Looks like a good day. Your getting in some serious fishing time. Good to see. 

Any topwater action?  Smallies ought to be postspawn and feeding hard now.  Calm day and walking the dog Zara should be fun. 

Didn’t try top water.  Water was crazy clear. And got zero fish along breakwall   Finally connected in deeper water

Where’d ya put in ? Lake Erie outta SMall boat harbor at 6 am on was crazy glass and no wind.  Crappy bass fishing.   Had the Nitro smooth cruising at 59 mph 

Out of barcelona, my parents have a place on chautauqua lake so its only a 15 min drive to barcelona. Didnt see alot of action from anyone around us though.

Bottom fish is in question, may be a small coho.

Spent all day on Allen Lake, then ditched to a small pond that holds some giants but not a lot of luck. Pond is half covered in thick scum but I managed to put together a decent punch rig and pulled in a pounder.

Yeah.... shiners suck for trout fishing.Shiners like to swim for cover while sawbellies like to swim in the open. Big Wave had sawbellies yesterday.

No because I fish deep for Lakers in the summer. But that would work for sure especially from shore

Life has been crazy lately. But I did get up to the Great Sacandaga yesterday for some fishing with my BIL on his new boat. We boated well over 40 smallmouth! Nothing huge but a bunch of fun catching and releasing. Was a great day just to be out there!!!

I took pictures of him with my phone. And he of me with his phone. He hasn't sent me mine yet. So here is a couple of his. Beautiful place to fish.

At about 62mph going to next spot.

9 hours of trolling...thats depressing

I guess it cant get anyworse tomorrow?

Your BIL is damn near as good looking as I am.....I don't want to ride in any damn boat at 62 MPH, though...My  14.5 alumicraft  with a 30 Honda does about 28 MPH top speed, and that is plenty fast enough for this old country boy..Hehehe..

Have “ bass thumb “?   62 is moving. We had friends Nitro up to 59 with my fat azz and he and my  daughter yesterday. Water was glass.  Think he had a little oomph left in her.  

[coonhunter]

For some reason it scares the shit out of me when I'm in a boat flying along. Cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles are all fine, but I guess boats going fast is one of my worries.

Yeah, both thumbs are a bit chewed up today. My boat will do 60 max, with just myself, and a light load. But I rarely run WFO. It's faster than his old boat. So I think he bought this new one, so he can have the bragging rights now!...hehehe

It takes a real fast fish to catch up with a trolling rig at that speed. I once went over 100mph in a race boat. Once was enough for me though.

1.5-1.8 problem is the big east wind from last weekend pushed a ton of cold water in. People with fishawaks are reporting 64* surface temp and 25' down the water is 45*. The fish have scattered, and we cant find them.

i was thinking the cold water too.   Even here it hasnt warmed up much.  Different lake but we've been trolling harnesses at .8-1.0 and doing well.  Good luck hope you find a good pack of them.
