  1. Gulp Minnows in Emerald Shiner or Smelt on dropshot AT LEAST 18" off bottom have worked for me in Goby infested waters. You can rig a second one close to the bottom with out a hook to keep the Gobies busy, but they are persistant buggers.
  2. Fished same general area today. Got one rainbow up high (3 color). No other fish up high at all. Could have been the calm conditions, but there is plenty of bait up high, with a few surface feeding fish visible. Was running lines out and back a ways to avoid spooking fish. Got any other ideas why fish were not hitting at all in the top 60ft?

  4. Stan, Here is day 1 results. See you in the fall at the Barney & Bears Fall Derby.
  5. Water level is way up. You can launch a bigger boat no problem. Watch out for a submerged log and branch right in the travel path 10 yards before you enter the channel on the way out . The tip of the branch has been showing but might go under if the lake level rises.

  7. The 58Johnson tablet referred to by Stoneam2006 that I use is an iPad mini with ATT cellular service. The app I use is Navionics Boating App for iOS. I pay for the Navionics+ in app purchase. It is less than $20, a true bargain.
  8. (OP) Purchased Frogg Toggs Anura Jacket and ToadSkinz Bibbs. Fit is excellent. I followed thier recommendation NOT to go up a size to fit over layers.They even recommend going down a size if you are unsure. I am shorter and 2 bills plus and went with medium bibs and a large jacket. Both fit really well. I would normally go with large pants and shorten them and x-large jacket if it were not Toggs. They are a little stiff, but wearable. Sheds rain/snow great. The only gipe is the zipper on the jacket is pretty flimsy. I greased it up with a product called Snap-Stick that I use to grease my canvas zippers on the boat. The bibb zipper is much sturdier. Thanks to all for your ideas. https://www.froggtoggsraingear.com/AnuraJacket.shtm
  9. Did you fish all the way up to Canoga or did you stay south of Taughannock?
  10. Vogel451- Does Meyers still require you to make a hard right after the handicap lift/transient dock and then do the big U run all the way down the slips? I beached out when I headed straight towards the channel a few weeks ago. Also..can you give us a fishing report on your trips? Thanks

  12. I launched out of Meyers today. I have a very shallow draft boat (Arima) and I had an adventure getting out. You must turn to the right at the end of the mooring area/handicapped lift and circle all the way around the outside boat slip area (in a big U). You can't cross over the middle, you have to make the big U. I got stuck near the last dock before the channel. I never figured out the right way to get through there. I backed out of my stuck and made it through by cutting the corner pretty tight then swinging wide as I reached the channel. Lots of mud kicked up but I made it. Stay in the middle area of the channel. I had the spotting help of another fisherman who had driven down to check out the launch. I owe him a beer for his advice! I got stuck coming in in the same area as going out, but got unstuck by using a little motor power. I ran sticks off boards and only managed to mangle some mini salmon with the multiple trebles. Oh yeah, the person who said no ladder needed...you are a funny guy. Check the picture out! (I can literally drive my boat under the dock)
  13. I took a look at the Meyers launch today. There was little chance of getting out there also. (One hopefull thing was that the nearby creek was flowing strong after the snowmelt.) Shore fisherman went home empty handed that I spoke with.
  14. Frabill stuff is a great deal. The limited sizing selection is a factor there. That's high end stuff at a great price. I found the better FroggTogg line. That looks really good. The Red Ledge is a new brand to me. It is available at a local store. Ill take a look in person. The easily packs away feature is great. Thanks for the suggestions. I had not looked at any of them before you folks pointed them out.
  15. What are your suggestions for summer weight rain gear? I have shredded several cheapie suits. The only cheapie suit that lasted was a yellow Big Bird suit, but that one is on its last legs. I'm looking for something that will last several seasons at the least. What brand do you use? Do you prefer bibs with a jacket? I'll spend the $100 plus if I can find a durable rain suit that is summer freindly.
  16. Aaron...Your 110% positive attitude towards everything (including fishing) is great to be around. We have all caught fishing fever but you pretty much made all of us look lazy with your go for it attitude you displayed this year! It was a blast getting you on your first silvers. The rainbow pic says it all. Beautiful fish.
