Nice Afternoon
Posted: Wed May 25, 2022 10:42 pm
Was able to squeeze in a trip this afternoon.
Splashed the boat at 4 PM on Otter Creek. Ran over to the NY side north of Snake Den. Set a simple spread -- one rod with 3 colors of lead and my typical torpedo weight rod with a spoon deep and a pin minnow on a fixed cheater.
Nabbed a laker on the leadcore after a few minutes. Not much size and took a CI gold bikini.
Continued south and hit a small salmon on the cheater (purple rainbow trout) and then a 2nd salmon on the leadcore (now a CI SGM).
Trolled over to Basin Harbor and started north. Leadcore fired again and as I grabbed that rod, the second rod fired. Small laker on the lead core (CI SGM again) and a slob laker (probably 32") off the torpedo weight (CI Green Mtn Boy).
Hit a fourth laker on the cheater (same pin minnow) as I approached the green can.
Pulled the hook on another fish a few minutes later.
Think I had lures in the water for a bit more than 3.5 hours. Beautiful evening and 6 for 7 overall.
Ran baits at 45 feet, 25 feet, and 12 feet all afternoon.
Did change colors quite a few times. Most went unmolested.
