The smallies are set still around, divers I know saw them by the hundreds around devils nose last year, its all about emulating thier food sources! Think about it, these fish eat either pelagic bait like the salmon and trout or they are pb gobies. Do your best to imitate these and you will score. The ecosystem always changes, remaining stuck in old ways is a surefire way to strike out [ Post made via Android ]

My cousin and I will launching out of the Buffalo small boat harbor this upcoming Sat (weather permitting). I have a good graph and and charts, so finding seneca shoal and other structure will be no issue, what I want to know from you guys is what presentations WILL get me into fish. I have horrible luck with smallies, but I am planning on dropshotting and Carolina rigging tubes, small flukes, dropshot worms etc and I will be using fluro on all my rods. Anything more I should do to make this trip successful? [ Post made via Android ]

thanks for the information this is all good stuff. I will definitely have to concentrate more on the tubes and jerkbaits. I definitely felt when I went that bass were still on their beds. but they should be done with the spawn and should move to deeper waters soon. [ Post made via Android ]

What kind of jigs do I toss at the points? And is thier a good lure I could use to simulate an alewife so I could use artificials rather than live bait? I am just a more traditional bass guy. Also I have put tubes and cranks and spinnerbaits and dropshots on these fish but they have not touched them. Is it just a matter of finding enough of them? Cuase the marks seem to be all over the 15-30 ft range but a lot were suspended. My thought is that either I an not presenting my bottom tactics to enough fish and I am not giving the suspended fish the right swimming presentation. [ Post made via Android ]

Hey can you guys shed some light on how to catch these fish on canadaigua? I have drifted live bait for perch and picked them up accidentally and they have always been slobs. But it seems I can never hit them when I target them. I know they suspend a lot and I can see them stacked on my finder and I know they behave a lot like the pelagic trout that chase the alewives, but there has to be a way to get these fish. I mean after all they have to have some bass instinct. Any pointers?? [ Post made via Android ]

It was a ton of fun and feeling a hit 70ft down was a blast. It's an amazing fight as well, like fighting a smallie down 70 ft [ Post made via Android ]

I promised I would post when I jigged up a Canadaigua laker and here is is. I actually went out this morning to fish for smallies which was a huge failure (anyone wanna PM me about how to catch them on artificials?). Anyway after hitting perch, huge sunnies, and massive pickeral all morning I was frustrated and decided to give laker jigging my second ever concentrated effort. Now let it be known that you who are learning to jig NEED Navionics hotmaps. With that beautiful chip I was able to pinpoint awesome humps that had hooks all over the bottom. Anyway I put on my hand tied marabou laker jig and in an hour I hooked up with five fish!! Sadly I dumped all but one, but still I landed my first jig fish! I would rip the jig five times off the bottom and then reel fast to the boat, one fish slammed the jig on the reel and the rest hit on the rip jigging cadence. And this all happened on one hour in a very snotty south wind. Cannot wait to focus a five hour outing on the structure I found, when the wind cooperates. It should result in lots and lots of hookups! [ Post made via Android ]

Hey guys looking to pick up a 5 to 8 HP kicker for around 500 to 600 bucks, looking for a real reliable motor and does not have to be brand new but late 80s is acceptable with 90's being preferred. I know this is in the classifieds section but I wanted a few more guys to see this as I am eager to get a deal done and back on the water!! [ Post made via Android ]

where are you located? I would love to come take a look and possibly see the motor run if that is something that can happen

And very interested in what you have to offer salmonite [ Post made via Android ]

Hey guys I recently purchased this motor off this site and was extremely impressed with how amazingly well this motor starts and runs. This motor is in excellent condition, it is a long shaft 2HP. Motor has about 4 total running hours on it. One side has minor scratches in decal. Motor also comes with instruction manual. This motor is great but it just does not push my 18ft boat fast enough for salmon trolling. For any boat under this size or for anyone looking for perfect walleye and laker speeds this motor is for you! Also great on gas. Call 585-472-3410 after five or text anytime, PM's are welcome as I check the site alot. [ Post made via Android ]

Can this rod stand up to pier casting or is it light like a float rod? [ Post made via Android ]

Not an experienced Wally guy but I can tell you this, think like a fish!. Weed lines are hugely prominent features on lakes that harbor plenty of bass and pike, so what do the walleyes do? They work the weeds. The bait will be around cover and warmer water, and also the bait will get pushed by current and wind. Put those factors together and you have to concentrate on weedlines, and feeder creeks adjacent to points, rocky structure where the wind pushes the bait to concentrate. Once those spots are located, identify the primary forage of the walleye based on the main baitfish in the lake. From there either jig that walleye holding weedline, creek channel, etc or troll the contours with the worm harness or crankbait setups. If the walleye are fat and lazy go slow and give them a substantial offering to sate the appetite, if they don't hit then give the presentation a burst of speed to trigger an unwilling biter. From what I know, walleye fishermen don't happen overnight but they are generally very good and can catch any other fish no problem. So try, fine tune, rinse and repeat.
