    Got in the LOC for some customers who wanted to compete in the Derby. The night before Day 1 of their trip I spoke with the guy and he told me they wanted to get on the Derby leaderboard. No browns yet, so I decided to set up for the brown spotted devils the next day. I've never fished BTs on the west end, but how different could it be from home?  Left port and took some water temps... 50degrees was ok... But I found a temperature break to 48 and some nice stained water .  Deployed 6 board Flatlines pulling stingers and two flatlines with 2oz rubber core sinkers along the prop wash pulling Super slims in various gobie patterns .

        Day 1 we did catch a few BTs, but nothing for the board.  I was confident with the game plan, so we went back for Day 2.

       Day two, same set up.... Difference is the water was a little warmer (51) . After we get set up, a rubber core prop wash set up gets hit .. I knew it was a decent fish by the way it fought. The angler played it perfectly to the net... 13.4 on the scales at the Boat Doctors. 

        Blonde chicken wing, chicken wing, gold perch and mongoose In Michigan stinger were good. The Prirate Silver with black scales took shots, and the Green Gobie Super slim took the big fella... It's great when a plan actually kinda comes together ..  hopefully the missing year class of BTs doesn't have much of a bearing in the future...PXL_20230511_105419180.thumb.jpg.5b2e7b74c8fb95d833b1fd3655a92740.jpg

      

    Nice job Matt. I thought for sure I’d see an Optimizer hanging there

    Gee I wonder where all the bait goes :lol:

    And all the pen raised kings and rainbows and direct stocked browns. The USFWS says they’re looking at the Ontario cormorant shooting program.

    Bulls- -t

    Thanks for getting in so early Al. The seagulls don’t like to sh-t all over the docks with a few boats in. I see the DEC boat is also in.

    Big group of snows in Hamlin by the lake.  They have been around for a couple of weeks.  

     A buddy and his group were able to drop 66 of those white devils out Hamlin way after chasing them around for 4 days

    I know exactly what your doing... Braid is not the way to go. I use two or three rod lengths of #50 mono. I attach it with a small spro barrel swivel. 

      No curly wire... I can run a little lighter leader if I'm running spoons ( the 50# momo has a little stretch). Plus the fleas don't like the 50#. 

    This is definitely the answer. If you find it difficult to attach the wire to the swivel, an allbright knot and a drop of super glue works well.

  6. All good info in above post. I’m in Irondequoit Bay with no current and a painted bottom. Just a little slime and some zebras on the tabs in the fall. 12 years ago I went 2 years without paint and had to pull boat mid summer to bottom wash. PITA. Definitely keep your OB out of the water if you have the room at the slip.
