Lake Ontario Spring Browns!

[joejv4]

Fair Haven, NY 5/28/2011
6:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Depth: 8 - 20 FOW
Air temp: 60's
Water temp: 50 - 51
Trolling speed: 2.5 - 2.8 MPH (GPS)
Bait of the day: Black/Silver Jr. Thundersticks.
Hits/boated:6/5 *003*
Species breakdown:4 Brown Trout, 1 Atlantic Salmon boated, one brown came off at the back of the boat. The salmon was too small to keep (only 21") so was released unharmed to fight another day.

We went west out of the chute, the first 5 fish hit before the fog burned off in 8-11 fow.

Once the fog burned off and the sun came out, the bite in close stopped, so we started working deeper to 15, then 20 fow.

Finally got the last fish on the way back to the dock, just west of the chute in 20 fow.

Here are a few photos...
