  1. glad to read stories like this , you made your dad feel like on top of the world . you and your dad will never for get that fishing trip . yes congrats to you guys .
  2. the fishing been unbelievable , i tell how i did to others and they kinda look at me as to say (yeah right ) and by 10:30 my fishing partner is hinting he is ready to quit .. i also would like to know when your fly is ready for sale . its funny that i have 400 A Tom mik flies and i just been running the flies i bought from you and doing very well with them..nice report Mike
  3. if you like them that much by all means eat as much as you can still taste like shyt to me !!!!!!!!!
  4. they said the same thing about the finger lakes lake trout . maybe that is how lake Superior got it name ,the lake trout are the best tasting fish in the Great Lakes .
  5. Cayuga 2/24 Back at deans cove for some more lake trout pounding . started fishing just outside the cones in 40 fow and soon started hitting small and LL and bows . we trolled east to the shoals we spent the last 3 times out . i was running Gamblers rigs micro frog behind a green pro troll on a dipsy rod out 160 ft of wire . lost count how many lakers this set up took . the other dipsy was set up with a spiny two face and Iron Duke uv wild child fly out 250 ft of wire . witch was also productive , but the micro rig did better . the seth green rigs with mi stinger spoons in goby and copper back , frog , uv pink . std barney , and white and green dot took LL and lake trout the lead cores on boards didn't do well for us at all, took 1 LL after several changes . the wind kick in and made it hard to stay on the shoals i wanted to stay on and after a while i trolled back to the west side to finish up a grate day of fishing . just before deans was in sight in around 200 fow the dipsy with the micro set up took a ripping hit before i could get the rod from the holder it was over , when i got the flasher back in the micro was gone ( BUMMER ) seems the over hand knot was not very well tied .. we took no pics today release all fish as soon as possible .. the west wind push the weeds pods off the fishing grounds and a sight bit of fleas showed up on the braid lines of the seth green rods ..
  6. the link said 1 to 3 ft building 2 to 4 ft and most likely be 2 to 4 to start . sunday didn't look any better
  7. i refer 1/4 aluminum backing if you use wood use a hardwood and fender washers
  8. i am disappointed too ,been trying for two weeks to go to Olcott . with high west winds looks like Cayuga lake .
  9. i am with your wife , there isn't a good way to cook lake trout .. the maple syrup sounds good over fish like LL
  10. along with the debris . wack a the kicker prop twice with short pieces of sticks .

    Oil

    shell rotella 15 w 40 diesel is good oil been using it for years now . you said that you are doing a new install of a motor . is it a crate motor new from mercury? if so might need brake in oil / or mercury oil to keep from voiding warranty .
  12. no put the track on top of the gunnel and the backing plate under the gunnel the bolts go threw the tracks and the backing pate then use lock nuts
  13. by looking at your pics i would remove the step in pad from the gunnel and get a set of tracks and used 1/4 inch aluminum plate . they make a step in pads that fit into the tracks . when not being used for the down riggers
  14. i was on the north end Saturday no fleas , weeds were a pain.
  15. i agree first time buying a panther motor bracket . the one that came on my boat is wood mounting pad but only rated for a two stroke . i tried to find a new wood mounting pad on the web but all i would find is plastic .as i said above we change things up, working good now.
  16. i have the navionics platinum hot maps . Bass pro had it on sale think i paid 160 $ if you want to call that a sale i have no regrets
  17. awesome job guys very nice report . Fishstix you guys are the energy bunny you just keep going and going .
  18. i been seeing charting boats from Seneca lake on Cayuga lake is Eaglerlock one of them .
  19. it is the best i seen on the lake . just have watch out for the drug people steeling your boat stuff was post on here a member left his boat there and came back to no kicker and gear . i know that goes for every where but been a lot of kickers been stolen in the area . and that is not the marina fault either .
  20. nice job , how long did it take you from the public launch to the lake at idle speed .
  21. thanks Mike your flies were a steady pick of fish at time we had the 2 dipsy rods and a rig rod going at once .
  22. rod 1 is 12 ft between beads rod 2 is 15 ft between beads . 2 ft from weight to first bead . depending on conditions and speed depends on what lb weight i will use . most of the time 2 lb weights will do . you can run 5 leaders and up to 15 points . if i am fishing lake trout the bottom seems the best . that will work the water column bottom 65 ft to 75 ft up. the leaders are 12 ft long . i use a leader box to keep my leaders in (see above pic open and id pic is the leader box closed) if i am going to run cowbells and spin&glows i use a 3 way swivel rig and put weight and bells to that instead of the beads then skip the first bead and then 4 leaders of spoons . when marking fish threw the water column i count down the ft to the top leader . like i want the top leader at ft 30 down that be around 6 pass of the level wind on the reel . i think that answers your questions if you think of any more let me know .
