4well the deep freeze we had brought the birds to big water, got to get out, temporarly grounded no truck.many lake shore spots posted now, need a good boat

My fishfinder failed me(blind) no fish is worth risk of life.

Any good day on the lake is plenty.

Hi

Im looking for a set of newer cannon electric riggers)long boom) and a set of electric planer masts.

thanks

john

glad he made it .What would have happened to him though if no one saw him.

Sunday afternoon I saw quite a few small boats out that maybe shouldn't have been due to the conditions

You see two guys in a 12 ft with 2 footers and 25 mile gusts and you wonder.WE had our 19 ft, and it was being tossed around pretty good.

perch fishing is great but I wouldn't take any chances of getting wet.

same bait as perch.saw another boat had one also

caught some nice ones today.fished bling though no fishfinder off the loop,caught a nice 12 lb pike also.What a fight on perch tackle thought I had a log till he took off

Hi ,Im interested in this motor.Is it a 4 stroke and do you know how many hours on it.You also mentioned a price change.let me know thanks.

Pulled my boat this weeka after we had that aweful blow.The wind and waves came into our harbor and broke a line and tossed the boat onto my dock.Well I got there just in time and got it straightened out ,no damage.

A note of appreciation.A Wayne County Sheriff came by and said he would check on the boats later so I could go home.

Fall can be a tricky time with weather.Better be safe than sorry.

Hopefully next year will bring good summer west winds and lots of kings early.

Onto the ducks and perch .

There is no greater pain than losing a child.We lost our son also 9 years ago.

A friend told me afterwards that they are still with us though resting.Waiting for us to follow and be with them.

That has helped a lot over the years.

My sincere condolences.

talked to local dive boat captain today.he reported seeing many schools of smallies 18-20 ft of water from pultneyville to bear through the summer .More than in the 2013 season.

late season on the fingerlakes has been awesome.Lots of hunters and millions of ducks and geese.Ive given up sodus or the big o due to poor conditions iceing and lack of access

was told by a biologists same thing and the cormerants like them because they were easy for them to catch

Glad to see you back les.How was your trip?The smallies realy turned on lately surprised so few are out fishing for them.But the lake is way down again wondering whether Ill need to have it pulled to save on the truck

Have good news.these birds now feast mostly on gobies.we have a bunch here now could use another squadron for all those ugly gobies biolgist reportsgobies top diet now , no wonder thebass maysoon rebound

Looking for info on seneca perch, sodus is just getting on, hope its like last season

john

went out last night and also this morning.The wind was pretty strong which made it hard to anchor having a big boat can be a disadvantage  especially with bass.I did mark alot of bass from 40 to 15 ft..Well from what I hear from others bass has been a lot better this year than last.I ended catching two nice rainbows on green glow j plugs of all lures.

The fish I have caught were very healthy and "strong".I hope they have a good winter and come back strong next year.

Ill have to give the worm harnesses a shot next year.

Hope next year I resolve my back injury which has cut a lot of my fishing ambition this year.

Fishing can be hard on your back.Especially if you spend a lot of time sitting .next year Im going to a taller captains chair with lumbar supports.No more reaching to set riggers either.And don't forget being careful lifting those big fish aboard,lol

if I remember correctly we had the same story of finding perch in the lake about this tme.Soon they will be in the bays as the bait moves in firs

Im consolidating all my reels to older penns.Mostly 320 330 and 340. I had a bad drag on one I bought on ebay and decided to fix it.many good repair videos on youtube on this subject. Now I can fix all my reels without sending them out.parts are pretty cheap also

anticipation is often worse than reelezation,lol

Hi I always had good luck with cleos(orange and silver)when the kings came in here..the glow ones work better late and before dawn.I also would try a florcarbon leader if  the water was clear.

there were a dozen trailers at the north ramps today.Boats were scattered as it was a windy day.Many of the boats were at the northend of Newark island if it helps.

YESTERDAY I stopped in to local bait shop.Aperently the gobie has a great appetite for crayfish.

Has anyone caught smallmouth that has a lot of crayfish in them

they got to be there the lake turned over which almost always brings them into the bay

went back today and the cold water (47 degree)sure shut off the bass.Well have to wait till the water gets alittle warmer

tonight was very good for bass.I caught several while trolling for salmon .Tonight I anchored and fished with nightcrawelers set 2 feet from the bottom,some of the bass were 18 inchers.Also saw quit a few boats along the lakeshore in close.Must be that time when the bass go on their fall binge before winter.hey if you tired of T&S nows the time to catch the "little bears"indian name.
