Oh yeah.. sorry. water had a good stain and no mudline surprisingly after the waves on Friday! Water 10ft down was 39.1 to .9 depending on the location.

A pretty successful shakedown trip! Had some electronics issues with the fish hawk and fish finder overlapping! Had to switch some frequencies and everything worked perfectly! picked up these 2 browns as part of a double header. One on a rigger 10 feet down 50 back in 20 fow on a greasy chicken wing stinger and the other hit on the planer right after on a small black and white rapela. We were right in front of ship builders creek when they hit.

I run a clear and a black slide diver and use the ultimate accessory kit come summer to get deep when necessary.

I will take lot 1

I really got bit by the flasher spin-n-glo setup this spring to the point I started making my own skirts. I find they really extend the morning bite once the fish aren’t as active. I see on eBay some folks sell them without a skirt all rigged up with beads. Do folks use them without skirts on the FLX?

Ebay All day. Soak them in windex for a few days and they clean up nice

Fished Sunday on the south end and just trolled north with a pretty strong wind at our backs! We only got 1 on the boat but had 7 releases in 3 hours. I modified a couple DW silver mags with brushed aluminum look paired with glow spindoctors that get lots of hits but I feel they are too big causing a lot of misses. Next year I am going to pick up a couple silver DW’s non mags and modify them. Tomorrow we are determined to try out rain program on south end of keuka lake and then we put the boat away until next year. thanks for all the post’s on this thread it’s been great!

Who ever buys these I will pay $20 for the candy corn DW

Good to meet up Dan! It was a slow day but the wind was light and variable and the scenery was spectacular!

Great Job! We will be out tomorrow trying out our 6 pole spread with my new slide divers. Thanks for the intel

This is my first fall fishing the finger lakes and today was my first trip at the northend because I wanted to avoid the FLTA tournament in woodville! We found water temps in the 40s about 90 feet down and started our laker program with cheaters on the upper lines for about an hour with no luck. We switched up things a bit and put on my glow green spindoctor with a silver mag and immediately we got a release and then another with 2 lakers. about 930 we swapped out to the flasher fly program at the same depths and we pulled up 2 nice rainbows. Maybe the temps changed but what were those bows doing down so deep? strange.

Interested if you would entertain shipping them to rochester

You can almost see my house! It’s a hidden gem the farther up you go.

It was a pretty morning!

I have been trying to put together a spin n glo program after the morning bite for a few weeks and have absolutely no luck! Today out in front of taughannock falls my oldest and I decided to stay out until 11:30 working on said program and boy did it pay off! trolling slow around 1.8 really was the sweet spot and today the wonderbread flasher with a gambler chartreuse spin and glo picked up 2 laker right off the bat including this big boy!

Almost 5lbs and 27 inches. It surprisingly had nothing in its belly.

Payment sent

We launched at 6:15am and went north on the west side with the wind until about 8:30 and the the lake Lake down until about 10:45 and things got nautical quick! We had our best luck in 170 fow and rods stacked at 110 and 95 with a cheater probably around 45. i will be sure to say hello next time I see you out.

A cheater is an extra line attached to your Main line that slides down to the arch of the bow attached to your downriver release. My leader is about 6feet. I have been trying for most of the season to find a setup that doesn’t get tangled and have finally had some luck today.

We were originally going to fish bears tournament on Cayuga but logistically couldn’t make it work so we decided to hit Canandaigua and ran into another trout tournament at the launch. we ended up getting 3 in the boat with a bunch of misses. I need to pick up some new treble hooks. Silver was the color today! I got this pretty bow on a cheater probably about 45 down going south on the west side Around 10am. We ended up keeping it and throwing it in the smoker for dinner.

Thanks I have never fished a tournament before so having separate divisions means what exactly? It’s a limit tournament for each species per day?
