That's one heck of a compliment coming from those guys Jeremy

Probably could use a few more sticks and spoons from the looks of it

Brian you and Bob are killing me. He's knocking the crap out of the rainbows on Seneca right now and here you are on Cayuga doing the same on the LL's, browns and lakers. Makes me question my judgment going after the perch instead of trout yesterday on Canandaigua. Either way it points up the fact that "life is great in the Finger Lakes"

Thanks to all those who participated and congrats to my Vet brothers. wish I could have been there but had other previous commitments. Looked as though they got into some real nice fish.

Nice recap Jeremy and very respectable box. Congrats to Brian and company....

Don- We've had a lot of back and forth on here about sliders (sometimes called cheater) with a lot of posts on it. Basically it is this: Sliders are short sections of line (e.g.2-8 ft long) with a swivel at each end used to run a second lure on a single downrigger. They can be free sliding or fixed at a certain point on your main line once it is let out in a number of ways (different types of "releasing mechanisms from use of rubbber bands to specific designed releases). . The process is basically you run out your main lure as usual and fix it in your regular downrigger release about 15 ft down. Then you attach one swivel on the end of short section of fluoro or mono (slider) with your selected lure at the other end right on the mainline and fasten the snap and let it slide down the mainline and let your downrigger down to the desired depth. The slider lure will seek its own depth and it may vary with speed and depth and weight or type of lure up and down the mainline and often locates in the bow of the mainline. Fish will sometimes come very close to the boat or right into the prop wash to grab the slider lure (usually a spoon). This process allows you to run two spoons per downrigger rather than stacking multiple rods per downrigger. The fixed slider is usually attached with a rubber band or other desired release to the downrigger wire at a specific depth after the main lure is deployed normally and it maintains the spoon at that depth rather than allowing it to slide up and down the mainline. Either of these versions can be very effective catching trout or salmon and with a little care major tangles can be avoided. I have run them since the seventies and I use them nearly always and they account for nearly half the fish caught most of the time.

Good report too.

Well said

Sweet looking rig and looks like pretty close to "mint" condition....hope it finds a good home

Geez Justin......have to be careful filleting them they may have a football inside

Man John those nearshore temps sure flipped big time didn't they?

Ah.... makes sense. The one I caught on an ultralight rod and reel fought real well and I too initially thought it was a bass until I got a look at it

I really find it hard to believe that someone hasn't snapped up this boat. It has put money fish in the box in numerous derbies when I've also fished in nearby in my own boat and I've seen it out in all sorts of weather capably holding its own real well on Seneca Lake. It is set up great for multispecies fishing as well as jigging for trout and trolling etc. The guy who owns it is a very reputable and capable fisherman who is just moving to another boat as many folks do. There have to be folks out there looking to get into the game wanting a proven boat set up for fishing that is just sitting waiting for the right person who doesn't have one already. It would even make a great winter fishing boat on the Fingers for someone who may have a larger less manageable one for that purpose.
