If the deal hasn't been closed, I'll take them.

You could also try hooking behind the dorsal. And by all means make sure you pick him up when done………… Ive seen guys try to leave them out for the next day as a bouy marker. Bad mojo. 

 

It's 2024 - aren't you using implantable GPS chips?

Run a Lund 1650 Rebel, it's got a Merc 4 HP kicker that I use for trolling.

 

Have a 24V Terrova with a minnow fin rudder.  Run it on auto pilot all day, and the rudder keeps it on course, hardly ever have to spin the propeller.

The zen of kayaking - When you're alone on a lake and your kayak and fishing lines make the only wake on the lake...

 

 

Rumor has it that salted sawbellies on a Hemlock spinner are deadly when pulled behind a kayak

West side - Frontenac point (Just north of Tunkhannock) and just to the north. Along that shoreline - traditional has held summer browns - early am is best. You'll probably tie into the Atlantic's there too. Haven't been there in years, but I browns are what you're after - that's we're I'd be starting.

Second that.  That area has been very good for me from the kayak.

 

If launching from Taughannock Falls State Park be aware that there's a foot bridge over the channel, so if you have to watch your height.   17' Lund I have to drop the Bimini top going under it. 

Lots of red flags regarding the company that's running this. They fired a guy who brought up safety concerns.   Sub is operated by a game controller, didn’t want to hire experienced 50 y/o white guys, a carbon fiber hull that can’t withstand the pressures that deep. No certification or regulatory approval.

Is this the first year in a long time they are stocking Hemlock with rainbows? I thought it had been all natural reproduction for many years....

 

The stocking of rainbows in Springwater creek started in 2021.   4000 each spring.  

Possibly it was the"LOU" page on Facebook that he saw.  Look like it's taking posts from here a posting a short preview with a link back to post on this site.

 

Found these going through my grandfather's collection of stuff.

 

Do you split them at the spring joint then thread a minnow on them like a Hemlock Spinner?

 

 

 

 

You need to set the filter to "content I have not "  then save as your default stream

Like I said, I don’t really like the app. The nice thing about Tapatalk is it always takes you to the last message you read in a thread. So if it’s a longer one you don’t have to scroll through the whole thing to get to the new stuff every time.

The LOU app does the same thing.  Tap on the solid circle next to each topic title.

DEC Announces Rainbow Trout Sampling Date for Naples Creek

Public is Invited to March 23 Fishery Sampling

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced it will be sampling the rainbow trout run at Naples Creek, Ontario County, on March 23, beginning at 9 a.m.

For your reading pleasure.

 

If you fish these lakes, consider being part of the program - looks like the # of reporting anglers is declining every year.

 

I didn't send much time in the kayak last year, so my reporting #'s were down, hope to fix that this year....

I think it's oversized - Shouldn't they be 4 inches or less upon release back into the lake?  

COUNTIES WON BY ZELDIN = 49
COUNTIES WON BY HOCHUL = 13

our system is broken 

Maybe a weighted vote by county system, similar to Presidential Electoral College ?

Try getting the state legislation to approve something like that; they know how it would shift the outcome of the Governors race.

Found this while going through some of late grandfather's fishing supplies.

 

Appears on google maps to be a vacant lot. 

 

Anyone ever heard of it, or have any good stories about place?

  I am not sure why the rules changed,

 

I registered several homemade trailers 10-15 years ago.   Now the state is all about the sale tax money... they want lots of receipts to make sure you paid sales tax when purchasing parts, and then pay it again when you first register....

Nice!  I thought you had gone exclusively kayak.  Gave your legs a break from pedaling today.  Thanks for reporting!

Got a used Lund Rebel 1650 this spring and been using that.   With gas prices, I maybe going back to the kayak 

Hit the water this am with the boat - done a bunch of shake-down trips and finally got things dialed in and working... Definitely covered alot more water then I do with the kayak, but do miss the yaking experience.

 

Went just south of the point, then set-up running stick baits and spoons on a 4 and 5 color spread on in-line planers and came back north, weaving from 60 - 120 FOW

 

1st hit came of the 5 color with a silver sutton west river spoon - 21" salmon took the spoon deep, so it went into the cooler. After that, switched stickbaits to suttons. 3 more salmon landed and released, 1 lost about 50 ft from the boat. Also landed and released a small mouth bass. All salmon were in the area of boy scout camp.

 

Took a break from trolling and jigged lakers for awhile. 1st drop was followed and grabbed as soon as I pulled it off bottom - landed and released 5 lakers, watched lots of chasers.

 

Off the water by 11:30, sun was getting brutal as the wind died down.

 

Was worried about fleas based on other posts, but the lead core did a job repelling them - just a small wad on the topshot / leader.

 

Saw lots of folks drifting what I assume were sawbellies. What's the closest baitshop on the west side that has them ?

Is it just the camera angle or is the salmon long and skinny ?
