cinnamon fish

Sk8man wrote to me privately and I responded and this is most of what the weekend looked like for me... Saturday morning I drove the boat all the way up to the north end and had 2 big fish break off early. Not sure what they were. After that I slowly trolled my way down the lake and caught 11 lakers to 6 pounds, 4 rainbows to 4 pounds and 1 big yellow perch but nothing worth weighing. Sunday morning I decided to stay on the south end for a bit and that rainbow was the first bite I had about 6:30am approximately 1 mile north of the Woodville launch on the west side. 45 feet of water approximately 20 ft. down... on one of my little 3 way swivel rigs. 8 lb mono mainline to a very small 3 way swivel, bottom eye to a 5 ft light line with a 3 oz weight and side eye to a 6 ft 10 lb fluoro leader to a reel rage watermelon spoon. Similar to a Seth Green rig, but only 1 spoon and very small swivels and lighter weight to stay higher in the water column. Hard long run right away, dumped 3/4 of my spinning reel then jumped 4 ft out of water off in the distance. Knew it was big but too far away to tell how big. After that, steady pressure, a few shorter runs and inched him closer over about 15 min while he stayed near the surface. He went deeper near the boat but thank god he was tired by then and I got him up and netted him. Barely fit in my net, 36.75 inches. Also, lucky it was early morning before the wind picked up. What a thrill! I have to thank guys like Les and others on here who have shared so much valuable information that I've absorbed. I've been fishing my whole life but grew up mostly fishing saltwater with my father and I only became addicted to fishing the finger lakes in the past 8 years or so. I feel so overwhelmed and thankful that I found this fish of a lifetime. I just love the mysteries of what lurks in these amazing waters!

Well said guys! I love the event and challenge. Even a modest Rainbow brought me $1500 one year and I think it's up to $2k now. Love to find one of those big landlocks. Good luck to all fishing!

Bear said he only had one small salmon come into the weigh in. Lots of rainbows and some browns.

So great!

Planning on it, always a great time!

I'll take Lot A

Thanks Harvey. I'll probably bring it, appreciate it.

I had a guy speed troll right behind me while I was at 2 mph, and I mean exactly behind me, not off even a tiny bit to either side of me, closer and closer to the point that he was literally 20 ft behind my boat and then of course he snagged most of my lines and I lost my rigs. Couldn't believe another troller would do that. Entire lake, and he's up inside my ass. I pulled up to him after he finally passed me after he cut all my lines off, and tried to ask him what he was doing and let him know what he just did, and he just grumbled and went on his way.

Nice job!!

Greenhornet73, I can do $73 via PayPal friends, shipped to Syracuse if you're still interested.

Thanks for the interest greenhornet73. I have an older 6000 also that I recently started using again. Working great. The Pursuits are a great bang for the buck reel. Unfortunately I don't have any plans to head closer to Syracuse at this time, but let me know if you are coming toward Ithaca anytime. I'd ship it to you but gotta get a little extra $ to cover it.
