Here is the original "brown" that was winning.

Sounds like 1 side of a story.
The DEC staff were there for many years and did the measuring and Identification and they bailed out a couple years ago from the process and apparently the Sessler owners of Samsen weren't real cooperative or excited about having a weigh station there.

The lake isn't dead. Guys complain about the one weekend they fish the lake each year. The derby. The lake has had its slow years but so did its sister lakes. The derby always gets unlucky and is during the transition period of the lake. Weeks before and a week after its a light switch.
The slams are plentiful!nice slam there Nick! That ain't easy on the "on life support sea" [emoji38]

Some keepers the boys kept Sunday. Never found any big ones this year. Had fun. Lots of fish and laughs. My customers have fished the derby 9 years now....
Ready for next year!
Proof Seneca isn't the dead sea...
Later!

Bobby. My sister also had a fish ID issue, that was weighed in watkins glen on Saturday. A brown. They classified as a salmon.... Pretty sure Saturday was all FLX trollers association members?

Sampson and volunteers.

Thats not the entire story.
I'm not sure what the situation was but I spoke with staff the guy running the weigh station and he said they were having a hard time finding any volunteers to man the weigh stations and that is why Samsen didn't have a weigh station. I noticed when I weighed my fish that there didn't seem to be any DEC people present that used to identify the fish as well as weigh and measure them.....and that may be the source of the problem or others as well.

No fee!!!!
the plan is to launch at Lodi state park, i'm just not sure about where's closest place to weigh in fish
i'd hate to have to pay at sampson just to weigh in, maybe watkins

No fee to enter the park!!!!!!
Really depends on where your fishing and how long of a drive it is for you. You’ll more than likely have to pay to enter the Sampson park if your not launching out of there. Other weigh locations is Watkins and Geneva. Both are good and have room to park. If your close to the North end you could go by boat via canal to Stivers Marine. Sometimes it’s tight in there depending how many boats are in weighing. Other times it’s empty. Plenty of options.

3 years ago was a success let's hope this spring and the falls treatment are a HUGE success.

Usually pay at weigh in. Next year I'll do the venmo thing. If someone decides not to come to weigh in and is honest and wants to venmo me, I'll accept it.
Nick
Ok, got it. Thanks Brett. Pay entry fee at weigh in or PayPal/Venmo in advance?

What Brett said.
Anywhere on Seneca.Nick, do we need to launch at Sampson for this or is it ok to launch elsewhere and drive to Sampson for the weigh in?

Thanks. I don't mind sharing info at all. We are all out there to target fish and have fun. No competitive drive here on my end. Just love fishing.
One thing I forgot to mention about browns, find them and you find smallies!
Thanks for the kind words Les.
NickThanks guys I've caught a fair amount of them trolling during the day but it's always kind of a surprise. And I'm looking for a chalange or maybe a way to target them specificly. I understand the temps and also know fishing the fingers is a whole different ball game than fishing lake Ontario. Thanks Seth. I always look forward to your opinions on topics. And also thanks Nick with I respect you giving up info knowing it can effect your business publicly sharing your secrets. Tite line guys and all of the luck to you this season

Look for temp! 57-60° where it meets bottom is best. Work on and off the shelf. I enjoy using more natural colors for them. Don't be afraid to run mag spoons too.
2.0 to 2.7 works well at ball speed..
Not uncommon to find them in 65° water as well when they are feeding.

I was in the canal wed night. It wasn't too bad. The north wind should keep it at bay..
