Jack dialed us in this morning as he eased into 150 foot. The 3 Amigos set up a 2 dipsey, 2 rigger spread and a 300 copper rod down the middle. A dirty white boy spoon started the day off in style with a nice steelie. The bite was on after that with a 200 foot wire dipsey on setting 3 taking 3 more silver trout and a king. We will be out again in the a.m.

I had the great pleasure of fishing with an awesome fisherman tonight. "pvelyk" Patrick runs a great spread that catches fish. We ended up fishing from 130 to 225. it wasnt fast and furious, but it was quality. Patrick put us fish. We ended 2 for 3 after I lost a beauty of a steelie.

found them at S and R in ROCHESTER. THX WALT

With our fish coughing up alewives, I want to catch my own bait to run on meat rigs. I checked out a youtube vid on lake O where a guy uses a sabaki rig to catch two or three at a time. Anyone know where to buy them LOCALLY. I would rather hook up a local shop before online.

All right Pat! I'm sorry I didnt get back to you. I am officially on vacation ....finally. I cant wait to fish and learn. Nice job buddy. Larry

Excellent work! Today was a struggle for so many, it's great to see a beauty on the board. Way to go.

Holy cow! Excellent job guys. That is truly a fish of a lifetime. I look forward to these posts.

Pim is my son's best friend and has become like a second son to me (Happy Fathers day guys). Pim stayed on the ropes with this heavyweight and the rope a dope proved him victorious with his 3rd ever fish. This slob inhaled a hair rig with sweet corn. He chummed him in with a couple cans of niblets. This was an epic battle but Pim was patient, took the poungding and wore him down. Pim's George Foreman is a solid 35, maybe 40. Pim decided he would like to honor a nice fisherman with the fish. He is hooked forever. To all the dads, THIS is what it's all about! Larry

Nice work! Im looking forward to fishing with you. Larry

I would love to volunteer. I will also put together some gear to help. I will p.m. you my number and stuff. Im doing something similiar in the city. Waaaay back, i had the Wayne Middle School fishing club. It was a blast. Good for you and keep it up! Those kids are lucky to have you brother!

Nice post. Well written and I will use this.

P.m. sent guys. Larr

Put me down for a 12er. P.m. me and off to sandy i will go.

This is getting eggciting. Interestingly enough my dad, who lives on a creek off the lake, has seen a few trout running up just last week.

Very good deal on durable Black Widows. Working in the tackle business for 20 years, these rods simply never came back broken. I am interested if not sold. Larry

Nice buddy. Keep those reports coning

This big female came out of the Genessee River last night on a nightcrawler. As part of our ongoing classroom experimentation, my fifth graders asked, "What do catfish eat?" This question is awesome and also an undeniable excuse (that even my wife cannot deny) to fish. Rochester's Genessee River is host to awesome fishing opportunity. In the past days, in lieu of trolling, I have been working toward the elusive GARBAGE GRAND SLAM. Suckers, carp, catfish, sheephead and......clam? Yes, we dissected the clam and a catfish.

So, back to my awesome students. We watched a dissection by a Perdue scientist to learn a catfish's anatomy on YouTube. The kids were most interested in stomach content and swim bladder. It was a hit with only one near-fainter. Take a kid fishing. Tight lines. Larry

One 15 lb danforth and one 15 lb steel hooker. $25 for both

Nice reel. $15. Also Mitchell 300. The old Frenchy. $5

These riggers work great.

Very nice!!!!  She looks like a beaut!

A few of my students asked me this question last week. You can Bing, Google, or try to explain it but what is better than the real thing? How about Captain Sam Zucco from Dream Catcher Charters? Sam is the president of the Genessee Charter Captains Association. He was also happy to have 3 extremely excited 5th grader aboard his beautiful 32 foot Penn Yan charter boat. All the questions were answered with a smile. I was thrilled with his generosity seeing those big smiles. Sam wasn't done making these kids fishermen for life though. Captain Sam took us to the fish pens where my students fed and learned all about steelhead and kings. Thanks to Sam! These kids shared with the whole school that they went on a charter boat and are now fishermen. "When can we go again Mr. Hammond?" Let's all take kids fishing. They are the future of this great fishery.

Here is Jack on board his Thompson Gunner with, perhaps, the largest goby I have ever seen. Jack is well know for his goby prowess.
