Yeah ......I know Seneca was on fire last fall. They are a real problem

over there...........or are they?

I'm talkin Seneca River starting from Cayuga Lake thru Cross Lake

and beyond.

I use the same set-up as I use for pickerel..............

Any one else got any preferences...or is this like asking where your honey hole is?? haha

Preferences on honey holes or line?.......LOL

Maybe I'll smoke one...............

I've had it pickeled before.................

Does anyone have recipie for pickerel..............

I'm pretty sure they were pickerel , but I've been wrong before..........

I think they were pickerel.....

Can't..........

I caught four pickerel.............

Been fishing the Seneca river for a long time.

This past fall I wasnt too pleased with the numbers I caught.

This river has been known to produce , quantity and

quality depending on what time of the year its fished.

Just curious, HOW did everyone else fare? Did you feel the northern pike

bite was a little weak this past fall? If so any thoughts on whats going on?

Guess what finally showed up on the river?

What size are they running? I have been chasing them on the

Seneca river, I should be into them as well, but its been extremley

tough. I'm averaging about one a trip, which is terrible. If it wasnt

for the bass occupying my time I probably wouldnt be there.

What is going on with the walleyes in that lake? A couple years back,

anyone that could wet a line would catch one. I think they took too many

big fish out. Now you really have to do your homework. Bites are spotty,

they dont seem to be concentrated. You have to try a bunch of spots to

scrape some out. Anyways, nice job on the musky.Two others were

caught last week by a father and son team. They were using bait,

caught them towards evening. Funny thing, they bit one right after the

other. One was 17lbs. the other 10lbs. They big one was old ,hardly had

any teeth left and they were caught in the river far from the lake.

Still use them , and do very well on them. It seems alot of fisherman

have gotten away from them, which I think makes them look even

more attractive to the fish. I wasnt happy with STORE bought streamers,

way too expensive for some hair on a hook, and thru my experience

they are way too big.

If you cant buy what you want make them yourself, they are super easy

to tie. I tie tandems , and you can make any color you want.

I'm a fisherman first , fly tier second. Dont get me wrong I'm absolutley

not knocking flyfihermen or fly tying, what I'm saying is they DONT

have to be as pretty as the store bought ones. The fish arent there

to admire them , they are there to eat.

Does anyone favor a certain time of year? Is it better to go after them

around the opener thru the summer, or should I concentrate on them in the Fall thru early Winter? Bye the way, thanks for everyones response.

Anyone,

I need help with Tigers in Cross Lake and the Seneca River.

Any lure choices , time of the year , anything that would help me

put together a game plan to BAG one of these baby's.

I've been fortunate to catch ONE fishing for northerns in the spring,

a respectable 15lber, I've been haunted ever since. I've had follows

but no other hookups.

They seem to show up randomly with no ryhme or reason, which is

why I can seem to put anything together.

ANYONE that has had any luck ,send in lure , time of day (morning or evening) time of year.

Maybe if we put or minds to it , we can all understand these elusive

giants better.

Have you ever targeted those Norlunge on Cross Lake? Or know of

anyone that does. I'm interested in lure choices , time of year ,

that sort of thing. I've only stumbled across one so far fishing for

northerns in the spring. Either they are not easy to entice or nobody's

talking. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi ALL,
