6/3 spent 6hrs trolling around front of the oak fish everywhere but no takers hooked a few shakers lost a couple cohos on the coho rig clear water pulled the rods and ran 6mi west hit a 3.5 deg temp break first rod green E chip with SIGGS RIG FLY green crinkle color droped to 68ft and it went off before i got to the other rigger very stubborn 18lb king droped rig back down it went off at 20 ft down on the decent as i was lowering (*cool) this was a smaller fish took a nice run and pulled free N/E wind started to get a little sporty trolled for 20 min then saw storm packed it up .,,, i knew i shoulda went hunting for greener water sooner gave CHAS a call on the cell(buc a roo) in the am kinda talked me into waiting out the fish near port but not today think that NE wind and the storms put em on hold

bump its 9:46 pm ill be on the road in less than a hour heading up there alone could use a derby partner otherwise ill be alone fishing for fun call my cell 607-769-7947 anytime dont care if its 3in the morning ill be atthe oak launch west side leave at 5;00 to 5;30 any ones welcome tgo jump on board sunday 6-3 its sat nite now Ray K.

surface to 100 ft ,,,,,,,, this time of year 50 ft and above ,,in am early surface to 20 ft early evening also same depth with summer boat traffic early should be the best,,,,once the shoreline gets a little busy start some east west trolling there will be little pods of fish out there when you hit em you usually get doubles .... when ya got a little time go to WWW.attheoak.com,, scroll to (total team choas) there is some good stuff lots of basic and advanced stuff there .

shellback you think its hot here, wait till ya get on the chesapeak bay with a gentle sou. wind pushing all that hot air up from washington mens room? ?? i use the unisex room in the middle...

what a you doing home musky ant them curtins done yet, the big scum line just hit the oaks waters today every thing should be stacking up there even though the surface temp is breaking up some but the colored water should still be there should be a perfect fishing setting up for tommorow ,bait will spread out and fish will school up aught to be a good day for doubles and triples.. gotta do a wedding thing tomorrow ....good luck with the tub tomorrow dont forget that plug and look for a busy launch the people there will appreceate you launching for there enjoyment good luck and be carefull DONT forget the Camera were all dying to see you sitting on that porta potty with those lavender curtins in the backgroung....maybe sunday ??????????

Yup do the turn thing,vary throttle,rock the boat ,and something i gotta try more too is pop the rigger the fish is following ... if none of the above work start over with a fresh beverage and enjoy what ya just saw..

not you you silly wabbit i stuck my nose in where i shouldnt have and it got bent a little on another post ,, the only problem with your post is there was none for the derby!!!!!!!!! some people dont understand my depth of humor(sometimes shallow) im the kinda guy who fishes to be on the water my 1st home,plays golf for fun not the score,enters bike races for the free T shirt ,and goes hunting to relive memories of days gone by and days to come,when i catch a big fish,wack a nice buck,or get a hole in one (more like a low bogey) thats a bonus ,, i ant never gonna win a bike race unless its downhill all the way gravity +BMI==speed

I run between 12 # and 20# ,, 12,15,17,works well with spoons use the big stuff 20# for spindctrs, and flashers,,, the one thing i always do is go with a little better swivel and test every knot with a 10# rigger weight you would be surprised how two seemingly identical knots can differ in strength 6'6" to 7' rods med to med heavy act. ill traid some lake onterio info for some seneca lake info Ray K.

if that dont work google,,, great lakes fish identification ,,,,and scrolldown to the ohoi one the chart is there

maybe http://www.seagrant.wisl.edu/greatlakesfish/poster.html

YESSSS , thats it ,there is a lot to learn here HINT make shure you hit the square box next to onterio ,update map and start zooming in leftclick and hold,move curser to form red box over area you want to see bottom at and start zooming allthose humps and bumps in mexico bay are hot and that ledge between catfish creek and osweago explaines why the fish are there

cant seem to get the BATHYMETRY to come up is itme or did the site where you could zoom in block us out THANKS Ray K.

hey how bout the chat room i rememberd before 10 pm

Tom he said great ones..... i know that counts me out too GO BILLS !!!!!

i threw a temper tamtrum erased a few. some good LL just around gleneldrege first 1.5 hrs of light then shutdown too much bait around use small spoons silver /blue, sil/blk,,sil/purp,superman, also some good lakers around lodi just north around the hump bout 1 mile north every thing we did was in 40ft and above last 45 min of daylight troll west to east for some laker action on top like 15ft down 100ft back one in the propwash wont hurt 2.4 gps

usually bass might have limited supply but most every little tackle shop around the lake has large asst.

you can moter in from canadajust have to be at spacific port for that day of derby leave and arrive (i think),,,,,,,,,,,if yur observer backs one of your crew must fill in for him,,,,,,,,,sliders should be allowed as it does not go against nys fish rules unless you run 2 tripple trebble sticks (15 point rule) per line or rod, call the number for correct answers.. me justa plummer..

those stick on eyes you can buy in glow in the dark pattern , ladderback hmmm go to www.attheoak.com and look up lure description and youll find what a ladderback is guess i cant describe it kinda like a skelliton look .grape picker has a ladder and stick on eye

call the fashion police and what the heck is all that glare someone must be standing behind ya with a mirror.. so you did enter the summer loc didnt you tom ? could be the fish of the day .......if they have em for the summer derb.

ill have to reread the rules i thought they said the AM 's could release leagle fish if they wernt netted or brought in the boat..and can be released alive. its the pro's that gotta be careful of how deep they fish

oooohhh ,striped bass fishing theres a couple guys who follow this board down that way once ya get sitchyeated down there throw up a post .

superman,brass orange ladderback low light cond or colored water,flour org./white blk dots (hot),chartruse evening bite last 45 min before dark (hang on) dont be afraid to stick a large glow eye on one of them silver spoons down there also stick a blk ladderback on a small silver spoon for some pleasent rusults, as the water clears go with natural colors

if your flouro is after the release no problem.....after ya got a fish on it should slid by but the ol murphy law could kick in

looks like i woke the sleeping giant FUN is Winning,Winning is a bonus..fishing is fun ,catching is the bonus
