Was out on the water last Thurs with PerfectlyPat and she was fortunate to attract a fish off the high shore with a 5/8 oz Fingerling. Unfortunately the fish got away. That was Thursday's effort.
Marked lots of fish over there.
Saturday, fished with my Dad, trolled over in Mallory on both sides and went back to the High Shore. Met Pete and Zippy over there. Zippy had one fish. We did nothing. Lots of fish below us, mouths closed tightly.
Sunday, out with my Dad and Laker John (my good luck charm), trolled by Old Church, I hooked and lost one. Trolled Mallory from Q6 into the 10 foot levels. Laker John hit a 16" eye and a 1.5lb sm bass. Headed back to High Shore with the trolling rods out. Using Snap weights and Taildancers, Laker John picked up a nice 3.5 lber. Still lots of fish over there.
Monday(Labour Day) my Dad and fished the high shores again with three way rigs and cranks - couldn't buy a fish although there still lots of fish on the graph.
Wednesday, Fished with Joe F. from Syracuse, trolled cranks off the Old Church weedbed, marked lots of fish again, but there were a LOT of floating weeds which made things difficult. Trolled Spinners at Kingscourt, the Green Buoy, and back to the Bayview shoal. Not a bite perhaps a couple of perch bites.
The main concern I have is the disappearance of the weeds, the weed beds around the Green Buoy and the Bayview shoal have disappeared from the 9 to 10' levels, they used to float on the surface.
Will try again on the weekend and see if the fish have changed their eating habits, let's hope the bite returns.
If you have a VHF radio, I'll be on Channel 68, just give a call to 'Superdad'
