    Interesting information from Captain Vince. I fish in the Sodus Point area, mostly July/August, targeting Kings. I have tracked my catch rates etc closely since 2015. This past season my catch rate per hour was very normal, the only thing that was noticeably different was the number of small fish, under 20”. I had my best year ever for big fish, but over half my fish were little ones. I did not catch anywhere near the normal number of 12 to 18 pounders.

    You may want to check with a dealer or two that specializes in “repowers” i had a good running 2 stroke a few years ago, Evinrude, stopped at a Honda dealer who advertised repowers. I was very surprised at the discount he gave me on a new Honda and the trade value on the 2 stroke. Pretty simple really, and it was way less $ than I expected! I know the Honda is awesome, it’s has the one touch option on the dash to change your trolling speed by .1 MPH, it is very handy deal

    I thought Frogger’s info was very interesting. Under normal lake level s it’s about 12’ off the end of my dock. For years we cut seaweed even in that deep water for swimming and boating. About 2 or 3 years ago the seaweed just disappeared completely and in our area it’s even gone from the shallow water. I saw nothing about any treatments or anything like that, just disappeared. Now for the last two years we get this nasty green slimey moss. Something changed for sure. it would be nice to know what is being done!

    I spend 4 months a year on Seneca. There are some fish this year and the lake is improving, it showed improvement last year too. I’m not fishing the lake at all simply to leave the fish alone and I think lots of the other guys around there are doing the same thing. I do boat ride around, tons of bait and a few fish, it’s improving. Maybe in a year or two it will be even better! I think the guys on here that read the negative stuff on here understand it was wrong and way off base. Go Seneca! ”Make Seneca Great Again”

    If anybody keeps track of there catch rate, fish size stuff i would enjoy hearing what other center of the lake port guys found this summer. The good weather days didn’t really line up good for me this year so my total hours fished was down significantly. from the 3rd week of June until last Thursday my catch rate was just over 1 fish per hour fished. That is about average for me over the last 10 years or so. This year I hooked significantly more small fish, 20” or less, Than I have ever caught before. Easily over half the fish count total. Was able to catch 5 big fish, which is also more than usual. Did not catch the normal number of medium fish, 12-15 pounders. I target Kings so it was normal that I only got one brown, no steelhead and no lake trout. just wondered if anyone else was interested in or had similar size patterns

    No Kings in Seneca! But it sure would be cool if they put some in! There is an abundance of bait in Seneca right now!

    Headed at to 120 just checking so to speak, good screens for fish, no bait. Several boats working that depth. Out to 160 and set up, not as many fish but some small bait pods. Not a perfect setup with the north wind but headed north into it. 200 feet had more fish, same type of bait pods. So I few north to south trolls 225 to 190 produced three kings, one nice one, one small and one medium. Fish seemed to be down 85 to 95 in low to mid 50 degree water, no bites when I dropped stuff down in the mid forty water which was 110ish. No shortage of bait or fish and I think if it was a bit less choppy , i was solo, I could have got a few more. Best of luck, on to bow hunting prep! 24.2 male, two ugly eel scares
