The Pulaski report of Labor

Been coming her for many moons an a labor day weekend.
Really for me it's the start of fishing season until next July .
So far it was a bright full moon last night ? Withe the big lake crashing waves campside until around 3am.
Long night so sleep in till 10am today. Man that felt GREAT !!!
Made way to a flea market sale this morning and scored big time. !!!! Gently and I mean like new , Teva Sandels and Bass waterproof trail walkers . Total $2.00 . I'm happy..
Now it's on to chicken BBQ , alittle swim in the lake then yak the estuary for the evening bite..

Big Lake settled down this morning bit a bit choppy now. Plenty of trollers out on the horizon ..
Dsr had about 20 in lot this morning . Scouting , hunting ?? But without a push of fish , I'll be yaking this weekend.

Later:
Peace & Tuna

Nice nice here. Typing on phone sucks . Fish report ? Tues with pics . But will say . Still a lake fishery for them migratory fish.
The band is "smokin" tonight ..

Left the shores of lake o at 3pm . Got to home front with enough time to get paint brush out .
No Internet so awesome pictures of an awesome labor weekend will have to wait.

Charlie , you guys have a fantastic trip .. No doubt it sounds like a dream ..
Safe return and try as we might next weekend , I'm sure there well still be some fish left in the lake for ya.

So here are my observations:
1: I may not have noticed this but the UFZ along paradise is now posted with no parking:
These look new and will be interesting on how that works out.
2: the town wall looks like all the other Erosion control methods they have been using. I do know this, it sure changes the migration paths of the fish.
3: not much has changed since I was last in Oswego county ,Same ole same old . Nice country when peaceful , and it was for a holiday..

Fishing report;
Sat: fished estuary from yak: 3pm till dusk.. Sloooow.
Sunday: went to UFZ to renlearn the area after the flood . Never got the chance to fish there much since. So much has changed up there and found what I hope will be the new sweet spots.
I fished all the fund and pocket water with any depth swinging a size 6 leech bugger pattern. Clint is right, par salmon and stock trout galore. No big migratory fish for me..
Monday:
Took a ride to woodys early and see a rod bent on rt3 bridge. Stopped at parking lot for a few hrs drinking coffee and spotting fish.

All in all a fantastic relaxation weekend . Can't wait to troll flashers & flies as well as nk's next Friday.
Still the lake action is out in the 100' plus range.

Finally;
The salmon river has some of the best and user friendly access of any river of its kind in all of NY:

Nice photos Tuna- nice trip too- right bout the last photo.
 Have never been down in that end of the river- interesting
   That Hen did well up by UFZ- not seeing too many with several  live chicks this year,
 Think I have seen that lagoon though- might have even thrown a line in there by the tailout.

Out on lake by noon yesterday and right off get go 2 kings hit the deck . 70' down over 80' water.
After that is was a slow troll until dark. We had 4 other releases with one fish breaking us off.. Someone forgot to set their drag, so you may find a king swimming the river with a green flasher & fly ..

Woke up at 5am to some wind already. Forecast is 1-3' with 5-7 footers noon.
Gonna try to beat it out there before it gets to bad.

Later

HT,keep a eye to the west,the radar shows some heavy stuff coming your way.Hope you fill the cooler :)

Dime,they're due to run lets hope they don't shut the water down on the 15th.I don't think there is much rain coming to help,after today lots of Sun and dry.

We battled some 5 footers on way back but safe and on dry land. Still a few crazies out there.
Time to throw the waders on and go hunting.
P.S.
Just started to rain

Party pooper.. Lol.
Took the wife to tops and stopped at ball park on way back. Shook my head in disgust . Looks like an afternoon nap is in order ..

As 3fan said,, what a difference..
We were right into fish from the git go (7am) in 3 footers at 70 fow.. I ran 5' up..
It wasn't long before the big BLOW hit and threw 5 footers at us sending to port around 11am..
Fish were stacked up from 60-80 fow..
 
Today ::
Out they went.. Scattered in groups around 100-120 and would NOT bite..
We tried everything in the box.. Zip and others out were quiet as well..
A few that remained are right at the mouth.. , I'm sure DB will have a good lower end report then my lake one ;)
 
They will come, I just hope some more water does too..  Dead salmon smell ..
It may be sell out weekends down low.. FYI..
 
P.S.
I totally forgot my camera and have 1 crappy phone pic from the weekend..
Sure hope the Bro took some..
 
Go get em' folks ..
