Ok, sounds like I need to change from 15# main mono to 10# Maxima Ultragreen or equivalent. The Maxima might be hard to find because it's got great reviews and is on backorder at Cabelas. I already use a small ball bearing swivel between the mono and the fluorocarbon, but it looks like I need to increase my fluorocarbon leader from 3ft to around 10ft. We run the boards approx 150 ft from the boat, so it sounds like we're doing something right. Thanks for sharing your knowledge guys. Appreciate it.

Fished Taughannock Saturday 3-26 from noon to 6pm. It was windy and rough, but we still managed to boat 6 keeper landlocks. Also threw about 6 more small ones back. All fish were caught off planar boards between the park and 1 mile south. Had to stay close to shore to avoid getting pounded by the waves and getting turned sideways by the wind. Black/silver and natural colored husky jerks worked best, 150 ft or less behind the boards. My first mate Gilligan has caught most of the fish in the last 3 weeks. He's averaging 6 fish to every one of mine. The only difference I can find between our setups is the main line on our reels. He's using Cabelas 15# saltwater line and I am using 17# Sufix. I reloaded my reels with 15# Berkley Big Game yesterday. The Berkley seems as stiff as the Sufix, so I'm not getting my hopes up for this coming weekend. Does anyone have any advice on line to use on counter reels ? Thanks

Thanks Rustyrat. Anywhere along the east side, or should I stick to the south end ?

I am taking a 10 year old boy fishing on Cayuga Lake this coming Saturday. Will you please suggest some locations between Treman and Lansing where I can take him to catch ANY type of fish. Blue gills, sunnys, perch, .... The idea is to keep him interested in fishing. We will probably launch out of Treman in a 19 ft Alumacraft. I have all the gear for downrigging, but don't want the little guy getting bored while we drag spoons 100 feet down at 2 mph. I bought him his own pole a few weeks ago and have taken him to local ponds and streams. I think he's hooked (no pun intended). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
