cinnamon fish

If you have the serial number, you can look up the manual here and it should say what year it is on the cover of the manual. https://marine.honda.com/support/manuals/models/BF5

Just a heads up, this motor is not a 2020 model. Honda redesigned this motor in late 2016, and this one is the older design.

I'm curious if anyone might have an updated flea report for Canandaigua. I know Les said they were bad back on 9/16 but I'm wondering if the cool weather we've had since then may have eliminated them by now?

Gonna be fun!

Awesome. Did you mean 55-60 feet of water, or 55-60 down? Thanks for the report!

Thank you, I'm trying to find one a bit narrower. Good luck with the sale.

Hi, could you give me the trailer's width between the tire fenders? Thanks in advance.

Wow, awesome! He won't forget that!

Les, I really like the part about the 12 lb test withstanding kings up to 32 lbs. Must've been a 35 pounder that broke me off, lol. I love fishing light line, and in the summer, light leaders in combination with SeaFlee or something similar.

Any season for me in my 18' but only when there's light wind out of the south.

Incredible fish, congrats!!

Anybody have a pic of the results from today?

This one just pays out the top 3 heaviest fish, no categories.

Thank you Bobby, the Margeits and everyone involved who make this tournament the best run tournament on Cayuga Lake each year. All the effort that goes into organizing it so well is hugely appreciated! I was thrilled and surprised I managed a 3rd place finish with a 29 lb box, especially given the weights from previous years. Conditions were tough out there with the weed mats and fleas out of control. Congrats to the winners and big thanks to the sponsors too. Also a great hang with folks at the weigh in.

Agree... except the dead bait is still in the water, rotten and caught in floating weedmats everywhere.

Thanks for the review. I have been using the regular Sunline Supernatural mono line for several years and I love it. It does have less stretch than most mono lines. I'm bummed to hear their new No Flea line wasn't very effective. But also not that surprised I guess because the fleas are so relentless right now. I bought a spool of 30 and 40 and waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I'll probably try the 40 first and see if maybe it's a little better than the 30. But yeah, they both have pretty low diameter for the strength. That's another reason I like their line. I've been using the Blood Run 30lb flea line and it's pretty good but I don't like how slick it is and have had knots pull out a few times. But there aren't many options these days. I'll report back after I try the Sunline 40 lb No Flea.

I'm anxious to hear your review of the Sunline "no flea" line... were you running the 30 or 40 lb? I purchased a spool of each this morning. Fleas are real bad on Ontario right now so that was a hardcore test you put the line through. Appreciate any comments on the line, thanks in advance.

If anyone has Quick-Strike flutter spoons in good condition they might want to sell, I'm looking for more. Thank you

Reel Rage Watermelon spoon caught me a 15+ pound rainbow on Canandaigua... Highly recommend folks buy some!

Impressive! How old would you guys guess the 15.15 rainbow was?

One of the guys in the derby committee told me, not yet official, but approximately 259 entries this year.

Love hearing about these monster/record fish!

The derby has Ric Cleveland/Flint Creek do their mounts.

Yeah, that's truly nuts!

Harvey, the derby committee told me they were planning to contact the DEC about finding the age of the fish via a certain bone in the fish, similar to the rings on a tree. That's what they did 2 years ago when the 29 lb laker was caught. But I guess they have to time it with the taxidermist doing his thing. So, might be awhile.
