Great job. Sounds like you saved his life. 38 degrees with waders on. Would not have lasted long. You are a well prepared quick thinker. He was lucky you were there.
Got out on my fishing kayak Thursday afternoon. Trolled for rainbows with dipsy and spoon. Lost a good rainbow when he jumped a couple feet above the water! Managed 1 fat laker. First time trolling in kayak. Learned a lot.
Spent a beautiful afternoon on Owasco yesterday with my wife. Trolled around in search of rainbows... went 3 for 8, all healthy lakers and released. Dipsies 3 setting, 140 to 160 feet out. Thinking a couple of the fish lost were probably rainbows.
Way to go Lumberjohn. Nice fish. Has the lake dropped very much? I was there the week of the flood. Ruined our boating and fishing plans. It was unbelievable.
Thanks.
Fished from 4:30 till 7. Caught one rainbow today at 7 pm. Lots of weeds in the water so our lures were fouled up for too much of the time or we would have done better. They were cutting them with the "weed barge" today and east side was full of floating weeds. Went to west side finally... got one and headed in for dinner.
