    Shore fishing in Aruba?

    We went out on the charter and brought back fish then it was prepared for us at the restaurant. I'd highly recommend it and if you catch a tuna have it prepared saviche style, best meal I have ever had!
    As far as shore fishing I saw a few small Bone fish but no one fishing.. snorkeling was fun take a bagel out with you and you will have hundreds of little buddies eating outta your hand.

    Just made it with walleye I just caught on the st Lawrence a couple weeks ago.

    Not real happy.... dont get me wrong it was outstanding.....but everybody ate it

    and now its gone.

    Thanks again Bob.

    Walleye for that recipe would be super sweet, almost like candy, my wife is allergic to seafood and I made her walleye with garlic n butter this year said she couldn't eat it because it reminded her of scallops.  Go figure.. she likes trout/salmon better.. She does love this recipe for the chowder though but if it had walleye in it, no way!

    Rollie dust off the Arima and roll it north!! Thanks a bunch for the insight on those they not only look great but catch fish!!  

    But seriously the launch there at Taughannock is too shallow for a bigger boat. So if anyone drafts over 2' I would go to Deans cove. Heck fishing usually is better up there anyway.

    We've done this this winter top water trolling for years with tremendous success in January however the last six years the top water bite has been minimal which baffles me. Our logs show many days of 20 silvers plus coming off the surface until about 2010 then it has died off, is it bait, it can't be temp with the warm winters that we've had. There's certainly plenty of fish.

     

    There's plenty of fellow anglers on this board that I've fished with so they know the history so I would like to hear opinions.

    My theory on that is the smelt are the ones that still hang out up near the surface and the alewifes are the deep fish. The fish I caught were in small areas near bait that was up near the surface.  The fish finder showed a few tight balls of bait about 30-50' down I'm guessing smelt or maybe fingerling perch.. The fish I kept had empty stomachs except the lakers which had large alewifes in them. Being that the smelt population has been on the decline it may go along that the winter fishing has declined or that the fish are just feeding a lot deeper.

    Hit Taughannock this morning at 8am and I was suprised to see more than a few boats out.  The lake was as calm as Trump firing Obama.  The salmon were out over deep water with scattered bait up high which suprised me for this time of year.  Lots of bait was deep and I was marking fish down 110 to 250.  The first part of the morning I slowed way down (for me) 1.5 to 1.9. I started out 1 for 6 and couldn't seem to get a fish to stick but the slow speed seemed to be what they wanted.  Rigger parked at 55 and 3 color lead core were the salmon takers.  Got a few new warrior UV extreme flutter spoons and they were hot.  Ran a rigger down 140 to 175 trying to pick a laker or two, their bite was slow but thankfully the big paddle and ironduke uv wild child trolling fly was the ticket for a few lakers.    Picked up a buddy at 10 and we fished south.  Picked up a small bow and a keeper brown.  Overall ended the day with two keeper salmon, two lakers and a brown.  I do love Cayuga.  Can't beat it for a winter break! The launch is super low and going out into the lake stay as far south as possible.  Good luck if ya'll get out!

    Back up lights

    Could you splice into the 12v backup light in the tail light assembly? you would have to run a totally separate wire to the 5K lumen lights though.  Question to this answer is,  is 12v coming off of the brake solenoid wire? if so splice away. May be easier to clamp a light to the boat and turn it on while launching...
