Tuesday I-Bay Report

[UpGrady]

Well... the dirty rotten filthy skunk rode me hard all day today... been quite a while since I fished a decent day with nothing to show for it...

One bite off Shipbuilders in tight this morning, then worked out to 150-200 fow in 44-45 degree water... a few random marks, but no takers anywhere to be found from the surface to 100 ft down...

I have been humbled... back at it again on Saturday.

Welcome to my world Hans. Glad I'm not alone though.

The Irondequoit Bay area continues to be a disappointment.

How far back do you run off the boards and the riggers?

I've been at about 100-125 on the boards and 60-75 on the riggers

with a down speed target of 2.1.

Frank,

I am blaming the goofy weather for lack of a better thing to do. I did not feel that the water was too clear offshore, it had a bit of color to it and the temps were inline with what I would expect to find this time of the year, so I was hopeful in finding some action out there, but not a thing.

Inshore browns:

I typically run board lines a minimum of 125' back, up to 175 at times. My rigger lines are generally 50' back 3' down.

Offshore:

Board lines 100-125', rigger lines generally about 8-10' on my deeper sets and 15-30' on shallower sets. I usually do not go longer than 8' leads once the riggers are below 50'.
