Launched at 530 got first laker at 630 and it was steady up until 9am and then it shutdown hard! This is the first trip I was skunked on silvers and my trusty silver bullet JPlug came up empty! It seems the thermocline is setting up at about 95 feet and we had most out action at 90 on yellow orange spoons with a Mountain Dew paddle flasher. We had zero hits on the glow green spin doctors and plain silver which usually is the hot setup at Canandaigua for me!

Bike, what size cowbells were you using? I have a couple hammerhead 4/0 and I am wondering if they are to big? I am planning on spending a week at Keuka in August Anthony

Nice rainbow Dylan

This morning started out On the east side of deans with some unexpected rain and loosing a favorite DW 2 face green / black while fighting a lake trout within 5 min of setting. We reset with a similar style Green and Yellow DW and got back into the bite! We caught everything on green colors with yellow accents with spin doctors on the bottom stack for lakers! I was marking cleaner water south of the Aurora point In 150 to 170 and was able stay away from the crowd picking 2 bows and 2 good size lakers! We had a bunch of missed releases and lost 2 super close to the boat. Pretty steady action all morning!

Great Job!

We left rochester at 430 while it was still raining and it stopped as soon as we got to the south end launch in woodville bout 515. we struggled for the first few hours with weeds submerged about 30 to 40 foot down. Also the southend was a total washout and muddy. once we finally got about a mile north of the launch we had some better luck, water was clear and we had better luck! The wife struggled to get this beautiful bow in the boat took about 15 min! We are planning on hitting deans Friday morning with my old man!

Nice fish! I used the Willis knot to attach fluorocarbon to leadcore. https://images.app.goo.gl/cgshmEfKRZHmrDpr5

Launched out of deans cove for the first time and shot across the lake and setup in 200 with the riggers set at 75 for lakers and 50 for the bows. we found a bait pod at 150 and every time we went past it the poles lit up until about 930 and the bite died hard. we managed to get 3 in the boat and lost a bunch. 1 on a broken mono leader, 3 jumped off on the rainbow spread at 50 and we got a bunch of releases on 75. fun day maybe we will be back next Saturday?

On the water at 530 to 1030 boated 2 and had about 6 releases. I was using some NK silver Magnums I got off eBay that I should of sharpened ahead of time, shame on me. I was about 70 feet down stacked at 15 feet with magnums on spin doctors on the bottom and silver jplugs on top. I swear this lake only likes silver and no UV! hoping to be out next Friday when the moon is in a waning crescent.

Fished the south end this morning from 530 to 930 and got 2 lakers in the boat and 3 that jumped off. One was a rainbow that jumped about a foot out when my youngest was on the retrieval and snapped the swivel. Spindoctors with 32 inch leaders with old school NBK silver was the ticket for lakers. The rainbow hit on my upper stack on a silver plug.

Men, My 16 year old and my #2 on board called the DEC Monday and they confirmed the docks should be in today! I am guessing with current going’s on that it will most likely be tomorrow. our plan is to have lines in the water by 5:15 Saturday morning! Anthony

I will be out in iBAY tomorrow for most of the day. I live right down the street from the big lake and did a recon on the mud-line and it seems like it's pretty close to shore. 5853545058

Oh look at that tail!

On the water at 7am in at 11:30 am went 5 for 9 on browns from 30 to 15 fow. Inline planers with rapala stickbaits got 3 in the boat and the riggers with spoons got the other 2. Had a lot of luck with the pro weight system on the planers in front of Webster park and ship builders creek. UV colors in the morning and Silver once the sun was a little higher in the sky!
