Willsboro Bay-Corlear Bay

Spent some time in the bays the past week. Monday's weather was just magnificent and had some action at 120/185 fow with the mottled green/white honeybee by Tamiron trolling at 2.2 MPH. I also had some laker action on the sliders but no size to mention. Lots of lamprey on the bigger ones. I set them at 20 feet behind and tied directly to the ring for some nice spoon action. As I have just retired from teaching for 40 year, this is the first time I really have had the opportunity to fish in October...so much to learn..but this forum is most helpful, thank you to all who help us rookies on the water. I was going to try the frostbite derby last year but when it had to be moved to Sunday because of the weather it just wasn't possible. So hopefully this year will workout. Not sure how you enter but it looks like fun for sure, and it would be great to meet some fellow anglers. BTW I really like the Honeybee lures that everyone talks about and Jim is very nice to work with at Tamiron . Thanks for the extras too Jim.

I have been catching them 20' down consistently every weekend in October... so far... Most people I've been talking to have been catching them in the 15'-30' depth range but I've heard of a few people getting the bigger ones down around 80 feet.
