Haha I saw this king before I got on the LOU nice fish. You know who and I picked two off Hamlin beach last Easter and you beat us by a few weeks with this guy! [ Post made via Android ]

Good to know! Ya I have a motorguide brute 67 so i have no problem staying in place once I get it down. But you are right finding a concentration of fish on that lake just seems to be a chore. If I could find them I am sure I could jig them though. Anyway you guys have me thinking that a trip to Keuka or Cayuga may be in my near future. And if I start to get fish I will no doubt throw pics and reports all over this section as I will be overjoyed I finally got a laker on a jig. Also the smallies on Canandaigua are pretty dang mysterious too.

Welll a huge thank you to those who saved my trip Sat!! I ended up going to Canandaigua Lake and after a bit of searching we pounded them. I was the only one out of three guys who kept fish but I went home with 40 and we caught twice that amount. Mostly 9-10 in fish but some good ones were mixed in. Also caught a massive pickeral which was pretty cool.

Ha I am dumb, Ya it's mostly at Canadaigua. I would love to try some other lakes but they are a longer haul and Canandaigua does waste as much gas or take up my whole day. But ya I would love to get on one of those lakes that are loaded with lakers

Haha the whole lake is a drop off! But basically 30 to 60 feet on the transition. Sounds good. Is that white tower just a bit south of ononda park the white rock that people talk about? Cause I have heard the shelf near the white rock is good. But yea I marked on fish in 120 fow but was past him before I could get my trolling motor in reverse and get on him. I need some more arcs so I will prowl the drop offs. Are you fishing the north or south side? [ Post made via Android ]

So I have generally been pretty interested in jigging up some FLX lakers and have gotten a lot of good info from this site. I have all the gear, lures, and know how but I can't find lakers to jig to! The problem is that I can never seem to find a concentration of marks on the bottom, and when I am slowly cruising along and I see a single mark but by the time I turn the motor off, run to the front and get on the trolling motor I am already past it and can't find it again. Basically I am wondering how you guys locate lakers and stay on them of its a lone fish. [ Post made via Android ]

Huge huge thanks to you. We will turn to canandaigua [ Post made via Android ]

Hey guys I am selling a brand new Navionics chip that has not been used once. I took it out of the package and found it did not work for my graph and back in it went. I will be purchasing a new chip but I cannot use this one. This chip can be an awesome tool for an angler to take his game to the next level. The 2012 edition has over 1000+ HD lakes (including 300 new) and 15,000+ total lakes (including 1,000 new) in 5 huge regions. This detail adds up to more fish in the boat and more knowledge of the structure. The chip retails for $150 but I will sell for $120 local pickup (Rochester, Brockport) or $130 shipped. Exact product specs are as follows: Navionics HotMaps Premium 2- GB- CF; East; CF/PREM-E6. PM if interested! [ Post made via Android ]

That's reassuring, thank you! [ Post made via Android ]

That's good, nor do I want him to as his business would suffer however, I would love to know simply how to properly fish the three way rig on the Bar. If anyone has any info please please help [ Post made via Android ]

Hey guys I just wanted to clarify this once and for all. I was at the Niagara Bar the other day and we drifted three way rigs. Now we were in the proper location and we had all the right equipment but I caught three trout and my buddy hooked and lost three. However one boat in particular, a red Lund with a huge optimax motor was slamming them on the exact drift we were on. Now what the heck! I thought the mechanics of the drift were to point the bow into the current and drop the three way straight down. Then when you come from 70 to 20 the weight moves up by reeling meanwhile the current pushes the minnow cause its lighter behind the weight. So in essence the minnow is the first thing the trout sees cause they face into the current. So basically the minnow is ,behind the boat if you consider the bow into the current, behind the bottom tapping weight and its the first of all the objects the trout sees. Is this correct??

We were the 20ft Tracker with two people in it. Yah it seemed as if those trout were stuffed to the brim. How did you do? And if you don't mind me asking how do you envision your rig working underwater in relation to boat position and current? [ Post made via Android ]

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): Time on Water: Weather/Temp: Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: Surface Temp: Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 6 Total Boated:3 Species Breakdown: Hot Lure: 3 way rig with emeralds and one on the jig Trolling Speed: Down Speed: Boat Depth: Lure Depth: ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== So I got out to the bar for my first drift fishing trip ever. My buddy are totally new to this so we read up on drift fishing and gave the bar our best go. All the guys out there said the bite was tough but we managed six hits and only I boated my three fish, as my buddy lost all his. I pulled up a football and a Laker on the three way and I nailed another beauty brown as I jigged the green can. All in all it was pretty slow and we were fishing for 6-7 hours. It was only at the end of our trip that a seasoned vet told us that we should have been slightly dragging the three way rather than drifting it straight up and down with the speed of the boat. I had always thought the current would move the minnow downstream of the pencil lead and the boat on a horizontal drift but the way the guy explained it is that we should have had our nose down current and our rigs on a 70 degree angle from the back of the boat while tapping bottom, and that the trolling motor on a low speed would help accomplish this. It seems to me that this is like a creeping troll rather than a true drift. Can you seasoned Niagara guys confirm if the advice I was given was correct? Also here are the pics [ Post made via Android ]

Yah we will just be drifting and jigging. No K words in our future . Thanks for the quick response! [ Post made via Android ]

Hey guys a buddy and I want to fish the lower drifts and or out in front of the fort for lakers. How is the river and will it be good Sat? [ Post made via Android ]

Hey guys so I think I have isolated the problem. The outlet and the plug are def not the problem. However I was testing the power cables that run to the foot pedal and I found that the selector switch when switched to the 12v setting allowed 12v to flow to the power button and I confirmed this with the voltmeter. I then flipped the selector switch to the 24v setting and I tested the wires to the power button and got a dead reading. So I am assuming the burnout I heard this morning was the toggle switch for the 24v setting. So did I burn the selector? [ Post made via Android ]

So your saying that my problem could be the male end of the plug? Cause I just checked my female end of the plug and it is indeed receiving both 12 and 24 volts. This morning I tried the motor again on the 24 v setting and I heard a faint clicking and then smelled a wisper of smoke which can't be good. I was thinking perhaps it was a selector switch issue or maybe I should just update the male and female plugs as they are pretty old. [ Post made via Android ]

Well I am bringing this back to life because I cant get this figured out. I bought some nice new batteries and made the series connection and check everything with a voltmeter. What I found is that I am getting 24 volts perfectly up to the female receptacle and the motor runs just fine on the 12v setting. But then as I am feeling confident, I switch it from 12 to the 24 setting and I get nothing. I know for a fact I have enough juice running to the outlet to power the 24v side of things and the 12v setting works perfectly. So is something wrong in the foot pedal of the motor or with the selector switch? Cause to me the problem seems to be from the male receptacle to the foot pedal. Please help!

They are there! Set up on the piers with a best mudline and cast spoons, sticks and lets not forget soft plastics on heavy jig heads
