Count Johnny Wild in...

Launched at 3pm lake was loaded with boats... went west side by american flag and marked lots of bait and fish in 50-75 fow picked up a decent salmon on a black and purple custom spoon (small) lost him at boat Trolled back through area and caught a sub 7" salmon really?Plus another dink salmon. Both on green flat fish. Then we crossed lake and trolled toward the south ended up picking up a nice brown 20" on a blue stinger 50' down in 80 fow. This lake is tough marked so many nice fish they looked active on bait if we were in Cayuga we surely would have limited. Can someone enlighten me on what the difference is??? Boat traffic was terrible and the weeds were even worse. Glad I am not trying to guide out there....

Going out this afternoon. Boy sounds like we should go to Cayuga! I will let ya know how we do...

Size F-7 small with one treble. Although the salmon came on the next size up 5 (two trebles). Check your speed with these gotta go slow and run the ball right on bottom. Oh and 20-30' behind ball. Not my credit got the info from old posts....

some fleas not terrible seemed to not soak the lines too long plus running only 20' behind ball and the dipsys were fine. watch out for the weeds though when ya hit em they are bad...

Launched at Taughannock and went to East shore to 50 fow, Started fishing at 6pm. Trolled north (until we hit weeds then turned back south)w/flatfish on down riggers (bottom) and dipsys 200 ft back with small spoons. Troll speed 2.0-2.2 Boated 8 lakers mostly 15-20" three small salmon also. Had a 40' jet diver with a silver and green flat fish back 180' go screaming. Nice 7lb LL. Ended up keeping a couple lakers and the salmon. Thanks for all the advise I have been reading. I am new to this forum you guys really know your stuff. Overall 14 for 17 and my best evening of fishing trolling. Thanks again for all the reads. JW
