Thorny's Datillios report
Posted: Mon May 19, 2014 10:34 pm
Hi Guys
First time in a couple years I've been able to fish in Jimmy's Classic. One of my favorite derbies of the year. This year I was lucky enough to have Cowboy,Cas and my buddy Don on board for the weekend. We went south on Sat. We landed many Salmon 3-4 lbs but like the story goes, we lost our chance at a screamer. Mottled green mp6 ruled the morning in low light and Charlie Brown did it in the afternoon in the hot sun.
Sunday we went almost as far in the other direction as possible and still be on Champlain. We had a tough time hanging on to the Salmon in the morning. We went 0/4 with another screamer slipping through our fingers. Very Frustrating!!! As the sun got high the bite died. We fished some shallows in 20 to 30 fow looking for lakers. They were not there like they were a couple weeks ago. So we followed the contours out looking for bait. The screen lit up at 80 to 90. We dropped down some green spoons and landed about a Dozen Lakers to finish the day.
Thanks Jimmy for giving me and my friends a great reason to spend a beautiful weekend on the water. Congrats to all the winners. I will not be able to fish the the Rotary or LCI this year. Good luck to every one who does. Please keep looking for Left vent clipped Salmon with an Adipose fin still attached. We had 4 on sat! DNA kits are now available at Dattilios and Norms. Please ask for them at counter. Thanks for your support in the research to help improve our fishery.
Enjoy the pics and be careful out there. Still some big debris floating around!

A little celebratory toast before we clean up and head home.
