Yankee Troller Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 A few of us met at the Genny for a little side bet action Sunday morning on some Spring Brown Trout. Both boats took the run East to Irondequoit and set lines. Instantly, it was a blood bath. Some spots would yield doubles and even triples on Browns fishing flat lines with stick baits. We were running our baits 100’ behind the boards, and we probably could have shortened it with the amount of color in the water. Our best sticks were black/silver and firetiger.Our boat made one pass from Irondequoit to the cross and we did 15 fish, but they were all 3-5lb fish, and that wasn’t going to win us any money. We had to turn before we got too far down the shoreline. The SW wind was picking up and it was getting snotty on that shoreline. So, our decisions were to pick up and run back to Irondequoit and fish that same stretch with 8 other boats, or make a move to calmer water and possibly larger fish. Well, we made the move, and it was the wrong move. We went all the way to Braddock’s to find chocolate milk from the point to the Genny. By that time we knew the SW winds were making the troll in our morning waters tough, so we stuck it out in the mud and never took a shot.Lesson learned - don’t leave fish to find fish! Regardless, we had a blast! Can’t wait for this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priority1 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Capt. Rich, Thanks for the report. Sometimes a ballsy move pays off. We have all been on the good and bad side of that one. At least you got on some fish early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
