    i'm all for it with a small motor i cant break the 5mph limit anyways it would put everyone else on my level of course than there would be that much more of a crowd in the areas around the launch oh well thats whats nice about seneca you can fish right out of the gate from most launches

    i fish a 14 footer. I fish on Lake O in the spring and fall when the fish are near shore the rest of the time i'm on seneca lake or some other small body of water. pay super close attention to the weather for the couple days leading up to your trip and look at the weather for the next day incast the weather man is a little late in his timeline. It can be done but know your boat well before you tryi it

    for the record collection of frogs in new york is only leagal during the open season. this includes all stages egg and tadpole. It does not currently apply to toads but toadpoles excrete a toxin that makes them very poor tasting and therefore likely bad bait. I work for a company that buys and sells frog eggs, tadpoles and adults and we have to be very aware of state regs both in new york and across the country as we ship nation wide. You can buy and posess frogs purchased from out of state year round but you have to be able to prove origin (reciept works). As far as using out of state frogs for bait? I dont have an answer, if its legal than fish supply stores and pond fish stores are potential sources as tadpoles are a common by product of koi farms.

    so based on the web cam pics we decided to fish watkins well by the time I got there the wind had shifted and there was just no way we turned around and went to severen made one pass that was uncomfortable at best with no release so we switched out the gear and trolled the shorline for pike made one pass up and down caught a decent pickeral but that was it. saw a huge school of nice perch but had nothing in the boat to target them with for any real effort. I tried to talk to guys into going to naples to try there but after getting beat up by the waves I got out voated. oh well maybe one more trip before the derby

    got a chance to get out tomarrow with the strong west wind Lake O is out normally i would run right to watkins but thinking of trying something different. does anyone fish the south end of canadaguia this time of year? are all the fish still in the tribs or is it worth it. I searched old posts and there is not a lot from this time of year. just curious trying to plan tomarrows trip.

    in a small boat the rod holders can often be closer togather make sure the front most rod holder is the same height or taller then the next one back for running boards. I made this mistake and it puts the inside board rod tip higher than the outside rod tip this is a disaster when a fish hits. I remember the first time i set them i looked at it and scratched my head for a few minues trying to figure out why i didnt like it than the fish hit and i knew. usually I only one one board line one dipsey and one rigger per side so i didnt notice the problem untill i was spring brown fishing the next year. P.S. my boat is only 14 foot so space is a premium a good board across the back is a wonderful thing

    Lake O still has lots of smallies and the sizes are starting to approach record potential the fishing methods needed have changed the fish school tigher on smaller spots and will not move as far to eat because the have a platter of gobies at there disposal. seneca is a great lake and as a small boat owner its where i fish all summer but Lake O is no slouch and having fished it since the 80s the fishing is different but there is always good fishing there. For those that know how there is a world class walleye fishery there you just dont hear much about it.

    i used to fish the canal from greece west all the time ther are a ton of smallies in there and pleanty of largemouths and even decent pike and walleye. if the kid is old enough to do it just keep walking and casting i found the fish there were not real well fed and as a result supper aggresive if there was a fish in site of te lure i would get hit on the first or second cast in every spot and if i missed one I could get it to hit again in just a few mins. small spinners or cranks are good lots of vibration and flash. I used to spot them and cast well away just to watch them charge 20 to inhale a bait. if your up for still fishing take some corn and chum there are loads of carp and if you can get them to stay in an area its a full day of fun. if your real close make a habbit of throwing a couple handfuls of corn out multiple times a week than there will always be carp around you may even get some big cats out of it.

    there is something to be said for how quickly you can re-set a line as a small boat who sometimes fishes solo there is not a lot of room to move around and when a fish is in the net it has to be squared away completely before rods go back out. this past weekend I took time before setting to get everything set where it was needed and have a plan for each rod and where it would go if a fish hit I was able to re-set much quicker as a result of having those rods in quicker let me get back in the good water quicker it also led to more hits as the rod going back out got hit in the first few mins more than once. bigger boat bigger crew one guy can set while the other cleans up and this can lead to larger numbers sometimes 6-8 fish means you spent more time fighting fish than just trolling thats not a bad thing. it also translates into fish per person 8 fish for 2 people is the same as 20 fish for 5

    okay so my fishing partner woke up sick and couldnt go i so i was delayed and by the time i left Lake O had flatned out so I went brown fishing went 4 for 8 with a rainbow a coho and a 10lb brown. broke two off One got wraped in branch and chaffed off the line I pulled a rookie move and just cut off a foot of leader instead of replacing the whole thing and that cost me the second break off. Any way Monday is supposed to be nice I say go fish ontario spring fishing is a blast.

    i use the storm pre-rigged baits right out of the package they work great for pike never tried them for browns

    i used to do a cod trip out of NH in june one of the things that would happen with the party boat if the currents picked up the tangles would get more common switch to one hook keeps you out of a bunch of the mess so while others are re-rigging your fishing. also braid is big I still have reel filled with dacron from those trips. Jigs are good but they are a lot of work i found i was much happier with a bait line and a beer especially after cranking fish up 400 ft all day. use to use the walmart pre made rigs never had issues catching fish untill we had a few to many beers in us
  20. ifishy
    nailed it

    i'm with gambler power pro is awesome I also have home made board and use to use the dacron planer line it worked but releases took a while to move. I upgraded to power pro 2 seasons ago and so far no problems i just keep a glove on the boat to pull the boards in with so i dont cut my hand

    there is a place in lyons called perez wildlife artistry i dont think he has a website but there is a facebook page. he has done some fish for me and they came out very well and resonably priced as well

    Ha i almost spilled my drink

    gambler that is a very intriguing idea and very reasonably thought out which unfortunatly is not something that NY is known for. it would be nice to see greater DEC presense but that is probably not going to happen anytime soon with our current budget. there are special regulations all over the state for differnet fisherys and the precedence in the streams is already there to have special regs in certian sections. this combined with some key habitat restoration might be a way to win all the way around by protecting fish when they are most concentrated but also allowing for the promtion of trib fishing which brings a lot of money in and puts a lot of attention on fisherys and attention can be a good thing the squeaky wheel gets the greese.

    state of mind can have a wonderful healing effect hopefully the draw of open water and the warming weather will help lead to a sucessfull recovery.
