Chaos from what I hear the bite on Cayuga has been slow. Really slow.Ive sent a couple spies out that are in the "network" to see what they can find out. Dont go around asking what the "network" is . Its better for your health. If someone taps you on the shoulder in a large crowd you may find out.OK back to my ,our Trophy.It would be cool to leave it at Bass Pro.They would have to display it in a glass case kinda like they use for the Hope Diamond. In case there are some sore LOU-SERS out there. The electric converter plug on my wifes laptop is fried.Or else we could have used it. I just plan on getting some ice and my BIG fishbox.Hermit is going to put me on the fish . Yeah Hermit shoot me a PM let me know what time you want to get together. On a sad note I lost my best two dodger fly combos last weekend.The salmon were showing no mercy. Hermit and I wont be showing mercy either. Chaos if youe really looking for a ride let us know by July 22.

HEY EVERYBODY ! Look at the girl with the black bikini top!

Looking for a good deal on a color plotter. I want it to be able to talk to my autopilot. I want antenna, cables, book,everything included. A lowrance 3500c would be ideal but there are garmin and other models that I will consider.Bigger screen the better. Yea I know there is EBAY. But there are so many models I would rather deal directly with the person that has used the unit. Any out there? I now have a raychart 425c.

Great to meet you guys ,and congrats on your strong finish.

Thanks shelback. There has to be a ton of em out there.

www///htp.imagechaosbento{/img} Cant post the Chaos picture. Must be the filter is working. BTW you get a laptop to download fish pictures yet? Chaos only team opening Ive heard about was for a bowboy on a different boat. I dont think you want that.......

I am still needing the drive belts or a whole unit. There must be some out there! I cant seem to log into GLA.

Hermit in a couple weeks you will learn enough to be dangerous with wire setups. One thing that has amazes me about bannas is they are shipped from around the world and you can buy them for .39 a pound. Right next to NYS apples at 1.00 a pound. Them folks must have a hell of a system.I wonder if you went to S America if apples are cheaper than Bananas? My dog like bananas but she doesnt like apples. I wonder if a guy could make banana hard cider? It would be good for you. Ya mun.. Ill have some for everyone to try before the derby.Except me hermit and no promises of course.

Just a great great report. Brings back lots of memories. I started in the Fingerlakes and its nice to catch something that fights back. More people need to come to LO and they also need to catch fish. I hope you got some useful info from this board. Actually most weekends this yr the lake has been flat. Thanks for the report.....

I will be fishing out of a red Lund with a tan top. Docking behind the 37 bar. Ive got a feeling Fri. nite is going to be a rough one.Looking forward to meeting all you guys also. No Promises on behalf of the Pro Am thanks for the donation.. Fishinman I would like to meet Skeinmachine also. I miss the wars.

Thanks mysteryman for the Chaos picture. Hermit its good to hear from you . Sounds good you find em we catch em..I think Chaos will be checking the board more frequently. Splitshot nice little reply. I guess the secrete is out. Stinger Do you need a little help writing the acceptence speech so you can get out fishing again?

Justt a little rundown on what Ive been doing. I havent fished the fingerlakes since last winter. But I have been smokin the fish on LO.In years past what has been working on the big lake works on the fingerlakes also. Dodger flies have rotted in the water for me this yr and I dont know why. Mag size spoons are already working. You guys with a slow bite may want to try some. The "bite" seems to be accuring a little later in the morn. Say 8 or 9 am its been a waste of time for me anyway to get out early.Probably some of you guys fishing the fingers can verify that. Due to gas prices it may be a Fishstix Hermit and no Promises team.Thats still up in the air. Ill be fishing the Pro Am out of Sodus this weekend. Team" Cowboy 37" Im hopeing for a strong finish.I think we have the salmon figured out but it changes overnight up there. The fish have been way way out of temp. So fish the fishfinder and leave the temp probe in the cuddy. If anyone has a picture of Choas , email it to me. I did a little post last winter about installing a Yamaha HT8 trolling motor. I now have over 200hrs on the motor and it has been flawless. So practice up ,the big guns are comming down......

