Bob, If anyone can help you with that it is Hank at L & M .....not much time left before the derby...good luck with it....
-
Geez Kevin... you're going to end up with "Popeye arms" from hauling in all those Crappies and gills Some great eating right there... -
Nick has got big shoulders Mike he can take it.... -
Dave's Body Shop and Towing has bait right on East lake Road in Honeoye on your left just as you travel south from 20A on East Lake Road - not sure of his hours though
-
Man...those styrofoam fish of Nick's look pretty real don't they?
-
Good one Joe
-
Me too.....but I just happened to think "What if I don't get into them good this year"....I'd be screwed.....you guys would have a field day on me for sure....oh well we northenders function better under pressure anyway
-
I agree Sean and rest assured I was only TOTALLY JOKING about it.....and besides....nobody would believe that a south ender had ever caught a big fish to begin with
-
:lol: I guess I hope they do a stomach analysis on Sean's fish because he probably froze up that Lake O laker just waiting to enter it in the Seneca derby (one year that actually did happen in the derby by the way but the officials caught it right away)

Jason - best of luck with it .....go get em man.... -
Just substitute pics of us north enders with lakers like that during the derby and you guys will have a real pic P.S. I don't think I've ever been as excited about a derby as much as this one for some reason !

Nothing like a good captain with a great attitude
-
Nice work Kevin. It has been slow for me this season for the crappie....just missed a run at one of my spots by a day or so....must be slipping up Keep at em. Les -
We're lovin it.....and getting ready to give you fellas some lessons on north end fishing...you guys have gotten soft from catching those gold fish bowl landlocks ...

Best wishes for a very Happy Birthday Chad (day after mine....cool!) -
The absolute best bait I ever used for big carp (and catfish as well) is corn meal balls (cooked in a pressure cooker until they are like soft play dough and made about the size of a marble
-
The first thing I consider is getting SOLID RING (not split ring) swivels The split ring type can cut the line with heavy fish (it cost me a real money fish a few years ago in a derby)
-
It is interesting given the size and nature of Ithaca (right at the end of the lake, a lot of tourism etc.) that there isn't a tackle store right there.... my daughter goes to college there and I spent a morning a while back looking for a tackle place unsuccessfully. You would think that it would be a pretty good market with the lake so close by. I did notice though that a lot of actual shopping is done outside of town (e.g. Triphammer Mall) other than the great restaurants and a few clothing boutiques etc.

I think the problem you encountered is more related to weather factors than anything else...the incredibly cold winter we had has set back the clock on things environmentally. For example the trees around here appear about a week or two behind the usual (still budded instead of full fledged leaves etc. Most folks are reporting colder than usual water temps in close and the bait appears to still be out deep in many places yet so the fish aren't in in the usual numbers yet where they might be expected. You might try working out deeper than usual for this time of year and toward the bottom and also look for wherever you can find bait pods and fish that area. At this time of year wind direction can really mess up the water no matter where you are fishing...sometimes in just a few hours.

From the great report this is what fishing is really all about - having fun with good folks you want to be with and doing stuff you enjoy doing while sharing and learning! Hats off to you guys and thanks for the report! -
WTG Good report and nice fish....and your girlfriend fishes with you....doesn't get much better than that! -
Actually there isn't one.....we bust each others cayunes but the "south enders" are a great bunch of guys and we have a lot of respect for them....on the other hand Sampson
-
Actual silver plating as on Sutton Spoons.....has the greatest visibility under water....not real durable finish over time but VERY effective
-
Very cool! -
Ditto on Chris' comments....you know it was tough fishing if you guys had trouble....Les
