  1. So how did you two make out yesterday in the torrential-monsoon-downpour?

    I bet you were the only two DIEHARDS out in that mess, I'm proud of you for trying anyway!!!!

    :yes:

  2. Try trolling crawler harnesses with a bottom bouncer or a three-way rig. We usually find them in less than 20 FOW, although this evening we went out for a couple hours and got skunked! Casting stick baits at night works too. You have to work for them.

  3. If the fish is injured (gill hooked and bleeding, belly up, etc) or if you just take a few odd fish each season “injured fish making up the major portion of theseâ€. This is what I try to encourage folks to do as we let by and far most of our Essex go, >>95%. It concerns me that on Conesus how many Essex are keep. Look at the Facebook website and you will see how many people are yanking them out of that lake. A large % of these are not released (you can often tell by the photo) and I’m surprised the fishery still stands up to it to tell you the truth.

    Excuse me if I'm off topic

     

    What in hell is an ESSEX?????   Speak English and it may make some sense.

  4. Thursday evening we tried everthing from drop shot to trolling cranks to live worms with no luck. The kid was so enthusiastic I really wanted to get him a fish. He told his parents he wanted to catch a northern pike but they aren't plentiful in the bay. I felt bad that we got skunked on Thursday evening and told them to meet me at the dock Sunday at 6:30 AM. I swung for the fence and headed for no-mans land right down the middle in the deepest part and threw out the big deep divers. This beauty hit 20 down over 80FOW!

    It made his day/vacation and was one of the most rewarding fishing trips I've ever had.Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

  5. I'll take all of those terrible ReefRunners that you guys can't use! The ReefRunners DO need tuning, but really, it only takes about 5 seconds and it's worth the effort........and they're made in the USA!
