cinnamon fish

That would be great.  Should work both ways... weigh in at Myers or Seneca Sportsman Club for both events.  I think it should all probably be discussed with Bear asap to have a good chance of him being into it and making it all workout.  Not sure how he'll feel about it.

Now I'm getting excited for a double derby/tourney.  Same lake, hey why not?

Yeah, B&B spring derby falls on the same weekend as the Keuka tournament and that's tough to avoid since the week before is Mother's Day and week after is the NLTD.  And the fall derby is the same weekend as Owasco, seems like that could maybe be remedied in the future.  Not a big deal I guess.  A year or two ago Bear added a 3rd derby, 1 day, the 2nd Saturday of August.  Maybe you're right though both could potentially run at the same time, especially if they'd consider accepting the same fish entered in each and if the weigh in deadlines were offset it would help too.  What's the format for the Margeit, is that a box event like the flta events?  I think I fished it last year, but I can't remember.

Not to go on and on, but also I feel bad that Bear's derbies have been competing against all the FLTA tournaments, and he has reached out more than once to try to avoid these scheduling conflicts but they keep coming up every year and nobody seems to budge.  He's trying hard to get a good turnout and I know always hopes some of the FLTA guys will want to fish his derbies.  Anyway, I just know it's frustrating for him, and he's been doing these for many years.  Hopefully it can be sorted out for August... I'd love to try to fish both.

Last year, they were a week apart with the Margeit memorial being the 1st Saturday in August and the B&B was the 2nd Saturday.

Sounds great, but I believe that's the same date as another Cayuga Derby out of Bear's in Lansing.  I could be wrong, but I believe that's what Bear said at the spring derby.

Yeah, I'm curious how you did also, Sk8man.  I got out this morning just from 7:15 - 10:15... 3 medium size lakers, a 3lb brown, and a nice 6.5 lb bow.  Good luck kayslay, let us know how you do.

Sk8man is one of the most valuable resources of awesome, clear info on the LOU site.  I've learned so much reading his posts/replies.  Truly appreciated!

Thanks 58Johnson.

I sent the Salvation Army an email about it so hopefully they will change the info on the website.

Great and much appreciated.  I tried emailing a month ago also, but they never changed anything.

Check the classifieds.  Somebody just posted a bunch of trolling flies for sale.

The web address works, but they've had the wrong dates on the website for months, still do. It says July 13 & 14, but I believe you're correct that it's July 14 & 15.  At Bear's spring derby, everybody thought, and it was announced, that it was the weekend before.  They should correct it, communicate with Bear and promote with some clarity if they want any kind of decent turnout.

Yes, I'd like to know if these are vintage or new also... If they aren't vintage, the offers already made in private messages would be too high.

Spoons anywhere from 35 - 65 down all got hit.  They weren't picky today.

Nice fish.  I was out there briefly too, 7am-9:45am... great action, 6 lakers, one at 30" 10 lbs. Fished 65-100 fow mostly.

Man, sounds like one heck of a great run and quite an awesome variety.  Great going and congrats.  I'm taking some friends out on Cayuga tomorrow evening.  Nice to see you found that great action there yesterday.

Sent you a message on the spoons.

Does the 20 spoons for $15 include shipping?  If so, I'll take them.

This morning, I read on the I ❤️ Keuka Lake Facebook page that a place called Jake's has just been rebuilt and has launching available.  I have no idea about prices or any other details.  But they did list the address and phone #... 12792 W Lake Rd
Hammondsport, New York 14840-8534 (607) 868-4876

Congrats.  Great post and great fishing.

I agree.  Saw at least 3x the amount of bait on Seneca this weekend than what I've been seeing on Cayuga.  Tremendous amount of bait, I guess no need bother with our lures.

Congrats, sounds like a beauty.  I'm curious what other good size fish came in.

I snapped this pic when I was down there.  Congrats to the all the winners!
Had a blast, worked hard through the weather just couldn't connect with anything over 6, landed 19 (browns, LL, lakers).

Any update on the board?

What’s the deadline for joining in the fun?
