    I haven't done it for years but If I was marking fish on the South end say 30 or 40 ft down. I would lip hook a sawbelly and cast it out 30 to 40 ft from the boat. Then hook up a bobber up to that line and cast the bobber out to get it away from the boat. If the lake is flat, many brown trout were caught with this method.

    I have no theory as to what is going on on Seneca.Everything goes in cycles.We fished hard three days with one 3.5 lb lake trout to show for it.I look at it as I did not do my homework. There were some decent fish caught just not by me.Someone knew where the big fish were and what to use for them.

    They will be interviewing the guy that caught the winning fish last year on Fishstix boat. It will be a telephone interview live between 11 and 11;30. I will not be able to listen as its to far away . If someone manages to catch the interview there might be some good information.I hope its not to good . If someone hears the interview let us know .

    Good luck to all in the derby. I look forward to these derbys plan all winter what to run and where to run it.I Fell off a loader and tore up the ligaments in my knee.Im not working because of it .No way I can climb in and out of a boat or up and down stairs.So BandB derby is out and the NLT derby is a maybe.

    The rules do not say you can't have more than one fish . I would think you could load the board if fish were legally taken.

    Same thing on the South end Sunday,East side west side and middle of the lake.No size to the lakers and silver fish the size of the lures.A lot of junk floating in the water.

    Nice Les,Did you tell him we got lake trout in Seneca bringing more money than his Tuna?

    I hope I can explain this correctly. What I do is grab several feet of the towline and drop it in the water so the release on the towline is underwater.Then drop the several feet of towline In my hand in the water.The release should pop up further out.

    Sk8man one good weekend of decent weather and I will pound the list. People think you are crazy when you tell them you win fishing derbys in the driveway but its true..........Its in the details!

    Put me in coach. Im ready to play... Well almost. All I have to do is got to do is ....Respool the reels,check the swivels,make sure new fishfinder works,sharpen hooks. retie wire setups.hope new GPS chip is accurate.get new safety flares,figure out why trailer brakes quit working, replace a couple trailer lamps.change oil in both motors ,install new water pump in main motor,big motor gets a new timing belt also,install washdown pump,Get trailer registered,Make sure both motors start before going to the lake.Batteries could use a good charge,install new furuno transducer,and check the air in the tires a we will be all set. Im sure the way the weather has been other guys are in the same shape Im in. There are probably a few items I forgot to mention. I usually fish the Barney Bear derby the weekend before but I have a wedding to go to. I should probably add' keep wife happy' to list.

    I made one out of 3/8 steel and it just folded it. Held on with 3 bolts and a pusher bolt in the center. I also wacked the center bolt with a hammer under pressure flywheel will not budge. I thought someone might have the factory one they dont need anymore.Figure I better get the right tool before I break something. Contact me here or pm......thanks. time to change timing belt

    When they are on top rolling around with their mouth open X2 on releasing pressure so they go back down. Sometimes slowing the boat down works. I run 30lb test on everything.Real short leads so I can gain as much line on them before they get to the surface. On my boat if a fish hits and doesn't take drag we do not want it. And yes a big laker takes drag. Lakers do jump. 9K in Fingerlake derby winnings last year with lake trout......... So sharpen your hooks we plan on the same this year

    sbascombe keep us posted ,Ive been thinking the same thing. I hear they really fight and are good eating. I hear the Hudson scenery is beautiful.

    I will add something else to think about. I believe that what you are pulling behind the dipsey has a lot to do with how much the dipsey dives and how far it tracks out to the side. Speed has something to do with it also I believe pulling a paddle behind a dipsey it will not dive or track out as far as pulling a spoon.
