We only saw about a half a dozen boats out there yesterday Nick and we didn't have hardly any marks and the bait was up high about 50-60 over 170 or so. I don't think we marked over 5 fish while out there. You seeing any better screens?

[blueghost1]

Les, alot of bait and some marks in 160-190 60-90 down slow so far 0/1 80' rigger took a shot

[Sk8man]

At least you're seeing stuff Kev. You fishing west of Sodus?

Dropped one on the 350 dipsey 2.5 setting and 90 rigger.

Nick yesterday they were even all over the 30 lb flea flicker Mike was using and my 30 lb wire (all along it at intervals). It may pay to check lines frequently to minimize buildup at least.

That sounds like a lot of work and my first mate is sleeping lol

Had some on our wire, but reeled through them. 30lb rigger was pretty clean other than a bit at the swivel.

[john1947]

had good luck with 40 lb, big game last year for fleas,only problem was knots sticking in rod tip

That's some heavy duty line! Ive used Ande 30lb for a few years with no problem.

Getting low on gas, time to turn and troll towards port. We were just too tired to gas up after the proam last weekend and forgot to bring a 5g jug today.

[Sk8man]

There are times when the fleas are so thick that they even gather on the 200 lb downrigger wires and anything vertical already happened  this year on Keuka.
