grow up fast!!

WTG Kyle! We have high expectations for you this weekend!

Chaz

Thanks everyone she was shaking all the way in!

We hope the weather and fish cooperate for the FHC, we would like nothing better than for Kristen & Kyle to have a double with 2 fish like that one...or BIGGER!

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Took my daughter out for a pre Fair Haven Challange warm up. Just got both riggers set and just started to let out dipsy when starboard rigger fired and it was game on. Kristen jumped on the rod and fought the fish great. The fish however decided to make things interesting about 20 feet from the back of the boat, when it made a run at the boat and weaved it's way around starboard rigger, between kicker and main motor then around port rigger cable and line. Ended up shutting kicker off and as to not cut line. Somehow he gave up and we netted her first King! Ran in to get some puictures before dark. It weighed 27.5 lbs. on the dock and she is all warmed up for the 25th!

P.S. saw a lot more marks last night than we did all weekend.

Kyle,

Thanks for saving the day by getting that major to the boat! It's always a pleasure to have you fish with us! Tim ( Finders Keepers) must have paid you a bunch of money for NOT sharing his way points with us, Jack & I need to come up with some cash for you I guess!

Thanks for ruining my first mate.... now he will never want to fish with me again! Awesome job! I hope Kyle stored those waypoints in his phone for me to use!

Chaz

Way to go Kyle!
