wasn't able to get out on the water this weekend as I was delivering the old boat to its new owners, and sea-trialing the new one, but I spent the whole weekend in Fair Haven & Sodus and heard some very nice reports.
On Friday, my dockmate went East out of the chute and ended his day at "48 or 49 fish". All on the standard sticks and spoons in 7-10 FOW. Firetiger, GFR, Chartreuse sticks in J7 & J9 size.
On Saturday, two other guys I know went West beyond the pack and had the same 40+ fish day using pretty much the same baits. I also heard from a couple of guys who went East and fished with the pack and barely hit any fish. A charter from town went farther East and boated 15 on Sat.
On Sunday my buddy Gump went East away from the pack and had his three man limit by 10am. He fished with the pack West on Saturday and had a tough day.
Sounded to me like there were lots of fish to be had if you stayed away from all the traffic and stayed on the fish once you found them.
It sounds like the whole southern shore of the lake has some of the hottest brown trout action we've had in a few years.
