We teamed up with some members of the Irondequoit Bay fish and game club for a little tourney today. We figured if we wanted to catch fish then we needed to be off Point Breeze (Oak Orchard). We checked the inside water and took a shot on a Sea Sick Waddler down 70' on the corner rigger. He got into a wire and he left with one of my spoons! The picture dried up real quick because of the traffic, so we picked up and headed for the 27N line. We stop there and start setting lines to have the middle rigger parked at 50 fire. It ended up being a 10lb king that we threw back. He took a Dreamweaver Glow Forggy SS. That spoon would take fish throughout the day just like the previous few trips out. Another hot spoon was our NK copper NBK. We had it on the rigger between 60 and 80 and it took our majors, and some great steelhead. 300' copper pulling a #3 J-plug in a Mongoose color was another HOT rig. That took 5 shots throughout the day, and we dropped a screamer on it towards the end of the day which would have been part of a triple header. Our low/deep wires were firing at 150 out on a .5 setting pulling Kelly Green Spinnies and A-TOM-MIK Wiggler's. Our high wires out 200-225' on a 2.5-3 setting were going with Dreamweaver green sparkle SS's and orange Yecks. We had another 20 fish day that was anchored by a 25lb Salmon and a 12lb steelie. We ended up taking 2nd and 3rd in the Salmon division, and 1st in the steelhead division. I have to loose some weight so these big fish can look big! When that fish hit the deck we though it was high 20's! Boy can these fish fool ya, and I have been doing this for 20+ years! Green was definitely the color today!
