     "Climate change" has nothing to do with it..  Its due to  the lakes being CHOKED with  homes, large and small, all with septics that DO leach into the lake over time, its due to farms , wineries, parks, marinas, that are wherever the homes aren't.. These lakes have been decimated by   the   encroachment of too many people, too many cows, corn fields, vineyards. all dumping organic material into the lakes by the mega ton ... bob

     

    ...and don't forget all the fisher(people)men that piss in the lake while fishing

    When did the DEC treat the streams last?  

     

     

    ....from the NYS DEC  website:

     

    "Lampricides and Treatments

    The most significant and effective form of control has been the treatment of streams and deltas with lampricides - TFM in tributaries and Bayluscide on deltas. The lampricides target the larval sea lamprey, killing them before they can transform into their parasitic adult form. Since the larval sea lamprey typically reside in streams or deltas for 4 years, lampricide treatments need only occur every 4 years in a specific water."

     

    This is from DEC's report of Lake Champlain but the treatment process is the same for the finger lakes.

     

    I think Cayuga was treated two years ago. Not sure. But anyway each treatment if done under good conditions will get the previous four years of eels. Once the adults go into the lake they will usually  die within a year but that year each one can take out a few fish.

    X3 on Deans Cove. Another option is across the lake from Deans Cove on the east side is Long Point State Park. Nice park and with clean rest rooms and deep water a few paddle strokes from the launch site. If your going to use any of the state parks more than 12 time a year it would better to purchase a Empire Pass for $80.00. It gives you unlimited access to any New York State Park. You can get one on-line and info on all the benefits it has to offer.

    All good info above. One more easy thing to try is stop your boat and let one rigger ball down, say 30'. If you can't see it then either your gain is to low or your 'ducer is not angled in the right direction or both. If you do see the ball send it down deep ( 80') and watch it. Then do the same thing for each of the other riggers to be sure that they all are in the cone. Once you have that then start moving the boat forward and gradually increase speed up to say 2 mph gps. If you loose the balls on the screen before you get to your trolling speed then the 'ducer needs to angle back more.  You'll need a wide angle cone for the deep water.

    Caught this brown a few years ago and don't have a measured length but the newspaper will give you an idea of length. The fish weighed in at 11lb 5oz. 

    Girth will play a big part in weight on these fish.

    Funny that this came up. Didn't even know about this until you made this topic. Saturday (4/6/2019) I was fishing and all of a sudden may track log on the gps started to disappear for the first couple hours in the morning. Never happened before. Not sure if the reset saturday had anything to do with it but that was a first for me.

     

    Don't want to hijack your thread but this is the link to the Garmin website for those that have a Garmin unit.

    Maybe this will help clarify the number of hooks (hook points) question:

     

     

                    *********************************************

    Freshwater Fishing Regulations

    Methods of Taking Fish

    Angling

    Angling means taking fish by hook and line. This includes bait and fly fishing, casting, trolling and the use of landing nets to complete the catch.

    • Anglers must be in immediate attendance when their lines are in the water.
      • The use of set lines where the angler is not in immediate attendance is prohibited.
    • An angler may operate no more than three lines with or without a rod.
      • each line is limited to not more than five lures or baits or a combination of both.
      • in addition, each line shall not exceed 15 hook points in any combination of single, double or treble hooks.
    • Snatching, lifting, hooking and use of tip-ups are not angling.

              **********************************************

    ie: a number 11 Rapala has 9 hook points (three treble hooks)
