Owasco Lake 9/7

Guided Roxanne, Leo and James for a full day. I hadn't been on the lake for a few weeks so we went with a 6:30 am start. Fishing was surprisingly tough, though when the fish turned on momentarily it would be good for around 1/2 hour. We had two "bite windows" each lasting about that long.

When we started, I wasn't marking much bait or fish, though Roxanne might have had a laker hit her on the first drop with a jig. We worked up and down the entire lake and finally scored 3 lakers in short order on the south end. We had a couple hookups up north and Leo managed to get another fish in the boat. Other hits were had. Depths varied from abound 65' on the south end to 85' up north due to the winds and the thermocline.

We've had a lot of unseasonably hot weather this past week and that has likely slowed down the migration of bait and fish to the north end of the lake. It's weird, because there were good numbers of fish here a few weeks ago. So it may just be a weather issue. I expect things to pick up here shortly. The fish we caught today were all in good condition. Boat traffic was pretty much non-existent until around noon or 1 pm, when it got very heavy! But it's all done now!
