Fair Haven - 04/24

[IRISH56]

We exceeded our expectations given the late start, high sun and clear water. Heading east we boated two cookie cutter browns and a small rainbow in about 12 fow. We came back west of the chute and found a good stretch of cloudy water along the bluffs with a little better temp, 49.5, and managed a few more browns, including one real decent one, and a SMB. The fish west of the chute were in fairly tight, < 10 fow.

Just about all the browns came on a "Hot Steel" Rapala, as did the bass, on 200' leads of the boards. Riggers were pretty quiet, I think we only had one knock off and a dropped fish of the riggers.

All in all a decent day, failed to apply sunscreen so I got the raccoon eyes and racing stripes going again this year despite my wife's request to avoid same.

Thanks for the report, Dan. Glad you had a good day. My son and I will be up to FH on Sunday for the Valinote maiden voyage if the weather cooperates. Give us a holler on the VHF if you're around. Kindest regards.
