  1. its nice to know there is at least someone who cares and actully tries to do it right even if they are very likely overworked and understaffed gives the impression of good knowledge and research
  2. i believe they are pretty good as table fare as well they should be commercially fished and turned into fish sticks
  3. go to the place that works for you man the genny is a very underapreciated fishery i grew up fishing the piers and gorge and miss it greatly now that i live farther away.
  4. fished the north end today had a newbie with me so wanted to get him something. marked fish all over the north end espically in the 130-150 fow range. ended up going 2-4 dont know why i couldnt get more to hit. nuclear white green glow sping doc took two one on a bfuller silver and glow spoon and one on a green and glow protroll e-chip with a mt.dew fly the fish are there you find the right set and you'll be in fish all day.
  5. i like the site lots of good info will make me sound like i know what i'm doing now just gotta wait two weeks to get out again
  6. Fished out of roys marked a ton of fish got one small laker and it was just to choppy out for us [ Post made via Android ]
  7. is there a web site for this derby? have been looking for a late summer one to fish is it a 3 day or a one day derby?
  8. i'm leaning towards north end because thats shortest drive use manual down riggers so i rely on dipseys to get deeper than 60 down or so its nice when i know theres a t-cline up high because i can fish that with the riggers and lead cores thanks for the advice though i will definatly start with the dipsys deep
  9. planning an am trip tomarrow debating between launching out of roys, sampson, lodi, or severn. I dont have a probe so was wondering if anyone could give some info about what depth the thermocline is in any of those areas. most likely will go to sampson or lodi as i have never tried those two before. will report if i catch any
  10. its exactly what i want i just dont have any money
  11. during recent vacation something happened to fishfinder when i got to camp it wasnt working have very limited budget and would like to not lose the fall and winter trolling season. need something that can do finger lake depths does not need to be high end
  12. I havent been on in a while. I apologize to lakebound 88 I had no intention of putting this derby down and in fact if I were in town that weekend I would be trying like hell to fish it I was more venting because i have been very fustrated the last couple years with engine trouble and a disticnt lack of funds and am now relegated to fishing with only a kicker. I understand that putting togather something like this is difficult at best and have no illusions that I could do a better job. i hope it does well and in future years grows to something as big as the lake trout derby. I like the rule format and is my favorit style of derby when ice fishing shot gun starts are a good thing for one day torunys I guess I just put my foot in my mouth a little I just wanted to publicly apologize to the organizer for my bi***ing.
  13. The date happens to be the weekend I get back from vacation the wife would never let me fish that day thaat being said I wish it were more small boat friendly I have a small motor and limited range so the start from the pierhead is a major disadvantage if u could fish from other launches id be more interested [ Post made via Android ]
  14. i feel ya info from this site has gotten me to try lead core and wire dipseys this year espically they have combined for the most fish with the short cores being the best my next one to try is copper but I may wait to see if i can get a bigger boat first. if that takes to long than i will be looking for a 400 copper
  15. just give it some time and you wont even notice i'm just getting back into trolling after spending the last 10years or so doing only spin cast and I picked up the rod and it felt completley natural to reel with the other hand (grew up trolling lake O with dad). just reel in a couple full cores or coppers and your muscles will get used to it quick
  16. I fish out of a 14 footer in all the lakes even big o its all about watching the wind if its blowing fish the calm side of the lake only if you have any doubts about your motor get an electric and stay where that can get you to shore its a great tool for controlled fishing also. If u plan to troll. Planer boards are a big plus I have an entirely homade mast I made for 20a bucks and homemade boards I inheareted from the 80s I caan troll 6 rods pretty easy if you want ill send some pics im all about the small boater [ Post made via Android ]
  17. What's with the remax balloon. Looks like it touched the lake niw boats are following it [ Post made via Android ]
  18. Lots of bait in 60-120 no takers yet [ Post made via Android ]
  19. I am taking stepson out this afternoon this may be my chance to get him back into fishin planning on launching from roys I have limited range so I fish near launch last time out this are a did fine in the 80-120 range 50 down or so any advice to get on them early or should I launch elese whare I fish manual riggers one wire dipsey and one full core I usually run one or two short cores for anything up high any trout will do for him if I get into lakers that's fine if I find silvers that's cool to just want to get him baack into it. Ps he's never caught a trout [ Post made via Android ]
  20. have the first place team get the grand prize and the rest of the prizes through the lottery as described by fishtails having a guarenteed first place for the highest weight keeps a tourny feel to it in my mind
  21. i am not familiar with this derby is it based in ithica or are there multiple weigh in locations
  22. I have this boat in 14ft it is an awesome starter boat its a 66 and still in good shape and I beat the hell out of it. once ran over a dock at full throtte(elbow hit lever while I was pulling out) didnt do a thing to the boat catches lots of fish and travels well to follow the weather or bite. I recomend it to anybody looking to break in
  23. i used to find them when fishing for summer perch I would take the smallest hook i had and freeline a fathead minnow could watch them suck it in and work it down to the softer but not soft tissue of the lips and set the hook smaller the hook better the chances sometimes they would roll and wrap the line around there mouth which is a good hook up to I got some 3 and 4 footers this way in front of russell when the plant was on always fun to land one of them when wading in a pair of shorts. also got them on sodus in the summer more than once.
  24. i wish there was a week or two between the seneca derby and the canadaguia one my wife wont let me fish them back to back
  25. i've not tried canandaguia but some deep diving wide body plugs like a cotton cordell get it bouncing right off the bottom and pop it when you feel rocks they will smash it on other waters. good for trolling pick the right plug for the depth there are some that will get 20-25 just stay outside the weeds and bounce the hard bottom
