Yankee Troller Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Saturday 4/19 - We left the dock about 6:30am and choose to go West. We figured the traffic would be non-existent, and we were right. The only boats down there were the Hooked Up, and ours. The bite didn't start for us until about Long Pond, but the pocket at Braddocks was just silly! As many as you wanted! WE took our limit out of there with some nicer fish starting to show up. With the exception of one Steelbow, and a few Cohos, it was mostly a Brown Trout bite. We heard of a few Kings being taken in this water the past few days, but we just couldn't stumble upon one. We ran our 3 Cannons down 4'-7' and 50'-60' back, 6 flat lines from 120'-150' back, and two split shot rigs back 100'. Hot baits were the Stinger Glow Frog, Stinger Sea Sick Waddler, and Stinger Glow Mixed Veggies. As for stick baits Firetiger, Black and Silver, and Perch were all good. Mostly natural colors, but the bright stuff shinned in the dirtier water. FYI.....The Coho seemed to be a few feet deeper than the Brownies hitting Coho type stuff. Sunday 4/20 - Our clients that were supposed to fish the afternoon on 4/19 and the morning of 4/20 no call no showed, so we did the next best thing. Took the ol' man out for his maiden voyage for 2014. We left the dock around 6:30am and hooked left again headed West. The plan was to fish down to the Oak. We started at Cresent Beach, and the bite was just plain STUPID! From the Ponds to Lighthouse was AMAZING! 25 fish hit the deck before 8:30am. We were an Atlantic away from a Lake Ontario Grand Slam. We ended with 3 Kings, 3 Lake Trout, 3 Pike, 3 or 4 Coho, 2 Rainbows, and over 60 Brown Trout. Four guys worked the back of the boat slamming rods in as fast as we could after boating a fish. Our Cannon downriggers were firing with the Stinger Sea Sick Waddlers as well as the Glow Froggy back 50-60. Our hot sticks on the boards were two Bagley's we've never run before. One was a green and yellow, and the other was a black and silver. My brother picked them out in the dark thinking they were something else. They may see a little more soak time in the future! Other hot sticks were firetiger, white, and Perch. The Kings took both rigger boats as well as one of the Bagley's stick baits. It was a pretty amazing day! Another great stretch was from Eagle Creek to the small flats. We picked away at them there on our pass through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
