Or in words:

Saturday: got Blanked.

Sunday: Launched solo on the Genesee River at sunrise. Beautiful morning. Scooted, what I thought was, straight out & set up in 80 FOW & worked a little deeper. Couldn’t really tell if I was off Russell –off Durand so we’ll call it off Rochester. Ripple type East wind. Surface temp low-mid 50s.Screen around 90FOW was packed with fish so worked it for about 4 hrs with 1 rigger & one flatline. Very frustrating as nothing would fire. Decided to doctor up a frog with some orange dots. Didn’t work so I went a little deeper. Finally got something at 34.74/17.74 or (104FOW). A Coho, at 23 down, 60 ft back on my doctored frog.

Tomorrow, I’m going to enjoy my 1st sunburn of the year.

Tom,

Thanks for the report. Fishing solo is tough to do. There is nothing more frustrating then having a fish finder full of fish and not being able to pursade any of them to take a bait. I notice on your fish finder that it shows .6mph. Were you in neutral when you took the picture, or are you trolling that slow? Are you allowed to add a slider to your line in New York?

GLF - Going with a pretty good surface current. Sub-T had it at 2 1/4, gps a little higher. Yes, sliders & cheaters are allowed. Cheaters normally a must with sceen like that.
