With such great access to the Lake and it's bays we decided to take the girls perch fishing Sunday morning on Sodus. We got there about 8am and hit the water. We moved and moved and moved, but we just couldn't get any schools on the graph. About 10:30am Captain Jack's breakfast was calling our names. Over breakfast we decided to head out to the lake and give it a go for a little while. None of us had ever fished this early in the season. We hung a left out the chute, put her on plane, and ran a few miles West. We sat down and started to rig. We ran six flat lines using baby Z-boards. Boy are those things nice for Spring Brown Trout fishing! We used various Rapala, Rebel, and Smithwick stick baits run anywhere from 100-150' back. Once we were set-up we felt that one fish would make our day! The water temps were cold and all we found was 35.9-36.1. We were also able to locate some colored water.

The first fish didn't take long, and not long after that the second one came. We quickly found our troll and worked the colored water, which was moving West, for about 2.5/3 hours. We ended the day with close to 30 bites. One pushed 10-11 pounds, a few in the 6-8 pound range, and then your typical cookie cutter Spring Brown Trout. Many doubles, one triple, and we came close to a quad. We worked 7' of water out to 30' of water off one of the points a few clicks West of Sodus. Speed on the graph was 1.4-1.7 on the paddle wheel, but I think we were a little faster than that on GPS. Either way it was a blast, and we answered a question many people have been asking lately. You can catch them out there in the dead of Winter. You just have to be able to get out there to experience it!

Here is some Brown Trout Porn!

Thanks guys! It scratched the itch for sure, but it wasn't enough! This weekend is looking cold! Might be a few weeks before we get back out unfortunately.
