Yankee Troller

6/29 - practiced for the Avon Anglers tourney on Keuka lake. What a disapointment. I have heard a lot of good things from this lake. We caught 3 keepers all day. What a crystal clear/tough lake. We saw fish all over the place, but htey seemed to have lock jaw. Congrats to whoever won that tourney. If you want pickerel GO THERE! 6/30 - Went to Conesus and had a steller day! ME and my buddy kept our 5 biggest fish. In the end it was me with 15.4 and him with 16 even. Great day and a lot of nice fish. Our biggest five combined weighed in at 19.3lbs. All on soft plastics and jigs. 7/1 - Took my GF's 14yr old brother to Irondequoit. Got on the water around 12 and fished till 4. I was gtaking it easy on him until he said we were ited 3-3. OK, GAME ON! Broke out the senko and light his arse up!:laugh: He finally dropped the tourney and I went back to my jig. Caught a beauty that weighed 4.8 on my digital. Took a bunch of other 3lb fish on the jig. I would hjave had a 17lb bag fairly easy. Gotta love that place!

I have a friend in Dansville that is doing SWET wrk and winning a lo tof awards for it. He id my Largemouth last year and it came out amazing. Lanes Taxidermy

Dud I got one for you. If you want to call me I can forward thier number to you. 5857047996.

Yeah GTN, he found out that the school of Lakers migrated West and to keep on top of them he moved his operation.

Hey, the Runnin Rebel and the Yankee Troller are going to have to behave themselves out there on Sunday! See ya out there Jerry!

Where were you two months ago!

They are easy to catch! Go to Lake Erie or Quite. It would be like me saying King Salmon fishing on Erie is tough and I hate it. OK, I know the 1000 Islands area has more Walleye than Erie has Salmon, but ou get my point. Bass put up nice fights! And its one on one with them unlike Salmon fishing where there are 3-6 guys on board.

When Im bored at night I will go down and fish for them, but Im not gonna target something that doesnt fight back! Thats why I target Salmon on the lake and not Lakers!

June 9&10 - Caught some good LM on bays relating to structure like breakwalls and wood. They were hitting Senkos, and Jigs fairly well. Smallmouth were hanging in 8-12' of water but ther size wasnt there. June 16 - Found the larger SM and they were chaising schools of emerald shiners in 6-12 FOW. Jerkbaits worked the best, but when you couldnt see them I was drop-shotting them off the ledges. June 16th registration for state tourney - Found out I couldnt fish the state tourney due to the fact I never paid a new national due. :evil: :evil: :evil: SOB! I had about 12-13lbs located in 3 fish that I could of plucked first thing tourney morning. Anything after that was bonus. So there goes the summer! No dreams of the state team this year. June 17th - Fished an open tourney on Sodus and did average with about 10lbs. Fishing was tough for the biog guys. As many 1-1.5lb bucks as you wanted though.

I run 25lb on my rigger rods. Then from the doc to the fly its 50lb Big Game. If your worried about loosing everything you have no confidence in your line and need to get rid of it. The part taking the beating from the teeth of the salmon is what you have to worry about, and thats the stuff from teh doc to the fly.

Dude.....u need to put 50lb on them fly leaders!

Come on now ladies!

Supposedly the blonde in the video was Tiffany Lakosky from getting close......what a hottie!

Hey guys a spoon that was REALLY hot for me throughout May was a NK 28 Blue Dolphin with an orage ladderback right down the center. I will try to get pics up this week. I know a few other lure companies make this spoon, but I had to tape up my own. Give her a shot when your out there and Im sure it will produce for you!

Jax, I hear speed plays a big role in your life

Nice brownies boys! I hope im not fishing for them in 3 weeks!

Yeah, just like all I can catch are Kings! So your saying there are other species in lake Ontario?

Hey, whatever you guys did to speed it up THANKS!

SMOKED EM! Fishing was on tonight. Finally got out to do some bass fishing after all of these Salmon charters and tournaments. Man did it feel good! Biggest was a 4.4 LM and there were also a couple in the 3lb range. Overall I had upwards of 30 LM. Went through a few packs of 4" Senkos and about a dozen 4" power worms. Headed to Oneida this weekend to begin practice for the state tourney. Wish me luck!

John I ripped through there the other week in my bass boat and never had a problem b/c i wasnt drafting anything. Onthe way in i had to come off plane b/c a boat was coming out. He was hugging the west side of the channel so I was like what the heck and went left. Well I figured out why! I was hitting with the bass rig. Stay to the west in the channel b/c its deeper.

The bass thing is about to start! Im going to be on Oneida, practicing for the state tournament on Sunday of opening weekend, both days this weekend and Friday and Saturday next week. I need to get into the swing of things because I have been trolling for too damn long! Wish me luck! I'll keep an eye out for the delivery. I talked with Andy too about gettig you guys a cottage instead of a room above a bar. He's going to look into it since he is the Mayor of Wilson! You know you guys cuold always come down and observe for us! Im looking for an observer for the Oswego Pro-Am if you are interested!

Thanks Jimmy!

Nope, they are black in color with about a 6" chartruse tip.
