    RUFF RIDER Live Report Sodus 6/21-23

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    The video is awesome. I love the 4 minute mark when the Steelhead hits and goes jumping like crazy at the back of the boat.

     

    I must say...Theresa has perfect technique for battling the fish. People should watch and learn from that. I tell people that you fight the fish with the rod and store the line with the reel. She does exactly that. 

     

    Hope to see you guys this weekend. I probably won't be up until Saturday night though.

    Nice Job! :) What was your best set up?

     

    Kyle,

     

    We were catching most eveything off downriggers. Mountain Dew spin doctor with Atomik live series fly. Also running a 3 blade beer can setup with a medium sized spin n glo.Pretty much running the riggers on the bottom. Even the steelie came in on the Mountian Dew SD with the rigger down 135 or so.

     

    Awesome Wayne, did your 'first mate' bring his gimble mounted grill and make bratwurst?!?!?!?!  hahahaha..... glad you guys got into them, cause our stories were sounding too much alike...no rods moving.  Tonight was totally different....but last night was a skunk! :shake:

    No. I could have used some grilled Brats though!

    Way to go Wayne! Hopefully it won't be too long before the kings show up in decent numbers! Can't wait to see your new ride in action!

     

     

    I'm sure we'll see you soon. I was going to try to fish the Atomik this weekend but just couldn't pull it together. We are in for the Oswego and Sodus Pro am...and the Atomik Invitational too.

    Got out of port at 3 o'clock with a couple of new comers to Lake O fishing. Luckily had a couple of veterans with me to help set up, untangle lines etc. I hate taking first timers out because it always seems like some extra pressure to catch fish.

     

    Trolled around for about 2 hours and didn't have a single rod even wiggle. Was marking some fish here and there between 120 and 160 FOW. Worked our way west toward Hughes and the screens kept getting better and better. Finally the 125 deep downrigger fires. The fish bull dogged down we all thought it did not trip the release. I even grabbed the rod and was sure the release was not tripped. Anyway, a minute or so later we realized it was tripped and it was just a slob fih bull dogging down to the bottom. 10 minutes or so later we landed our first of thee day which was a 14 lb lake trout.

     

    We trolled a little further and had another Laker on. I decided to turn around and hit the same waypoints again. Next shot was a Triple Header! Landed all 3 fish and one of them turned out to be a nice little 7.5 lb Steelhead. The rest were lakers. Turned again on the same waypoints and doubled up. More lakers. All in all we went 7 for 11 with the 8 Lb steel head and 4 of the Lake Trout over 10 lbs.

    Good job keeping your cool. I heard the Pan Pan Pan sent out by the Coast Guard. They must transmit it Lake wide because I heard it in Sodus Point.

     

    I was in a sinking boat two years ago because the Captain had paper towels clogging up his bilge pump and water was coming in through the hole where the electric and cables run through the transom for the outboard Motor. The water was about 2 feet deep in the cuddy and starting to come on to the back of the deck when we finally noticed - 3 miles off shore in 50 degree water. Pretty nerve racking but not nearly as scary as your ordeal.

    What to run on Dipsy Rod

    Early in the season I tried running a Spin Doctor/fly behind the diver but the whole thing seemed crazy.  I could just not comprehend that a fish would actually hit that setup.  I am wondering what others do? 

     

     

    I must admit that I chuckled a little bit when I read this. You remind me of my Uncle that I fish with. He seems to question the technique that a 1000 other fishermen are using successfully. Yet he too is new at the trolling game. This technique was not invented yesterday. 

     

    My experience is that a flasher fly combo seems to work better when it is down deep and/or water is a little murky. My guess is that it is less successful when fished shallow in crystal clear water. I usually get many more hits on my diver rods than mu downrigger rods. That may be just me though...

    That've right! Nice boat how did u find that

     

    Found it on the internet.... But, I grew up in Mayfield and Johnstown. All of my family lives in Mayfield, Johnstown, and Gloversville. My father and my Aunt/Uncle keep their boats at Miller's Marina. I went to school with Bruce and Robin Miller. Haven't lived there for over 20 years though.

     

    Oh, and I have an aunt and uncle in Northville :)
