    Anything that will help myself and future generations being able to get on the water and enjoy these lakes around us I will support. Boating is expensive what's $60 to be able to launch anywhere you want and save this debate. Gas is $4 a gallon if were trying to complain about something let's start their.

    After spending much of my life fishing Seneca Lake (mainly since the 1950's) I have to agree with Joe on this one. Seneca Lake has become a great trout and perch fishery in the past couple decades but back in the 1970's it often took about 4 hrs or more to catch a legal trout (according to the DEC diaries I kept). It is a very big deep lake and for people unfamiliar with it especially it can be very challenging. I think Ray is also correct in that if you fish it frequently and get a feel for the target species habits and live locally so that you are privy to local information from friends and tackle shop folks etc. you have a decided advantage in being successful fishing it. Also back in previous times the "southenders" often stayed pretty much at the south end and the northenders stayed pretty much at the north end and the folks in the Dresden/Sampson/Lodi locales fished mostly in their own part of the lake (within a few miles) so they gained intensive firsthand knowledge of their defined areas. Fishing on Seneca has in some ways come full circle from the early and mid 1900's when my grandfather was out there jerking copper and trolling from a row boat. He used the first Sutton spoons (see pic) way back then as well as Geneva spoons (pic) and a few years ago I caught fish on them for old times sake...and they still work. My point is that all the new fancy equipment doesn't guarantee fish and you can troll for hours out there without a hit if you don't know what you are doing and don't use the right setups for the conditions and seasons. Most of the new equipment and lure types and colors catch even more fishermen than fish...they work but you still need to know how to use them out there. Fishbowl- I sent you a PM yesterday.

    Les you are book of knowledge...

Whole nother story lol it's also difficult setting up rigs for Seneca then the next weekend going to sodus and setting up for big fish. Getting my license in mail so hopefully just stickin to seneca once I get business rollin

    Slow. Lots of bait and lots of fish in the bait just can't seem to pick them up like normal. Tough fishing for me this yr. it's like fishing in July yet some fish are in shallow as well.

    Call me crazy but besides last yrs chop this is one of the weirdest that I can remember.
