Rippin'Line

Decided to brave the weather and see what we could find. Marked alot of surface fish that ended up being smallmouth suspended 10 down over 60 to 90 ft of water. Kept slamming em on the flatline with a 4inch rap. Ended up with no trout however. Moved off the bottom to try and find something besides lakers. We did just that. Just they happened to be bass and not browns, bows, or LL's. Fun morning however. Biggest smallie was 4 pounds. [ Post made via Android ]

Ended up going the day after and hooked a screamer on the dispy. got the thing to the boat and snapped my floro leader from my spinny to my fly. Then we landed a steelie 120 back on #3 setting and a small king on a NK NBK. Decent morning of course after the storm went through. We then decided to troll through the bay with deep diving thundersticks and managed 2 drums and two pike with the one pike weighing in at 14lb 2 oz. good day of fishing up til 3 when ac became my best friend.

Went 2 for 6 today. Not great odds but a fish is a fish. 2 hits were on a stinger scorpion dirty white boy and another on stinger scorpion mixed veggies. Also ran dispsies with NK C5 which took nothing and a dippy with a mt dew spin doc and green monkey puke DW fly which took 2 hits. Layers landed were a 2 pounder and 5 pounder. Good day just to get out. [ Post made via Android ]

perfect. thanks

Recently came across some older (late 90s) NKs and Suttons. The tape job on them either isn't that great or its starting to peel. Is there a better way to remove it other than scratching it up? [ Post made via Android ]

Thats awesome. Hm. May have to make the run there [ Post made via Android ]

Didi the exact same thing. Popped a 18inch laker oni t. never knew it was there until we pulled the ball up and the little guy was splashing around with a mag spoon hanging out of its mouth.

Came right out and banged 2 lakers in the first 45 minutes. One off Spin doc hammertime and hammertime DW fly and the other off a stinger scorpion bumblee both off riggers. Then the wind picked up and it shut right down. Had what appeared to be a decent LL that took my flatline with a 4 inch rap on it but as soon as it took there were 2 headshakes and gone Lakers were your average 3 to 4 pounders. Nothing impressive today. Probably done for the week down there. Going to whack Lake O this weekend in the big boat for kings

Thanks guys. I got cannons now and have had fair success with em. I've been wanting to try some different ones out though. Polly try the blacks and scotties [ Post made via Android ]

I keep seeing on miscellaneous threads about blacks releases. Whats the big fuss about?

I have a suggestion. If you are a facebook account holder get on their page and post photos to their wall of the paint peeling off and complain. I htink then name of the page is Team Stinger. Then that way others see this. I personally havent had a problem yet with them. Maybe i have just been lucky.

Where are these fish at? Ive been banging lakers off the bottom all spring. Ive caught bows and LL as well but have yet to find a brown. Should i just keep running the thermocline for em like the LL's and Bows or try something different?

several of my buddies and I have been able to find some walleyes in several areas around the canal towrds Lyons area. Just wondering if anybody knows what part of the water column they tend to hang out in there. we've been banging them on cranks mostly but theyre generally 16 to 20 inches max. Only got one around 5lbs. Any canal advice?

Good book with valuable info but I find just getting out there and learning on your own better than any book. Not diminish the book any I learned from it. [ Post made via Android ]

Whats a cowbell? [ Post made via Android ]

Hahaha yeah. Thought I had a state record laker or something. [ Post made via Android ]

Wow man, its sorry to hear that. Its amazing what some people will do. Unfortunately I see this working seeing as how I work Loss Prevention at a retail store catching shoplifters. But as far as fishing goes I generally let people have tackle if something is working for me and go as far as to show them the techniques I use (not all of course ) but stealing tackle from anther fisherman is blasphemy in my book. Anyways good luck on finding your stuff. I hope for the best and ill keep an eye out if im up there anytime soon. Maybe ill get to catch I tackle thief [ Post made via Android ]

The three we kept for dinner:)

Hit canadice about 8 a.m. sunday morning and managed to go 4 for 5 on lakers. Biggest one weighed in on my personal scale at 7 pounds 6 ounces and the smallest being 1 all of 14 inches so he got burped and sent back down to the bottom. The interesting part of the day was a a laker that took an alewive colored spoon at 80 foot down then swam up and took a black and silver rap being trolled on the surface.Wasnt until we did a rod check did we notice the little guy with two lures in his mouth. The funny part of the day was when the left rigger fired with my caramel dolphin stinger and lined started screaming. My first though was who released a king into Canadice? Anyways i was getting headshake but wasnt gaining any line. Finally determined that there must be a sunkin log and branches 90 ft down and we snagged one of the branches and it was swaying in the current. Retired that lure early. All in all it was a good day. Nabbed some lakers in the morn then hit honeoye at night for eyes. However that only produced bass but fun none the less. Tight lines.

Banged a laker this morn in 80 over 90 bout 6 pounds. Came home for the grill. Hit 3 others but lost em all. one laker off the rigger. Two others were browns or bows 50 down over 90. May have had LL off a stick but it was gone as soon as it struck. Post a pic later. On the LOU board now in class. HAHAH! [ Post made via Android ]
