Sodus 4/8/26

Launched next to the Coast Guard Station at 6:30am, pulled out at 12:45pm. One trailer in lot when we launched, 5 trailers in lot when we pulled out.  Turned west out of the inlet, very brown water so we set up right away.  First brown came in about 15 minutes of trolling.   Picked up 14 browns total along with 2 twelve inch salmon. Stayed in 10’ to 20fow. Everything came on boards with rapalas. No hits on riggers with spoons.  Best rapala of the day was a J7 in black over silver.  Biggest fish was about 5lbs.  Water temp stayed around 40.6 but did see 41deg at one point. Early the breeze was SW but swung around to SE around 11am.  That SE breeze stirred up the water and was cold.

Great day on the water.

Anyone know what they are doing on the east side of the inlet with the crane and rock?

 

I have used otter boats for the past 4 years. I always hated the way they would often “go dead” during a small turn.  I recently moved the tow line attach point further aft on the board. Pulls tighter and does not tend to “die” as much.

Work on east side is repairs to breach caused by storms and high water. They are also adding rock to the breakwall itself to shore it up.
