    SENECA DERBY DAILY REPORTS............

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Posted

    I think one of the greatest things about the Seneca Lake Trout Derby is that is truly a family event where you can mix campsite memories with fishing adventures and those family bonds can (and do) last forever. It has been a tradition for my son and I for many years since he was very young and we had to quit early so he could play at the campground with his new found buddies while now we stay at a motel instead of enduring the rigors of the sleeping bags and wet tents.....and after 3 hard days of fishing having to break camp while totally burned out and the multiple trips back and forth to home with the one tow vehicle :lol: but the good memories are still alive for both of us and he now has his own kids. The main thing is that those previous years spent together doing stuff we love formed an inseparable bond between us and it is vitally important to us both at this point in our lives. Never too late to get kids into it....and best of all it gets them away from most of the video games and TV (make them turn in their phones until you leave camp) :lol:

    That's exactly what it is too.  My dad called this morning and left me a long message telling me how much fun he had this weekend and I could here him choking up (money makes him do that :lol: ).  This was the 1st year I registered my girls in the derby and brought them camping at Sampson.  Thankfully I live 8 minutes from Sampson so the double tow vehicle trip is not too painful...but man you are right about the work when you are burned out!  While getting a money fish was really exciting, the most memorable fish for me this weekend was a 6.5# laker that my 9 year old daughter reeled in all on her own.

    Ah yes, Oak Orchard Open, Sodus Pro Am, Atomic challenge=gone!

    It's funny. .. On the big Lake I'm disappointed when I catch a laker but there is something about this Derby I get excited for every year! It's really cool to start building the same excitement in my kids now.

    Thanks man! Just my dad and I today. We've been fishing it together since 85. My kids went to a parade but I'm getting them out later. This is their first Derby so the legacy continues. We picked 6 fish this am. Slow bite for us today. Fished the same area I pulled a9# laker yesterday but all small today.

    Pretty funny that the guys on Seneca got tired of getting beat up by the guys on Cayuga. Now you have to start a Seneca North vs South rivalry. That is pretty sweet.

    How is it we met again?

     

    "Zebedee, Zebedee, Balls Deep lookin"

    "Go ahead"

    "I've been trolling all day with my wife and father in law and can't catch a fish, can you help me out?"

    "Go here, do this"

    1/2 hour later...."Thank you!  We caught a fish!"

     

     

    ...just sayin!
