Port Henry - 10/5

Post by ChessieMan »

There's no such thing as a "Bad day of Fishing", but today left a lot of room for improvement - launched at 7:30 trolled 'til 12:30 and all I had to show for it was an 11" white perch - not sure what's going on with the lake, but really couldn't find much of a thermocline, surface 58F, lowest I found was 55F at 80 FoW - tried 30-80 feet down, 6 different colors, speed 2.0-3.0 - really didn't mark much of anything either - a couple small bait balls.

So, I chalking this one up to experience and "pay-forward" - I know it's gonna get better!

Sounds like the lake is gonna flip if we get a good blow... temp transitions will make finding em a challenge, last time out we only put slimmers in the boat..With 58deg surface they are fighting good, almost had a 8lber spool raz on a noodle rod!! It was funny to watch... Hope we can find silver in the rain Monday.

Thanks for the report....
