Calm foggy morning out of the oak! Went 12-12 on browns with 2 10+ pounders. All west between the mouth and lakeside state park. Water is 45° and we fished 8-13 fow. Best lite today was blue/silver 4” rapala. Also stinger scorpion spoons killed again! (One of the Big boys was on one.
Question 1. I only had red hooks to replace the bent and broken ones. Is there a pro or con to them? Hasn’t seemed to effect the bite.
Question 2. I have almost a 1mph speed difference between my fish hawk and my gps speed. Is this common

Why not fish everyday? Hahaha we had a choppy lake with winds out of the north. But the bite was on! It was just me and my son so Landing fish and keeping the boat straight was a challenge! But we went 7-8 with a 15+lb king! (Scale bottomed out so we ordered a new digital one on amazon) caught the king in 11 fow on a blk and silver scorpion spoon. And a couple big brown on a bright spoon on a small diver behind the boat.

Another awesome morning! Great to get my son out!! (Thank you corona) we went 14-15 all browns. Couple were around the 8-9 lb mark but most were cookie cutter. We caught almost all of them on blk and silver 4” or 5” stick rapala. We also caught a few on 2 colors of lead core and a blk and silver Michigan stinger scorpion spoon.
Only other lure that took fish was 4” blue and silver rapala. We caught all west of the river. 10-13 fow.

Took my dad out for a couple hours this morning at Sandy, first time out this year! No docks yet which made launching "fun"
The water was warm! 48-49 degrees on the surface (maybe from south wind?) we only managed one football brown... got it on a 4" chartreuse bay rat. 10' fow west of the mouth. Anybody else fishing at Sandy? Any success?

Took the kids for our first ever trip to honeoye lake. What a beautiful place! We caught 3 large mouth early and then tried to find some "huge bluegills" we had a hard time finding big ones but caught caught a few keepers and by 9:00 we were swimming we will definitely be back!
Thanks to the people at the dock, and on LOU, that pointed us in the right direction.

Wow! This is great info! Thanks a lot for the help! We have a great starting point now. I will post tomorrow with a report.

Hi! I have never fished the finger lakes... (Just got a small boat last year) and I spend most of my time in Lake Ontario chasing chrome. My kids 10, 8, 6, get board with it. So we have been trying fish for bass and pan fish. We went up to the islands last week and did really well and they LOVED IT! I saw this post, and was thinking of trying to head down to honeoye tomorrow morning for a few hours . Any pointers you'd be willing to share would be greatly appreciated! We are planning on launching at the state launch. And that's about it. Lol.
Thanks for any advise!

Went out this morning, tons of boats. All spread out! Marked tons of bait. 60'-100' Had 1 screamer on a dipsy out 150, in 90' but he got off. Only other fish was a skippy around 9am on a rigger down 60 over 160. Anybody else do anything? I don't have much in the way of flashers and flies, or spin doctors. (I have one of each) I was going to get more is there a color I should start with? If I run them off dipsys how far back should they be?
What a great morning in Lake Ontario even if we didn't catch many fish!

So I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not really familiar either the geographical references you guys use lol. The three I got were between 200-230'
-
I hate being "that guy" asking the dude at the dock to reveal his strategy... Lol my dad is shameless and normally does that for me:) but he was busy riding his motorcycle (he's got his priorities screwed up). So it was a solo trip. Next time I'll ask!
Thanks

Thanks for the replies! I have never been to Johnsons creek. I will try next time I'm out. Do I just motor over there from oak orchard? I need to go after the lakers when it's slow. I've never used the cow bells. I'm pretty new to fishing in more then 10' of water. (Second year with a boat)

I bought a used boat (polar kraft outlander 186) and have been loving it! However it came with a kinda older humminbird 688 and it doesn’t have maps in it. So I looked into getting a card for it but it’s 150$! So for a little More I can get a new one! But there are so many options it’s overwhelming. My old boat had a lowrance 4dx on it and I liked it. So I am thinking of staying with lowrance but am open to suggestions or other peoples experiences and wisdom. Thanks for any help!
