I took out a friend from work today. Launched at long point and fished in front of Wells up to St. Patrick's cemetery. Ended up with 19 landed. A few drops for the both of us and plenty of misses. Steady action from when we set up 645 to when we were done 1145. A few wild ones but most were stocked. All were healthy no fresh scars, and no attached lampreys! (Yes!!!) we fished 75-95 FOW. It didn't matter where it was awesome. Biggest was around 8lbs 28" and smallest was around 4lbs. No hogs but great morning

I left Long point and headed north around 630am. Set up in 75 FOW and started jigging for lake trout. I landed 4 by 9am. All were stocked and healthy. I ran white jig heads with a grey alewife pattern and white and green zoom fluke. Switched over to trolling untill 1130. Ended up with 4 lakers on the 500' copper rod and 3 comin in off down rigger. Kwikfish on the copper and a NBK Michigan Stinger on rigger. Rigger was 75' down in 85 FOW. 11 total. Biggest was 8 lbs off copper rig. 11 total not bad for a solo day!

Great report! I've been many times jigging and to finally have them flip the "on" switch is both awesome and rewarding. Btw were using rubber bodies or hard freestyle jigs? I use both some days one is better than the other. Tight lines!

Yeah i was just sitting on a life jacket. Kept my head just above the water.

This picture of me is from last summer on cayuga. Took a swim break and tried jigging at the same time. Will be doing plenty moe of this when the water warms up

Yeah I say screw Cuomo. But trying to keep the invasive species down the best we can is good thing IMO. Take the extra time to clean off your boat and help out our ecosystems in the lake at the same time.

Gezr50, just sent u a pm

I'm using the mobile version. Does the full version make a difference?

I see a reply button and the fast reply box down below it. Didn't see a + sign with a circle around it or anywhere it said attach files. Still haven't got it

Hey nice rainbow! I too have trouble uploading pictures. How did you end up being able to upload? Thanks. Also what is this photobucket?

Any cayuga restrictions? Guy at work said he saw on the news there was a no boat ban but can't find anything on it. Anyone else hear this?

Bear's Tackle in Meyers park in Lansing. Just up the lake on the east side from Ithaca. Just an FYI in case you didn't know.

Wanted to run a Seth green rig this year. I have the basic understanding to how it works from a lot of reading I've been doing on it. My question is what size/action rod is most preferred, and what kind of main line is used? Thanks for the help!

Hey nice fish! What was the length? Way to go!

There's nothing that scares me about catching that many stream rainbows. What does scare me is that there is still a 3 day bag limit. I think a slot limit and 1 fish per day is needed. By the way, all the trout I caught have been successfully realeased

Yeah it's not in the lake out of the boat, but I've caught 50 rainbows and 2 browns since 4/1 in one cayuga trib and the majority of the fish have had a lot of lamprey damage. Some with fresh wounds too. Another thing I've noticed is that this years average size of rainbows in this trib is smaller than the 55 I caught last April. Being said I got a few fish and saw others with smaller (6") lampreys attached last year. This year I have seen none. Just throwing out there what the tributary fish are looking light. Tight lines!

I second the okuma convector 55

These are small tribs! Lets not name drop on here. Thanks

Sorry to hear for your loss. I never got to meet Mike Sr, but he did share some great info. Must of been one hell of a guy to reach out to people whom he never met and share this great sport with every one. My deepest sympathies.

Hello, I'm interested in the six rivers float rod. I live near Ithaca could arrange a meet somewhere. 70$ is a fine price. Shoot me a pm- thanks.

Jared

It's made for trolling. Leadcore, copper, wire whatever you want. I was looking to purchase one. Any help would be great. Thanks

Looking for "the educated rod" it's a rod made back in the 40's from Trumansburg NY. It's a small 2 foot setup I have pics but unable to upload. Could send pics over the phone. Shoot me a pm any info would be great! Thank you
