    Cabin fever already. My best fish seem to come off dipseys.. I now run the walker mag dipseys .It would be nice to get a couple more down inside my 10 ft roller rods. Anyone else doing this? Any advise? Im thinking I can run outside on a 2 to 3 dipsey setting and a 1 setting on the inside.

    Looking for a couple 5 ft to 7ft wire dipsey setups. I really dont need more stuff in the boat but I would like to run two dipseys off each side of the boat.My regular rods are 10ft rollers and I want to run them inside. Good linecounter reels and medium to heavy action rods.My best fish seem to come off dipseys so I would like to get a couple more in the water.

    Nice year . You have your BT program dialed in . Bear should make up a permanent #1 plaque with your name on it. It would save a lot of erasing...Hee Heee.. Back to warrior spoons , My number 2 spoon on lake ontario for everything was a warrior : Barney: was the name . purple on each end, yellow in the middle with black spots. Hope to see you out there again next year. BTW Can I borrow your GPS? Mines not showing trails very good .

    We fished Saturday stayed in that 120 to 140 ft depth range . We seemed to catch bigger fish over deeper water. The fishing was great. But we were still looking for a big fish. Sunday we ran a four rod program because of the rough water we went straight out to the middle of the lake .Started at 6am fished till 3pm probably never went 15min without having a fish on.lots of 7 and 8 pounders nice quality clean fish .The middle of the lake lakers look different than the skinny water fish. Heads look bigger color looks different. Did a few silvers out there but nothing for the board. We also did more fish on the dipseys over deeper water. Most fish came 80 to 100 down. paddle ,peanuts were the lure of choice even for the rainbows and atlantics. As the poster above said I thought there would be bigger fish caught. I was suprised with the numbers of fish we caught we could not break 10 lbs. All n All a fun derby lots of fish caught I gotta be happy with 3rd.

    We need more radio chatter during these derbys. Most guys are running channel 68. I would like to get a few updates on the leader board. That way Im not keeping a fish that does not make the board. If someone weighs a fish in early please give a shout on the radio.I kept a 7.8 laker during the Owasco derby If I would have known 9 was the bottom that fish would still be swimming. Good luck to all....

    We fished the Owasco derby we didnt weigh in any fish our biggest was 7.5 lbs, Our best spoon was a stinger mag green dolphin best ff was gold paddle and brown and white fly. Best location was three points up on east side . 90ft down. speed 1.9. good luck... The weeds floating around killed us.

    Thanks for the picture.Long and fat ...nice. Lakebound 88 I recognize that shoreline behind you in the picture. I was at Hughes about 20yrs.Fished that area quite regular. Many derby browns came out of that area.....
  15. Fishstix
    I would like to see a picture of the 18plus and the 15 plus brown if anyone has one.Curious if it was long and skinny or short and fat. Either way one hell of a wall hanger. Got to be a good story to go along with both those fish also..

    After about 20 yrs of dependable service Im retireing my Furuno depthfinder . Its a fcv667 color . Its never failed me. Its like a little TV you have to let it warm up . Still works great. Last year I bought a Garmin 50dv as a primary chartplotter . It also has a fishfinder .. I run the Furuno and Garmin side by side.200khz on one 77khz on the other. After I got the little garmin dialed in it shows me the same stuff the Furuno does except for the thermalcline. I dont really care about the thermalcline I catch more fish out of temp than where they are supposed to be. So I bought a Garmin 73dv. To replace the Furuno. Bigger ,brighter, screen My eyes are failing .A new Furuno is just to dam expensive.I have not removed the Furuno yet and I hope to have the garmin up and running this weekend. Ill post how it works out. If it works OK Ill remove the Furuno and pass it on to some young guy starting out.

    Very nice screenshots from that lowrance. The baitfish this year that the fish have been puking up have been large . My general rule is small spoons in the spring then larger as the summer progresses.then mags in the fall. Ill throw a couple mags down this weekend and see how they do. I like that black /silver green tape its very old school . Thanks for the post.

    I also fished the N end today. Got three fish to the boat. Dropped a few behind the boat .No silver action. The stuff that works on Cayuga doesnt seem to work on Seneca,I seen the fish down real deep 200ft plus but I did not go after them. They were on huge piles of bait..Derby time I might but I was not keeping fish. The fish we caught were spittin up minnows ,not the gobies they are supposed to be eating. The fish we caught were scraped off the bottom could not find the suspended fish in the zone I like to target.

    I did not see a fishing report for Cayuga Sat. so Ill put one out.Treman launch. Got out on the water about 1 in the afternoon. Set up with 2 riggers ,2 divers and 2 cores.Set up over 200fow. I had a clean screen except for bait and fish over 200ft down.trolled north for over 2 hrs never wiggled a rod and marked a handful of fish.What a change 1 week makes. I did not change lures as there was nothing on the screen to fish for. I was just telling Willie this could be first skunk of the year. Got up to about halfway between Meyers and AES started seeing some bait ,marked a few fish. Adjusted some depths and it was game on. Boated a dozen fish all lakers ,a couple dandys in the mix. 80 to 120 down ,200 feet of wire on mag dipseys ,the leadcores caught no fish.green or white were the colors . 1.9 was the speed. spoon bite...