I dont really know where to start. Last few days blended together, Steady action with the 4th being the best 45 fish on that day alone. Over 100 totol for the weekend. Decided on our setup for the Sodus Proam went out Sunday afternoon and did 8 majors in two hours. So we feel real confident about the Sodus Pro am. Got the wires smokin finally. Got the riggers smokin also. Those big chunky brns are still around.No rainbows . Plenty of 20 lb kings.I cant believe I caught that many fish and none in the LOC derby. Detailed info. is tight with the upcomming Pro am.

Its across the street from Capt Joes. Cant miss em...... Heading west its across the street from Abes up about 100 yds. Ive got 5 days to figure the salmon out . Starting tomorrow. I should be able to get a handle on em. Or I could just follow the No Promises boat around.

We are going to be team "Cowboy 37" . Look us up . We will probaby be at the Cowboy 37 bar. [A long legged blond barmaid]Supposed to get hats, shirts dock etc. I cant remember how many shots we had to drink to get the sponsership. But it is going to happen.We got a room at Abes. Now for the hard part. Catch a cooloer full of big salmon.Got our brn. and rainbow program down but I think im driving around the salmon.Havent broke 15lbs yet.

Thats why I havent posted a hughes report in a couple weeks . Any post of any length gets deleted.

I need just the drive belts. Anyone have them?

Fly bite has been tough down our way also Steve.I keep a couple downand I dont know why.

Im starting to look for a new GPS./ chartplotter. What I want is something easy to operate. color. I want to be able to turn it on and have it show me exactly where I am on the lake without pushing a lot of buttons. One button waypoint. A boat shaped indicator.Leave a nice track. I now have a Raychart 425c . Its just to complicated for me. Turn it on and it shows Africa have to keep pushing buttons to get back to LO.Its got a good LO map in it .It seems to be working properly but I think something newer would be easier to operate. Ive got a Furuno GP37 that I use for a gps. waypoints etc.But it doesnt show contours and land like a chartplotter would. I have messed with the 425 a lot . last weekend I took it back to factory settings . reset the track. time etc. . Got it working perfict. Turned it off and when I turned it on it was back to Africa. Sudan to be exact.

Low center of gravity, Boat doesnt rock much.

I think the big salmon are still a little east of us. They will show sooner or later. Sat I had a couple guys from home here fishing with me they had to be off the water by 11am but I sent em home with a teenage salmon. It came on a Tuxedo. 50 down. Got a late start Sun. Caught a mixed bag. a nice atlantic and a steelie that weighed a touch over 10lbs. I didnt weigh the steelie in It was so close.It came on a optimiser. I now have everything respooled with 30lb test. My wire dipseys are rotting in the water. The sea fleas are showing up. Could not ask for a better fourth of July weekend If the big boys finally show up.

Bet that will be good on Daves smoker.

I did manage to find a picture of Willie fish . Holding a brn. trout in Cayuga lake.last winter.There are a lot of frozen brn trout around Hughes right now my weekend project will be to get em all together for a photo.

Ill get some pictures this weekend. Im bummed because they took Charlies other brn off that was caught in my boat.You cant have two fish under one name in a catagory. We will be back at it again this weekend I checked the Sodus Point webcam and it looks like we will have some color to work with.Its been one hell of a June. 17 and change will be tough to beat. But Im sure there are bigger ones out there. Ive already switched up to the 30lb test line.

They havent updated the LOC leaderboard . But there is a new leader in the Brn Trout .Charlie Bouter who had the 7th place brn. Fishing on my boat Caught a biggie today fishing with Willie Fish. My cell phone was burning up.Willie Fish has the 2nd place brn now. Charlie is my weekend fishing partner.Im sure Ill have a handful of the spoons they caught it on. Come on week 2 days down 3 to go...
