FLX doesn't run spoons with much success

But, he has a great deal of success with flasher/fly combos and other 'secret lures'.

Listen to Yankee Troller, FLXTroutman is the man! And, he is always willing to teach, something that can't be said for a lot of successful fishermen (except those on LOU, who have ALWAYS been helpful to me).

Be hunting near Farwell, MI. South of Clare, MI which is kinda in the middle of the state, above Lansing. More importantly, above the rifle/shotgun line; so the Marlin 1895 G in .45-70 will get a workout. BOOM!!!

Nope, Town of Middlesex.

Already winterized the boat, so it's the woods for me. Stuck a nice 6 point buck who snuck in on me from an unseen trail. Too close, I shot high and gave him a back shave! :x :x :x

Saw a real nice old bruiser across the ravine chasing a doe back and forth for 30 - 40 minutes, just couldn't use my Jedi mind powers to get her to cross the creek and come up my side of the trail ( 30 yd. broadside shot when they top out ).

Got one more weekend, then off to Michigan for gun season opening at Aunt & Uncles farm for a few, then back to Canandaigua for a few weeks of 'grocery shopping' in the woods.

Cannot wait for ice!!

Nice job! Time for stew.

thats cool, hopefully we get a few people to say yes.. we had so many responses to first message and almost none to this one...if we dont get a decent amount by friday i guess its off

Nah... we are still fishing I think, right FLX?

I'll pitch in with a pencil holder or two from my business. ( except I can spell better than the website people we use!!! )

Does anyone know where I could possibly get a Canandaigua Lake that has the contours. I'm newer to the lake and think a decent map would help me out. Thanks in advance.

Go to Seager Marine, on Lakeshore at the City Pier. They have a decent, color, laminated map with basic topo information and fishing hints on it.

Also, the Western New York spiral bound fishing maps book (Gander, Bass Pro, WalMart) is decent.

FLXTroutman, LTTroller and I went out this morning from the south this morning at the crack of dawn. Called for ncallahan03 several times on the VHF but we stayed pretty much south of Bristol Harbor.

Had 4 lakers hit, landed all 4 of them. Graph was pretty barren most of the trip until we started picking up, then we were marking fish in about 90 FOW.

Had a great time, and got to meet LTTroller.

I will be in it! Except my rig is at south end but that's ok. I may be able to get fireplug to mate , maybe you should just join us ncallahan03 if no one is interested. Hey fireplug, whatcha doing that Sunday? I know I have to work on my house but I should be able to get out since the season is burning up.

I'm in.

Hopefully I'll see some fish.

Thanks again,

Dave

Just follow Jekyll. If I am onboard, you'll see all the fish I lose and maybe they'll hit for you

I think it is just below the point North-East of Granger Point, near the 100' line, but I am not positive. I've only fished there a couple times with you and never paid attention to landmarks, I was too busy trying to pick your brain about fishing for Trout in Canandaigua Lake :?

check out this map it's kind of small but white rock is in south end on east side,

it is actually a rock that people paint white every year,l legend has before all the house the Indians used it as anavigational aid since there isn't much for landmarks

Hey fireplug you got a better link than this one ??

Great Day! Glad to see you and the boys had a successful trip!

Give me a shout if you want to hook up down there next weekend.

Oh, I get the hint... You will hopefully be visiting the taxidermist. Nice deer.

Congrats. It seems like the fish are still in the same depths as Monday. I hope they are still there when I head back up in a week or so.

Saw A LOT of boats in the 60 - 70 FOW range, both when we went out, and when we returned. I assume they did okay, as they were not moving around, but I did not talk to anyone who was fishing there. I'd love to get back up there, but that 2 hour drive at 0300 hours is a killer after the way these past few weeks have been at work! :?

Left the docks on the Dapper Dan with Jekyll and Danno (newest member of the Blue Man Group) at 0515 on Saturday.

Checked out the water in close, didn't see much, so we started around 80'.

Ran all over the 80 - 120 FOW range, coming back to dock around 1900 hours.

Overall, we were 9 for 18, with 3 Coho, 1 Steelie, and 5 nice Kings. All were on flasher/fly combos, with green/green and white/white variations being the effective ones. Some were cheated, some not. Jekyll can provide the exact details, as he keeps the records on his boat.

Great day for fishing with a couple of great guys. Not too hot, not too wet, and no boat traffic where we were.

My first Coho

Dinner!!

FLX,

Does your boat have the trailer up button? Mine had an up and down and the trailer button. The guy that owned the boat before me had work done on the shifter and the mechanic did not hook the switch up correctly. I just used the trailer button until my mechanic had other work to do on my boat.

Had the same problem as Gambler. Used the 'Trailer' button until the mechanic was able to re-wire it properly.

Sounds like I missed a great weekend

Out of town this weekend (taking wife to Maine) but maybe we can hook up after that for food salmon, since derby isn't going to happen for me this year.

There were about 3 more than I was ready to take on....

Give me shout if you need any extra lines (or reloads ) - I have a little experience with unfair oddds and being the 'odd man out.'

But, seriuosly, any time you have an open seat or want 2 extra lines, I am dying to hook up with a salmon this year. My boat will not be Ontario-ready this year, maybe next year.

Looks like a great time. Glad you hit some fish and didn't have to plow any sails!!

Thanks! I'll have to see if I have one.
