    Deep and shallow. Five, seven, ten color lead core on inline boards small multi colored (gold n orange, purple alpha alewife fav...) spoons. Mag dipsy on wire 300' back with spinny and fly to pick up a few suspended Lakers. Seneca in the south end has been really tough on lots of guys this year, tons of bait, fish seem to be there but don't bite. There are a few favorite spots out deep on Cayuga I have this time of year but usually its just looking for those suspended fish and trying to get something in front of them. Also I noticed they (silvers) liked it a bit slower 2.4 yesterday. Good luck. Ps. Man I cannot believe the Pats, get all the calls and breaks.. cheaters, lol!

    Forgot to mention I saw many different duck species with a very pretty red head drake the highlight. He let me troll right up to him, wish I had a good camera. The evening had them flying everywhere, I'm not a duck hunter but it seems like they were abundant. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Don't know, but there was a thin layer at Taughannock( where the bubbler wasn't) most of that melted today, betcha it could be broken up. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Went out today hit west shoreline above Taughannock. Nice 19" LL in 70 fow to start, tons of small LL. One Brown that measured 14 1/2" lucky fish, he was fat! Found a few, very few suspended Lakers out in 385' got two of them to go, so fish for dinner this weekend, great day to get out. Hot lure was anything you threw at the little guys, switched over to larger spoons and that helped, they were still hitting but not taking hook deep. If I was going again tomorrow I'd head north of the boy scout camp and hit 200-300 fow that's where the bait and fish seemed to be up off bottom. Also lost three really nice fish two of which took serious drag! Dang! :wacko: Plant was down today too. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I ran a five and seven color lead core on an inline and also caught Lakers down 110-130' there were a few spots I like this time of year, if you find bait deep there will be fish there, if some of the bait is up then yahtzee! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Not sure, but I'm thinking a log that was on its way to the bottom. Been trolling for years, I've never had something like that happen. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Well I've been a part of this great site for three and a half years now. I want to say thanks so much for all the great guys n gals that have shared their fishing knowledge. As a kid in the 70's n 80's fishing was to me a huge endeavor that only the "old guys" knew about and for me I was hooked when one of my friends dad took me trolling for the first time. His paper graph was so cool and we caught fish, big fish too. I could have saved years of failure if this site was available back then. My learning was because of luck or failure. I still have lots of things to learn but this site has an amazing brotherhood that I have learned from and am hooked on. Thank you to the originator! Thank you to all the great fishermen that share their posts. Happy New year and catch em up in 2016! John Wild Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    One more time into the breach boys! Launched at Taughannock around 11:00am met a few nice guys that headed south so I went North. First fish was a 22" LL on a five color core with a FLT purple alpha alewife. Stayed deep 200-380 most of the day. Scattered bait in its deep winter pattern down 200-240' lots of small salmon in wolf packs! Had several doubles with the little guys. Finally found a few Lakers above 130' dropped one and landed one on the usual custom paddle and blue uv fly. Ran the rigger down 150-220'. Was out in 365' of water and the rigger took a big shot, I hit something submerged and lost my shark weight, Dam! Water was very low to launch at TG. Stay right going out under bridge. The other guys did well in shallow and caught a big brown that they released, cool.. Until next year fish!.... Two for the table, yum!! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    That's great info guys, I have read that the finger lakes are fed by many underground springs. The water temp of the springs should be 55 degrees, no? Wikipedia says that Seneca has springs feeding it 328,000 gallons per minute and that because of its depth it stays at 39 degrees throughout the year. So my theory that the bait stays down because they are safer in the dark may be off but I'm sticking with it, lol! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks for the insight, bait on the fingers in the winter seem to hang deep. Is it because they are safer down there or water temp? Or both? Itching to get out... Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    That is very cool! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Great report, sounds like they turned on a bit later in the day. That seems to be typical in the winter... Any thoughts on why? Feeding pattern only once a day? Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I believe that it's a dual push for the deer. First during fawning season the safest place is near homes because of the coyotes. Second the hunters decide to start tromping into the woods leaving scent everywhere. The deer not only learn where too survive but the ones that do survive teach their fawns to live near homes where death hasn't occurred. My problem this year was not only leaving my property alone but when I did go into the "kill zone" I find a pile of yotes and few deer. So if there we any trappers out there close to Danby NY and want an extra place to trap send me a PM Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
