IMO , this just sets a bad example . I was under the assumption that the law states you must unhook an out of season fish and immediately release it. No pic , no weigh . And I know there are guys who fish the beds . And other than the St Lawrence ( I think) you can C& R Bass out of season . I catch a lot of out of season Bass . But to have what amounts to a swarm of locusts converge on a lake for a week during closed/ spawning season is just wrong .Sets a bad example . They couldn't wait a few weeks till the season is open .The DEC and Finger lakes think this is a good idea ? There are some southern lakes that have multiple tournaments every week on them and the Bass fishing has gone from great to terrible on them because of it . A lot of fish die from the stress. So they ruin the lakes down there and they want to do it up here ? These are not stocked fish , it takes what , 6 years to grow a keeper size Bass .

Let me preface this by saying I catch and release a lot of Bass this time of year . How is it that there is a Bass tournament on Cayuga lake when Bass season is closed and it's spawning season ? How does the DEC allow this ? And how do tournament organizers with good conscience think this is a good idea ?

Nice of them to take care of business. But sounds to me they are selling a defective product .

More days than I like to admit that I never had a hit and all I came back to port with was my dick in my hand. So sounds to me like you had a pretty good morning 🌞 -

What I am looking for is down speed and temp . I don't care how I get it . I had an X4 and liked it , I have a Cannon Speed and Temp and when it worked I liked it . I have read on here problems with Fish Hawk probes . 400$ + replacement . 11Oo for new unit . Depth Raider is 600 , replacement probe 275 . I have heard of no problems with their probes . So from a value perspective , the depth raider sounds like the best bang for my fishing buck . I have talked to people who have owned both and good things .

Weather / wind was good for the most part , a lot of fishable days . Nice green water where I was Marked lots of fish and bait . Never took a hit above 50 ft and I think we had around 50 hits . Although I set lines there and moved them deeper . All fish came 50 to 100 ft down .

So my new to me boat came with a Cannon Speed and Temp . Worked great and now it doesn't . I played with it a while and I'm done with it . I had an X4 on my old boat and liked it , $ 1100 new . My Cannon Speed and Temp has depth raider technology . It worked , I was happy with it . 550$ new . Half the price . I'm torn , any thoughts , and where can I get one ?

I heard Sharon fell and was or still is in the hospital . And that she decided to sell and there will be an auction sometime . Disclaimer, I'm not sure how truthfully any of this is . It's very sad . I have been going there since the begining of time . I remember Mr Narburg and that nice old dog . I had many great discussions about things with Sharon. I wish her the very best and thank her for serving the fishing community . Hopefully the tradition lives on .

Rigger Release Tension

With my trailerable boat my son and I got in and went to Wilson , like, seemingly ,everyone else . Opening day we got out early to see an Armada . We started in 60 ft. Nets were flying everywhere . Ours started to also . We wound up that day with 11 salmon , for about 16 hits . Biggest was maybe 16# no skippers Best was a Stinger Stingray NBK parked at 52 ft . 11 o'clock it shut down . Went back Sun and did 4 salmon for about 6 hits . It was a tough bite . Never saw a net fly in another boat . East wind /rain finally drove us in . No one spoon did it . Following Fri went back .Did 12 salmon I think for about 15 hits . Stingray glo green alwive off rigger was hot till a nice king wrapped the line around the hook and broke off , glo frog mag and 28 were best . Slide divers were the man after Sun came up . Sat we decided to try our old stomping grounds in front of Johnsons Creek from the Oak .We drove right up there to see one other boat . Then I thought I was back at Wilson with the traffic . We did 15 I think for about 18 hits , Salmon and some hog Lakers . That green alwive I replaced at rt 18 tackle and black Lazer glo were best . Around 1130 they turned on and the slide divers took most of the hits . In 4 days fishing we did about 4O fish which I am satisfied with . If you are hitting your target species , it's just a matter of getting a big one . My down speed crapped the bed the first day so I only had surface speed the entire derby . I made it work . Love my slide divers . Congratulations to the winners . Here are the spoons that did it .
