I'm running 36" harnesses off 2 oz bottom bouncers on bottom. I never tried suspending them, not sure if that would work or not. I use the Rap TDD's in the color you told me and when they work they really work just not really often. I run them with 30# braid and a 10' leader of 15# fluoro with 100 - 120' of line out between the 2 rods off the kayak.

Nice job Justin, I was out there Sunday night trolling the East shore but couldn't get anything else but silver bass to bite the harnesses. Did get some nice marks 20-30 down in 40'+ so switched to deep cranks and no luck. I've been struggling on the little "O" this year and may have to try Oneida for the next outing. Keep up the good work, you keep me confident that there are still walleyes in that lake

I believe the one caught last summer out of Oswego by a salmon fisherman was a 50"+ class fish. Obviously was not being targeted but proof that they are out there. I had a good sized one chase my spinnerbait to the canoe years ago in blind sodus bay and also caught a 6" fry on an eggsac one spring steelhead fishing in the SR -
Pike in BRB/Henderson area
greenhornet73 replied to greenboatluke's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
i haven't been there in a few years but used to fish for pike at the start of the season in Sodus Bay launching by the bridge from the bait shop and did really well using topwaters and subsurface lures along the weedlines and am sure you would connect often with deceivers or other pike flies. -
That's a nice one Justin, that fish is hefty! My fattest 'eye out there was 26" 10 lbs over 20 years ago now. Last week's catfish was my biggest catch out there trolling after 2 outings for the year. Might try to get the kayak out this evening if the weather cooperates. Last weekend had a tiger swim a circle around me staring me down, always love to see them do that with their head right out of the water

love it MrClean I hope to make it out soon, life has been too busy since last fall and hasn't let up to fish since last october. I have a reliable source that has been having great luck for the last 2 weeks, just not in the Fair Haven area yet but many have been large. Should be making their way in soon!

We are blessed with plenty of strong walleye fisheries in NY and only one pacific salmon fishery that also holds plenty of trophy class 'eyes. I'd vote not to disrupt the lakes' fishery, if you want to try for walleyes on Lake Ontario most of us know where to look even though you likely wont fill a stringer unless you fish them exclusively

I agree, nice box but the catch is really nice too -
1st I've heard of it as well

Went out casting for a couple hours Tuesday night and had a lot of action, just not walleyes or muskies. 15" crappie, 2 smallmouths and a rock bass and 2 others that spit the trebles. Air temp was 64 and hardly a breeze at 11pm. Water has really dropped since I was there last but that always happens after the State Fair. This weather is nice but water needs to cool down before good shore action starts up
