That’s what I’m doing. They are violently fast, wish you could slow them down a little.
The digitrolls you can adjust the speeds. The STX models need snubbers. They stop very abruptly.

Add another lost probe to cannon downriggers . This has become chronic .
CDS, Cannon Downrigger Syndrome. .
I personally know guys that have lost 7 probes to them . That's 7 probes at 400$ + , 7 weights at 40$ + and 7 releases at 10+ . And snaps and crimps . Add it up .
I have no idea what you guys are doing to lose probes..... I have been running cannon downriggers for 20+ years and never lost a probe. I am anal about checking for kinks, and frays. If you have a kink or fray in the cable and you continue to run your probe on that rigger you can't blame Cannon or their equipment.

Brian, where have you been typically catching your bigger lakers? Do you typically run the same 90-110 fow in front of the creek?
It all depends. Most of the time, 120 is consistent East of the Creek. This year, I haven't laker fished since the Spring derby. I did see a significant amount of lakers East of the creek in 125-135 last trip. Shallow usually produces smaller lakers. I find bigger ones are deeper and in smaller pods with fish of the similar size.

From what I heard, it was slow for everyone compared to what its been lately.

I have had luck fishing the edge of the shipping channel. Shallow early morning and late evening and deep mid day. I run Thunderstick deep divers and deep diving reef runners. Leadcore or drop weights will help reach the deeper fish.

Fished East of the creek in 60-70 looking for a LOC brown. Started the morning with 3 high teen kings in a row. Settled into a nice fast paced morning taking browns, kings, steelhead and 2 small lakers. 60, 64 and 67 riggers, divers at 180 and 190 and 3 ten color cores pulling stinger stingrays in Black UV Tuxedo, Froggy glow and A.S.S. dill pickle were the stars for the day. Lots of 6-8 lb browns, kings from 8-18lbs and three 7-8lb steelhead. The highlight of the day was an 11.13 brown that hit a 10 color with a Black UV Tuxedo Stingray in 70. We will be back out next week looking for a LOC king and Laker to put one on the board in every division!

What is the DEC doing currently about the sea lamprey issue? Do they target the lamprey on their spawning runs in order to try and control their numbers?
Lampricide treatments. We missed 2 seasons due to covid. This year seems better than last year but numbers are still high.

The west end also has a lot of browns,but the fly fishing crowds that stand shoulder to shoulder in the creeks over there, usually put a serious dent in the numbers.
If you fish the lake in October and November, you will see that a large number of browns do not even enter the tribs to spawn. We used to troll browns all fall into winter and would catch tons of browns in the lake spitting eggs or milt.

The Smallmouth fishing is better east of the Genny and best from let's say Pulttneyville and Sodus east because of all the structure / bottom there . The Browns orient to the same things. And they stock more that area also .
Why is it that it's always the stream guys who are the scapegoats for why the fishing may be bad a particular year ? I see pics of coolers and boards full of browns from lake guys all the time on here. When I fish the tribs I rarely see guys keeping fish . Almost all are C& R. Granted there are outlaws .
So put it to bed already .
I wouldn't blame stream or lake guys for bad brown years. A big issue with the brown population is cormorants and lamprey. My last two trips targeting browns, there have been lamprey scars or live lamprey on 90% of the browns we have boated and only one over 10lbs (which is not even close to the norm for this time of year and with the conditions right now). IMO browns do not do well with lamprey predation compared to other species. We are also seeing a lack of browns over 10lbs right now. Why? What happened a couple years ago with stocking? Trib and Lake guys need to come together to put more pressure on the DEC and Feds to get these two damaging creatures under control!

I have a $500.00 Elite Design Custom Reel Easy Rod Holders gift certificate we won at the Monroe Offshore Classic. Seeing that I put all new rod holders on my boat last season, I have no need for rod holders. $350.00 takes it.

There were lamprey scars or a live lamprey on EVERY brown we boated yesterday (5 live lamprey killed). It’s the first lamprey I have seen this season but it was my first trip targeting summer browns.

Anyone recently lose an Alien Gambler Rig off Sandy? A friend of mine found one of the spin n glos on her beach this morning.

Good job Billy and Dickey!

Pretty Atlantic! Congrats. The two I have caught this year were a very poor hatchery products (deformed pectoral fins and dorsal fins) Yours looks great.

Brian...You are truly a fine fisherman.
Thanks Paul. I can’t take all the credit. It’s a team effort and I have great guys on my team that put 100% into every trip!

The guys and I fished Friday and Saturday for the Monroe County offshore classic and the Species challenge. Friday we started looking for browns and struggled to find any consistency. We dumped two browns and gave moved on to fill the other species. We struggled all day to catch anything over 8lbs. 140-170 was the best water we found all day.
Saturday we left the creek and ran to the nose and set down in 140’. We were met with a blank screen and better temps than Friday. We went into search mode and found some active fish in 170-210 70-100’ down. We circled two weigh points all day and put a decent box together. Stinger Stingray spoons in Carbon 14, A.S.S Dill pickle and Froggy glow along with Atommik Stud and UV Grinch meat rigs got crushed all day long. We ended up in 9th place in the Classic and put a steelhead on the board in the LOC! Congratulation Jammer with the impressive box for the win and all the others that placed. A huge thank you to Mike, Tim, and Brandon for putting this event together!

When I went up a couple years ago, I fished Carlton island and did fish. The West end, North side and East end. The Southwest section is very shallow. The SE side of the island was awesome for perch too. Just be careful of the electrical line laying on the bottom. We caught it with our anchor. That was not fun.
