Low Baller

I feel your pain. 8 to 10 ft leaders on a 16' boat is a circus act. I use the same rigger rods for finger lakes and Lake O. Slightly heavy for the finger's and slightly under for mature salmon. 6 yrs no issues. Okuma 8' green tips.

Looking to go shorter,  fishing out of a 16 foot fish hawk, almost have to stand on the bow to net at the back end.  LOL. 

I'm off till next Mon. Lol

Nice to see a report. I took the last couple weekends to get caught up on work and yardwork. If the lake is decent I’ll be up this weekend. 

Yep before I started fishing, I went on a charter with a friend out of oz and he recommended putting a small piece of herring on the fly. Doesn’t effect spin and is hidden by the skirt. I’ve never not used meat on my flies

Low baller starting setting lines at 6 -6:15 first laker of rigger at 60 -120fow sutton 44. First and last fish in boat. Lost small laker off dipsey no silver and blue set a 55 over 140 fow. Multiple trips. Slowed speed didn’t help. Most mark right on bottom or just off bottom fished 120 fow to 160 fow off water temp 42 70-110 Didn’t chase after real deep fish. Had 2 and 4 color out off boards dipsey and riggers from 40-110. Still a great morning with my dad and brother. Dad grow up on lake fishing out of row boat with Seth green rig so was a lot fun listening to stories. Called it quits at 10 getting hot

I can’t take it anymore heading up Tuesday and Wednesday to Cayuga with my son and grandson off long point. First time this year. If you see the boat “My Blue Pill” say hello.

Brockport is closest lodging 15 miles south . 
 
No on the water gas  or restaurants , or tackle shops . East fork pro is Marina , no gas  top shelf mechanic .  
 
Hamlin has restaurants and gas . 
 
Everywhere on the south shore has,been tough the last few weeks 
 
 
Never had a problem catching Lakers at the Oak.  

Good report, might jump on that too. Need to expand range for summer instead of waiting till labor day weekend. Is lodging available around there? I know the oak was tough.

Nice fish. When you say weighted ,how many oz. Gets you down to say 25' at say 100+ back? Tried figuring it out for years. Gave up and bought mini dipseys.

Awesome trip. I run to the ADK every summer pike and bass hunting. That's a beauty northern. I'd been tempted to mount her.

After a great overnighter at Cayuga, and a relaxing day home, relized again how important the simple things are. And now the Koi are spawning in the patio pond.
Works for me. Where too next?

Beautiful steelhead. Congrats. Gotta love small craft success. Not easy for sure but very rewarding. Only takes one!

Would like to hit Keuka next run. Haven't been on that lake since the 90's. Used to be a favorite smallmouth area on the point. Any info on trout or bass would be great, otherwise I'll just wing it. Thanks

Made the run Fri night. Launched at long point this morning with my nephew. Didn't have to go far. Stayed out front 90 -200. 6 lakers, one beauty bow, and a 3 lb LL. Could have dragged a soda can and caught fish. Spoons and FF's down 25 to 60. Ran up to the north end for the afternoon. Pretty choppy but managed a pair of 5lb large mouth and a couple pickerel. Just got home. I'm toast. Tony had a ball! All relased, unfortunately I failed as photographer on the bow, big male almost 7lbs.

So cool, I love pike. They're all attitude and teeth. Can't wait to hit the adk this summer.

Need some intel please. Lake O looks iffy for Saturday for me. Was going to try Cayuga. Wondering if you folks had the same storms as we did. How's the lake looking for debris etc. Is it worth the run?
Thanks

With a "declared state of emergency and a curfew announced" it was amazing how this  criminal activity ended. Now the police had the power to stop the thieves.

Now we're thinking.

Not to mention that it will give us time to think about things with a cooler state of mind.

Not discounting anything, but we all could use a hot meal and some shut eye before humping the next hill.

Nasty storms today, downed trees, patio furniture all over. Total chaos. Reminded me of who's in charge. Took advantage of a 5 hr window and ran to Mauch Chunk lake. Only guy here, surface temp dropped 4° since last week. Perfect. Favorite spinner bait and a perch challenger. 3 pickerel and 6 bass. Moral of the story, just when hope is fading it just takes a little peace to fix it. Worked for me.

These guys are great Hondo. A wealth of information if you read between the lines and think about it. Took me 12 yrs, but then small crafters can't touch it. Work, study, listen, repeat. Oh, and luck is always your best bet .
