Keep'n it Reel

Right now the best bet for browns is to fish where the thermocline meets the bottom but they do wander as well. And during the winter you can throw temps out the window obviously. So fish the bait browns are aggressive feeders I got a lot on my 5 and 7 color lead cores but consistently for the bigger ones I got them in a 10 color. Black and purple, brown, red, white spoons all are good choices

Haha on hell yes was right their with you on that the browns also were crazy last winter and some good ones to. I changed boats have a 18' center console now so can even fish the chop now where before the ripples became a concern. Did you ever fish the east side at all

I think I remember seeing the boat I use to use a small northport troller out their all winter had 2 walker riggers and PVC triple trees on the front I was their every week

Do you fish the south end of Seneca in the winter?

Be great full for the luxuries we all have an the simple things we all take for granted. God bless those that have lost their life's defending us thank you all

I like catching just saying!!!! Haha

Well launched at the state park agin this time, looking to get a few last lake kings in!! Left the pier heads at about 5.30 and went right out front hit 65fow set down and set lines started trolling east screen was not the best so kept searching from 70 to 90 worked to 100 a few time on that pass to marked a few fish trolled almost to moon beach then made a turn get heading back and the 300 took a rip double crush green glow spinny with Seneca ghost fly didn't stay buttoned up! Kept the west troll going hoping that the bite may just be directional but no such luck. Head the news of a few fish in 200fow so turned out and started heading that way hit 150fow and the screen went blank still kept going hit 200 and nothing so started to troll back in was talking with a few friends out fishing and was told about a nice coho landed and few dropped fish on that inside water so decided to give it another chance before calling it a day. Hit 70fow and the screen completely changed had fish moving in and out of the riggers had fish suspend had them on the bottom so changed a few things and was not long and the 55 rigger goes with meat on it nice steelhead about 10lbs right after that 125 dippy goes screaming with white green dot with a green hammer fly high teen king make a turn head back towards those spots and the 147 dippy with chrome green dot and hammer fly goes drop that one at the back of the boat fished rolled in the prop wash and hook straightened out. Turn around for another pass I watch the 125 dippy slam comes straight back up slack thought the wire snapped but it was just the leader broke so retie another one and back out it went made another turn and just about to get back to the waypoints when we hear Brendan say hey you have a fish kicking on the surface on that same line your on maybe the one you lost earlier, well it was but not the one that came unhooked it was the one that broke us off netted it with my white green dot and hammer combo still hooked up to it and the missing 5' of my leader. I found that cool I have never done that before so made a memory on that one!!!! Well made a turn and started heading back to the ramp slowly picking gear had one last smack on the rigger but didn't keep a hook in it!!! Ended the day 2 for 5 with fish fought but got the 3rd fish in the boat with out ever hearing drag pull Just a scope of a net hahaha!

Good fishing chop
