Yankee Troller

I wanted to try this last year, but never got around to it.

Fished here from 6-11. Two quick flags in the morning, and we iced 1 24" Pike. Then nothing till we picked up. Not much excitment here either. I think the weather turned a lot of fish off this weekend.

Fished from 11-3. 1 flag, which was probably a perch. A few small perch on the tip downs. That place sure is not what it used to be for some reason. Lets hope it picks up!

Thanks! I am planning on being there Sunday morning.

I would say mine had its highs and lows. The low part was the 10 pointer I screwed up becasue I used the wrong pin on my bow. It happened so fast and at 25 yards it should be a piece of cake, but I put the 40 yard pin on him . I also hit and never found a smaller buck with teh shotgun, but I would put the blame on myself for not practicing with my gun more. It was about 110yd shot, so I put the crosshairs on its back and squeezed. Hit him high but never hit any vitals. Couldnt find him. The high part to my season was the 5 point I got with the bow. I wasnt going to shoot him, and actually passed on the first opportunity he gave me. But I started to think that I didnt have a 5 point at home. I had a 4, 6, and a 7. So when he gave me the second opportunity I took him. I also took 2 doe with the muzzleloader this season. First dear I have killed with it.

You might have a problem with floating docks in that area of the river. With a North wind that first section of the river gets rockin and rollin. I would think they would need to cut a section into the parking lot ,similar to how it is on the East side of the river by the swinging bridge. They really need to do something, becasue our port compared to every other major port on the lake sux! Those floating docks down the river are usless becasue whats down there for a boater? All the action is up near the beach.

Let me know the ice conditions at Conesus South end PLEASE!

I like it!

Nick......you gonna be up at the boat house this Spring?

27 Here

Steve, keep an eye on how he bends those spoons! PM me with any and all secrets PLEASE!

Easy there!

I'll be there either Saturday morning or afternoon. I cant wait! I love those Conesus pigs!

I dont think that is a great price either!

OK, I appologize about the late report! 1/27 - fished from 6:30-3. 6 flags 3 pike all hits came on pike chubs. Mst of the action came later on in the afternoon when the wind picked up and the lake started to rock and roll. Fished the old pipe grave yard. Man I am pizzed they removed those pipes! 1/28 - fished from 6-12. 6 flags again and no pike. 5 flags were live and 1 was smelt. Brought the tipdowns to keep the ol' lady happy and we iced about 14 perch. Kept 6 that went 10-12". Not a lot of perch action but the ones we did get were nice.

I have heard outboards are easier to work on, but I dont know personally.

I think Bill is staying in my Marina. We are at the Boat House.

Matt, I too looked into them before I got my Scotties. If i remember correctly they dont have shut offs when the ball reaches the surface. That might be a problem coming from cannons where your used to the short stops.

No need to appologize! I was just tryin to help.

Mick....thats a whole new thread. Im sure these guys will toss thier opinion your way.

Wait till you get a hold of the bartender. Shes a knock out for sure!

Nope wasnt me! sorry

That is truly the most comfortable rig on the Great Lakes IMHO! If only I could afford one!~

Nope, I fished candelwood last year too. It is a phenominal lake for SM and there are some nice LM in there too. There will probably be about 100 boats. It is a team tourney, so me and a friend will be participating. I think first place is $4000. Last year there were a couple of Pro's there fishing it.
