  1. Don't get your knickers twisted?   Seriously?   So perch is our personal resident expert on the sturgeon.  Are you really stating that you know more than the experts about populations and survival rates?  Maybe i misinterpreted your statement but I don't think so.  The self serving imposed right by a few lawbreakers to fish for an endangered species really bugs me.  There are reasons they are NOT to be targeted, period.  Abide by it or don't.  It's quite simple.  Believe me, my knickers are twisted and if I can do anything to prevent it I will.  Now that the Moose population is exploding in the ADK's according to some joe schmo I will choose to hunt them instead of target sturgeon.

  2. They sure are a blast to catch. After I released that fish I ran back to the cottage to grab my son from his slumber and went back to the same area figuring we could get a couple more. Used the 10 and seven color with spoons again and only managed 7 perch. Freekin unreal. Three of them were huge. My son was beat after reeling in those from so far away. We did it for about an hour. A quick swim and then home for bocce and lunch. Was a fun morning.

  3. Hey Guys,

     

    Had a wonderful time on Cayuga last week with the family.  The week started off strong on monday morning.  Went out solo fishing two dipsies with spinnies and flies and a 10 color with DW spoon.  Wound up with 3 small lakers, two small salmon and a small bow.  Lost about 5 other fish.  50/50 on spoon and dipsy bite.

    Tues am solo again with just two fish on spoons.  One nice 6 lb bow and 3lb bow both boxed because both eyes were hooked on both fish.

    Wed morn solo and nada.  fleas and weeds really bad.

    Thurs morn ditto.  Took the wife out for a quick troll early eve.  couple quick tugs but that was it.

    Friday switched to a seven and 10 color and 1 dipsy all with spoons since I hadn't had a strike on a dipsy since Monday.  1 small bow and 2 small salmon.  Then it happend.  While pulling the dipsy line in 70 ft of water i look and the ff and pass over the biggest bait pod i have seen all week with fish around them.  Just get the dipsy in and the 10 color starts ripping like I was on the big lake.  I adjust the drag slightly and can feel the fishes weight.  Start immediatly thinking it is a wall hanger, (not that I would), comparing this fish to the 6 lb bow that put up an impressive fight.  The first several runs take off another 100 ft. then the battle begins to regain the 500 ft of line that is out.  The steady give and take continues for the next ten minutes all the while wondering if i will be lucky enough to win.  A couple more strong burst from the fish 15 ft away and in she comes.   My joy turns to laughter immediately as I look into the water and see the beautiful golden color of the rubbery lipped beast that had my heart pounding for the last 13 minutes.  Quick length of 30.25 inches and 12.93 lbs. on the digi scale.

     

    The rest of the weekend was spent pursuing warm water species with my son and brother who came for the weekend.  Caught a bunch of largemouth, pickeral and perch.

     

    Once again I would like to thank all who participated in this endeavor,  and the guidance provided by our wonderful members on LOU.

     

    If any of you guys want to come fish the lake ontario tribs around Rochester or have any questions, give me a shout. 

     

    Thanks again,

  4. Gentleman,

    I would like to thank all of you again for the tips. Went to get spoons and some spinnies yesterday. 10 new dw super slims in the arsenal. This truly is one of the best sights. Packed and chomping at the bit to get to the lake. I look forward to posting some reports. My wife would like to know if there are any resturaunts for lunch or dinner lake side or by car that you would recommend. Hermit, I might be giving you a call if I can't locate jigs to see if we can hook up.

    Thanks again,

    Jay
