No Towboat available on Cayuga Lake. Tow insurance covers big lake areas.

This scenario happened on Cayuga Lake. Cayuga is a lake with no Towboat US available. Since we have extremely limited options there is a code of ethics where we help each other out whenever possible. I agree that some situations may occur that you can not assist. That is very rare on Cayuga. I lost several hours during a tournament towing in a fellow LOU member years ago. The repayment for that will be when someone rescues me someday down the road.

Shameless Plug.....

The Reel Rage trolling spoon manufacturer is a stand up guy. I do not know him other than that I purchased some really, really nice custom painted spoons from him. He was great to deal with. We all screw up. I would be pretty sure (if that IS the spoon guy's boat) that it was just a whoops. Hopefully he did not cut off your copper. Add this to your 'You should have seen what happened to us on the lake today!" stories and go enjoy the great fishing Cayuga has to offer.

Just park in the upper lot by the entrance booth and they will leave a note on your windshield to pay on the way out.

I had a great transaction with Landshark too.
Sorry to hear you had some communication issues.

Fleas are at a medium level. Definitely 30lb test needed. This hot weather will make them much worse.

Weeds have been my enemy. Need some steady winds to blow them away.

Be sure to get a two cylinder. That will rule out the six most likely. A single cylinder will vibrate just like your two-smoke. 

The Sutton logo (777) is the third generation logo. This is thought to be when John Stafford purchased the tooling to make Sutton’s.

Generation 1
Scott R. Sutton 1864-1911


Generation 2
George Wells 1911-1929


Generation 3
John Stafford 1930-?


Generation 4
John, Jack and Jeanne Stafford
(It is rumored that John or Jack had a hard time hand stamping the spoon numbers in the center of the logo so they redesigned the logo to make stamping spoon numbers more efficient)

Here is a 77 that has the mark of a third seven. The spoon is the shape of an 88 (see third picture for comparison) but slightly smaller. I had never noticed the third 7.

Nearest launch would be Treman state park in Ithaca

Next closest would be Meyers Park in a Lansing

Taughannock state park has a low bridge to get under. You might not be able to get under. I would avoid

After that you would need to head a ways north to Deans Cove on the west side and long point on the east

Lakers in shallow and suspended out deep. Some small salmon. A few browns around that have been small to medium sized.

I like to stay on the West side coming out of Deans Cove. I often hit the middle for a while when I make the turn up north or down south. The East side straight across for me is either super hot or next to nothing so it can definitely be worth at least a try. Laker fishing on the East side is typically good to very good out front of Wells College, just north of Long Point State Park.

There are 4 Generations of the Sutton stamping.

Your lure is 4th gen (modern). It is reasonably recent although I have not seen one like it. You might want to check to see if the bead is glass or plastic. Glass would definitely date it earlier.

It is likely pre 1936 due to the style of swivel on it. Here is a 1936 ad with box swivels and the circular Sutton stamping

Gang hooks were not uncommon.

(Scott R Sutton applied for a Gang Hook patent in 1908)
