thanks guys i've spent so much time targeting certain species or methods but I end up with so many good memories from random bonus fish like this or things that happened when just fishing simple in order to enjoy the outdorrs -
score one for the little guy So we finally got up to camp last weekend to check things out and open everything up. We had our grandson with us and he was paitent with us getting the trailer opened and ready so while up there we got out the bobber rods and had some fun. He got a pile of perch up to 8 inches and this happened. he hooked it and fought it all on his own all i did was talk him through it and get the fish out of the water and take pics. This fish was all of 30lbs probably more (no scale handy). caught it on a snoopy pole and zebco took about 25 mins to land. The picture does not do it justice. Thank god the water was cold and most of the runs were slow i think if the fish had decided to go out to the lake there was no stopping him. He talked about this fish for the rest of the trip but in fairness so did I. This quite possibly tops my PB Carp but i dont target them (may have to start)

pvc is your friend you can also hang a couple of rake handles from the celing about 3 feet apart and parallel to the ground just at the top of your reach. you can fit a lot of rods on that -
I dont have near the time in on seneca as Sk8man but one thing i have learned is have patience with that lake it can drive you crazy in a hurry. can have great fishing than for no reason another time you cant buy a fish. for lakers I found green chartreuse and white are the most consistent colors down deep. Dont be afraid to troll shallow for lakers this time of year especially in the early morning. for rainbows or LL I find my best luck is the top 70 feet of water again white is a constant producer and UV on sunny days orange is also always out to start some days that is the key. 28 size and equivalent spoons are the most consistent for me. as for browns good luck I can count my browns on one hand and thats over several years. I find that fish can be in very tight areas sometimes there so if you get bit dont be afraid to circle

Lead core backing and leader length?
ifishy replied to drag&snag1985's topic in Tackle and Techniques
you have two reels so start with the 10 color backwards on one than you get as much backing on as you can than reel it off of that reel on to the other one so it will be the right way on. the 5 color will be more of a guess but you know if will hold the same amount the 10 color did plus some. -
best way to get better at this hobby keep tinkering

are you unhappy with the 30#? or just want to experiment. line is definitely a personal preference thing
-
tie something on and give it a few yanks best way to tell. Generally if its out of the sun mono does well

a good multi meter can help when it comes to electric. i have used mine more times than i care to admit

I had an issue where the starter would turn but not fast enough to send the bendex ended up being a combo of starter near its end a bad solinoid and a corroded battery wire (not at connection) I was losing just enough power that the starter couldn't do it. Had it rebuilt got a new solinoid and wire good since than so far according to my multi meter I was only losing about .4 bolts to the starter Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

does this high water keep the waders out of the creek? be nice to see the bows and there redds get most of a season off. of course all the mud is no good either -
take 104 to holt road go north on holt go to the end turn left the parking lot entrance is on the right just after the creek if fishing is no good there get back on lake road going west and drive till you it i-bay pier. next down from there is the genny and than the ponds beyond that. I used to drive that going the other way all the time when i was younger looking for a good bite. had a lot of great days as the various places
-
pick a spot on the rod about a foot from the reel say end of the handle or some marking grab the line at the reel pull till your hand hits that mark and count. once you get that as a practiced motion you will be able to quickly count out the line. it is very consistently repeatable and can be set fairly quick

if i ever get my 6 pounder I know where its going that is a fantastic job -
excellent thank you

i have both in my spread I love my great lakes models they are hand me downs from my dad and are what i grew up using in the 80s and 90s the accudepths are not bad but the older GL models are better built.
-
that sounds interesting what kind of speed do you run that set up at. I usually speed up a bit when i put out a bow and LL spread. Browns I usually slow down but i dont fish them on the fingerlakes much mostly because i have never done well with them.

That is the same one I've been obsessing over I figure in 2-3 years when I'm ready for my next boat this year's model will be on the market for the right price Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'm still a bit of time away but have been doing the same search crestliner has a new model the authority that looks like a nice option there are other options in that same style to I thinks it's smokercraft has some to look at and for a more utilitarian feel duraweld has a decent model I do love the fish masters though Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
