Port Henry - 12/15
Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2023 10:22 am
DId a solo out of Port Henry yesterday - couldn't have been a nicer day, 38F, calm and sunny at the ramp, water temp 43F.
I was going to go up to fish NW Bay where we caught fish the last two times out, but I like Fishville and felt lucky. So it was PH to start. Leisurely launch enjoying things, ran uo to 90 FoW and dropped two riggers down - CI Blue Moon and Patt's Day.
Worked the 80-120 ft line from center lake up NY side - not at bite, not much bait and fewer fish. I was starting to question my decision and had enough fuel to run north, but I went east to the VT side first.
Following the 90-120 edge north, I started marking heavy bait with fish around and above, but still no bites. Continued on a NW course and changed lures to Sun Rise Speedi and purple/black HB - wasn't 10 minutes when the SR Speedi fires - 18" laker - OK the stinks off - 5 minutes andn teh SR fires again - 20" lake - OK, this is getting better.
Landed 6 more lakers to 28"
