sodbuster Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 It's July 5th and this morning was the first chance my father and I have had to hit the lake together. Only landed two kings, but it sure beats going in to work early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsif Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Sod, I'm at work, and jealous........What port did you fish out of, and what depths of water did you work? How did your screen look? Fished yesterday out of Sandy, and it sure wasn't lights out...... we boated 2 Kings, 1 Steelhead, and 1 Laker between 6:15 and 9:30..... 75 - 130 FOW. All spoon bite, riggers at 60 - 75, and wire divers at 180..... Screen was marginal. We would have a few fish on the screen, and then nothing......

We were running from 80-120, and most of our luck was running perpendicular to shore, right out in front. We only ran 4 rods, two spoons on downriggers and two flashers on dipsys. We had something big break a fly off of a flasher rig right off the bat, had a quick double on the spoons soon after that, then it just shut down. We weren't marking much bait, either. We're heading back out after work, before the weather shifts overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsif Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Good luck with your evening trip. There's a good chance I'll be out tonight also, as long as there's no bad weather near ........

The wind picked up a little and they started biting, so we're giving it another half hour. Three kings and a brown for the afternoon.

hsif Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 We got out but never touched a fish....... fished from about 5:15 til 7:15. A few marks from 70 - 90, some bait there also, but nobody wanted to play.... It was East wind when we started and when the wind picked up and switched to South, I figured that was a bad weather omen so we quit.

Ottosmagic13 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I’m an avid fly fisher and fly tyer. Thought I’d post some pictures of some recent catches: Got out on the 4th for a bit of holiday fishing. Caught a bunch of cookie cutter 8-10” stock browns, and a few larger ones 13-15” (pictured). Also caught 15-20 creek chubs (also pictured ?), seems like every good trout holding spot I had to catch 1-2 before the trout would bite. Most were caught on nymphs but the largest of the day came on a dry fly. An Isonychia (Slate Drake) or possibly a Slate-Winged Olive hatch was just coming on around 11 when I caught him but couldn’t enjoy the whole hatch as it was pushing 100 with heat index already. It’s about time to ditch the waders and switch to wet wading. The stream shot is where I do most of my trout fishing (Irondequoit Creek). Gorgeous little stream that is stocked in several places throughout the year. The bass came opening weekend at North Ponds Park in Webster. Close to my personal best on the fly rod, not sure on the weight unfortunately. The pattern I caught him on was the Sculpin I’d tied (pictured). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodbuster Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Some absolute bangers so far today. Hitting 100' in front of the state park. It was so crazy at daybreak we couldn't run more than two rods. Everything on flashers and flies. Edited July 14, 2018 by sodbuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I leave for the 1000 Islands a week from today and have my fishing gear spread out on the dining room table. My Wife has given me until noon today to transfer it back into the garage as we are having a party today. Like her Grandmother’s 90th Birthday is more important than making sure my fishing gear is all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headed to Erie out of Sturgen Point in the morning...... did 11 Walleye with Weave on Thursday. Hell, yeah. Had a great time too. And a few meal bags of fresh walleye ain’t too shabby. Hsif knows how to find fish. I’m sure you’ll get your share tomorrow. Watch the bumpy weather that might show. Sunday at dawn I plan to be in the kayak on a small lake nearby looking for walleyes. Or crappies. I won’t turn those down either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 In the 1000 Islands this week and My Mom, who never fishes asked if I could teach her how to drop shot for Bass. Within ten minutes she catches a 5lb Smallie. I however cannot catch a fish to save my life this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm going to have to stop by here more often, I notice in the last few posts you do mostly fresh water fishing. I'm trying to remember but it's been a long time since I fly-fished or was out on fresh water. The last few years I've been doing all salt water fishing.
