Excellent job Ed [ Post made via Android ]

Sounds to me like when you're trimming, you're causing an excessive pressure on the shift cable which in return is linked to the throttle control plate? Is there a loose bolt or two or how about a stiff cable. I know it is recommended that when bellows and what nots are done, a shift cable is on the list too... Just by experience....

Cancelled... how about fishing the Seneca Shootout [ Post made via Android ]

flyak, Were you fishing out of watkins a few weeks ago? with the kyak that you pedal? ...... If so, looked like an awesome setup...

Listen to Sean and Hermit. They both have said everything that I would say. Another great spoon is the DW SS Bloodydeath. This is a purple ladderback spoon. PRODUCES!! I too use the orange spoons as well. Can't go wrong. Don't be afraid to run a Michigan Stinger Copper Mass Confusion, Bright or Gloomy Day... Nick

Well, Mike Burt- the duke-ster got the pre fishing days covered for me, with those big bows and browns oh and my big Salmon! Well, Saturday morning hitting the lake, we knew right where to go. Had some clients from PA aboard. I first off wanna state how great they were and that it will be my pleasure to have them back again in the future. With that said, I have heard they will be back next year. Anyways, We ran north and hit our hole from the day prior. We set up shop, with the 4th rod out we hit a small salmon, get the spread down, another salmon. Next thing I know, the line is screaming, Inline 200 copper, bobber down, after a fifteen minute fight, we get a 6.21 lb brown in the boat. Set the rod down, and the other core fires, bobber down, After another nice fight, a 5 lb brown hits the deck. We hit many more small salmon. While working the western shore, the 300 copper went. Yup you guessed it, BOBBER DOWN. After a nice fight on our OKUMA Clarion, another 5.5 lb brown hits the deck. At this point that morning fog had lifted, slowing the bite way down. We worked out area, and moved out deeper. Hoping to get the silvers to start biting. Zip. Worked the west shore back south and hit some lake trout and a few more salmon. We finished with around 12 fish saturday. Saturday night, Joe and I headed out at 5 to fish for a couple hours. We ran two rods. 150-250 down dragging bottom. The lake trout bite was on but could not get anything over 3 pounds. Sunday, had 5 clients from the wells.. These guys were not in the derby. With the prior nights laker bite, I fugured we would set up the same spread, but fuller. We hit salmon and browns instantly. All of a sudden, the Dreamweaver SS Bloody Death spoon on the 150 copper, SCREAAAAAAAMMMMMM! Yup, Bobber down!! This guy was tired, I mean the client. He fought the fish for quite some time, boating a 7.4 pound atlantic. Beauty. We were on fish, hit some more salmon nothing of the size. We hit a few more fish. We heard the bite was on north. We ran up the lake. As soon as we set up we hit a nice 5.5 lb brown. Worked the area south. Hit a rainbow. GRAND SLAM!! Hit a few more smaller salmon. Made the run back to the dock. Cleaned shop And Joe and Lil Mike and I went back out to run the program the night before. The Temps were back!!! We trolled the south 150 line and moved up the best side boating some lakers, nothing to speak of but had a blast watching the sunset and enjoying a few good laughs with the raw washdown ... Monday, Had a client from Jersey on board. He entered the derby. we setup on the east shore, trolling across the mouth. HOLY DEBRIS. We Hit numerous salmon and a small brown. We Were heading north of the plant and the rigger rod goes straight down, FISH ON! Hit a nice 5 lb brown on DW SS Lemon Ice. Made a turn to pass back through there and got a small bow about 13 inches, As we head south, the debris field had covered some lines. I cleaned up and changed the spoon on a 200 copper to my secret O&M Spoon. I set the rod, and went to grab a snack out of the cabin, as soon as I set foot down the step I hear SCREEEEEEAAAMMMM!!! BOBBER DOWN, the client had asked me to help out on this one, So i worked the board in and let him take over from there. After a few more minutes off battle with a charging, and running fish, boat boated a beautiful 6 pound Atlantic. Really nice fish. Page was really happy and said this one fish made his trip worth it. This was the only fish he wanted to keep. We fished for a few more minutes and picked up when the storm moved in and the other boat stole my leadcore!! Hope everyone had a blast, and is going to attend the SENECA SHOOTOUT!!

Nick, did you get my pm? [ Post made via Android ]

BAndrus, I have convinced the girlfriend this is the only answer.. a 21 footer on Seneca and the 28 trophy on Ontario... She wants a camper anyways!!

Well, Seneca..... I can tell you thats why cayuga guys do not fish it! Its too challenging We all have rough days. Seneca can be an unforgiving........ . Right now, fishing on Seneca is tougher than any time of the year. We are waiting for the temperatures to set up. Its working its way there. The bait is on the move and so are the fish. We all have our normal stomping ground on Seneca aka "honey holes". I slip in Watkins Glen so that narrows it down for ya. Chances are you will find me on the west side of the lake. West is best East is least.... I fish the middle of the lake once summer hits full throttle. I will start with a down and out pattern every time out. I run a 13-15 rod spread. Im fortuante for the width of my boat. We run 3 riggers, 4 dipsys, 3 coppers, 3 leadcores. The coppers/cores are off Church Inline boards. The riggers, we fish temperatures when they finally show. RIght now, chances are you can get slamon flat lining, and get them down 135 foot on riggers/ divers. This makes it tough to reallt target fish, unless you fish in close to shore for the fiesty browns. Our dipsys, we run spoons on 2 and flasher flies on the other. Flashers we run deep on magnums, out 220-280 The fish tell us what they want generally, the go to all summer is around 260 for me. The spoon dipsy I am runnin a 001 dipsy on wire out 175-250 as well. This rod pulls quite a few bows.. I can tell you that i run all light spoons for the most part, DW, MS... My favorite rods all summer are the 300 copper and the 12 color core. I run ball speed 2.2-2.5 mph. Some guysthink I run too fast. Let them think that as I can produce some fish. I try to avoid getting toom many lakers, as I like clients to see a fish that gives a bit of a show. The lakers just thump.. You can always give us a shout if youre on the water. you will find us monitoring 68.. Welcome to call as well, my cells on my website. Be on the water all day sunday! Tight lines! Keep em wet! Nick

dave, watkins glen still has not signed off on the shootout. They are making this tough to happen this year. The first ever might not happen till next year. I will have an update as soon as I get more info.

Boy, reading these reports make it easier to want to make the decision to move the boat North. All of the reports this year have been great. Keep them coming. Luckily I have a few of you that I can get on lady O with. Thank you. Maybe after this year, I'll make the move. My boat is ready, but it's do hard to justify the drive. Can't beat only being fifteen miles from the boat. Anyway, thank you for all the good reads. I look forward to joining you all in the future. Keep the great reports coming...
