On tigers it's 1 fish per lure with them or maybe two walleyes! Have had silver streak paint chip yet and the hooks don't break.

Nice work! I'm seeing similar results having to work to get anything going. I'll bet we see an increase in activity the next few days

I don't pretend to understand it fully, but for me, the small spoons are the play for numbers. I have 1 large spoon I run if the bite is good that seldom catches a fish under 9 lbs. I have my favorite colors in all the sizes, but the bigger ones seldom see water anymore. I do well on the tigers with Jrs as well! As far as leads go I've done well at 15 feet behind the ball and Ive done well at 100 feet back. Depends on lake conditions and your preference. Takes a full spread covering all your bases and several depths to figure it out each day. I run 9 rods most of the time. Stingers work nearly as well but they are junk and don't hold up like silver streaks.

Offshore trolling has set up. I'm doing well on jr silver streaks off the riggers and boards. Not much on plugs yet. 20-30 down fish your graph. Gotta find schools of bait with walleyes on em. Browns have turned on out there as well. Perch or alewife patterns are the play. Best fish yesterday was over 8lbs and 25 inches.

Unattended lines bait fishing with big baits. I found a giant fish trap full of gamefish including a 9lb walleye. Castnetting for bait and keeping eyes and tigers as well. I see tons of short tigers get hauled in...try to educate some if they will listen and I turn in the rest. I can think of a few I won't mention as someone will get a bad idea and have to try it themselves.

Only banner I fly is our flag! Just be thankful we can fly whatever we want!

I have the same night conditions...only way is to anchor up in a prime spot and fish and hope they come to you...can't hunt em or cover water. Don't get too many but it's true top water walleye explosions!

Nice work bud! You get any night action? We still have some top water action, but it's waning and the troll is just setting up.

Nice report! The finger lakes are definitely special...and very family friendly. Water temp broke 80 degrees here today.

My son got into some nice fish out of Henderson Sunday. 10-15 fow using Ned rigs and keitech swim jigs.

Don't need nets and surveys... Just a simple flashlight and some ambition.

Go out with a light...last time I went on Owasco all I caught and saw was 3-4 pounders. As for the DEC and their surveys go they went on record numerous times stating there was NO reproduction here and the first season of no stocking I had no trouble finding yoy walleye. They now agree with me after I proved them wrong....check the latest diary summary. The DEC are not walleye die hards that stay up all night and chase walleye as a passion or a living. Otisco is far smaller and several surveys have shown no evidence of ANY reproduction. Either way I have catch data on my side the DEC and finger lakes institute have only ZEROS which don't prove a thing. I'm not saying the walleye are thriving but as soon as the stocking stopped within 2 years miraculously everything is fixed....I don't believe it because the fish that would have been stocked wouldn't even have been 12" long yet and it was a victory?

What's wrong with owasco it's fishing well and the walleye are reproducing and catchable still over a decade with no stocking. Everyone proclaimed victory just 2 years after the walleye stocking was ended...the walleye were still there. The walleyes belong here more than trout!

The heavy rain here has the lake over the docks and lots of debris. In addition to that heavy weedcutting efforts this week have massive weed mats floating in many areas. To top it off bait action and subsequent predatory action was shut down last night from what I saw. Tiger fishing is still good though. If you are looking for walleye I'd wait a few days.

Definitely stick with salmon...and I'd start by working on my people skills if you intend on needing a network of captains to help you catch...though at this point with all the bridges burning it would be easier to learn to catch your own fish!
