cinnamon fish

I'd be in.  Myers is great for me, but I'm willing to head up to the Sportsmen's Club too.   Love the idea of elongating derby season.  Would be nice to do top 3 or 4 (depending how many enter) instead of winner take all.

October 15 th or the 22nd ??? The only problem I see is some may not want to due to bow season but I would be defiantly down for one of those weekends and give up a day of bow season for that.. Maybe we should start a new thread and see how much interest we have, we will call it the October Lou All

Either date works great on my end.  

I'd love to see a mid-late fall derby on Cayuga.  The B&B was great fun last weekend, but it'd be great to see another one happen in October or early November, while the weather is still great. 

Minn Kota 55 lb thrust with 3x steering and long 42" shaft!

Here's a photo of the board as of 4pm Saturday. I had pretty good action, landed 15 lakers, 4 LL, lost a few really good fish, my best today 10 pound 7 oz laker. Good luck to everybody tomorrow, should be a little calmer.

Too bad the flta tourney is the same weekend as the B & B.  Good luck to everybody.

Really incredible fish.  Congrats!

I'm in.  Looking fwd to it!

Still for sale!

Congrats!  Beautiful awesome rainbow and browns too.  Amazing, it was on this exact date last year that I caught my personal best rainbow too, 29.5" 9lb 8oz.  They must always be hungry the last few days of August!

I have this one for sale... Minn Kota Vector 3x 55 lb Thrust 42" Electric Motor

Holy Moly!!!  That's a brute LL!  Congratulations.

Very tempting!  I don't have a lot of experience on Keuka yet.  I've only fished for bass there awhile back, but feel ready to try for trout now.  Just not sure I can put a whole weekend in out there.  Looks like a fun derby!

Thanks guys!

New pics above!

Congrats. Really nice LL! Any idea what the length was?

Got out 8:45am - 2:45pm, trolled north from T-Falls up the west side almost to Sheldrake, and back south again on the west side.  Started with a nice 21" LL, then a bunch of 2 - 6 pound lakers, couple of tiny rainbow, another LL 19", it slowed down late morning and then I got a beauty laker this afternoon, 33 inch 12 pound 12 oz... hit a purple/black/pink honeybee spoon 60 feet down in 240 fow.  It had one red eye, likely from being caught in the past.  My 2nd biggest laker ever, gave a great fight, and it was a beautiful day out there.

It was purchased new in 2005, and only used about 10 times from 2005-2009, then stored away in a garage until this summer.  Works perfectly, with very low hours.

Here's the original Minn Kota advertisement video for it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nocCxWJTwk
And there's a good amount of info about it here, however mine has the longer, 42" shaft... http://www.turtlemarine.com/minnkotavector55.html

Anybody interested in this Vector with 3x steering motor?  Supposedly a pretty sought after model Minn Kota.

I didn't, but the laker I got wasn't a super long one, it was an unusually fat one.  I'm guessing around 30".  Hard to say.  I find the weights vary a lot within the same length.  Really need the girth measurement too to estimate.

Very nice laker!  It's likely me (3rd place) you would have knocked off the board, had you entered the derby... assuming that laker is over 9 lb 9 oz which it looks like it probably is.  I think Bear will run that derby again next year, likely with a bigger turnout.  Was a fun one.

I know most guys like to fish up north, but for me I love the myers location weigh in, easy access from T-Falls, and I've had a lot of solid fishing in the area and just north of there, mostly on the west side, between T-Falls and Sheldrake.  I don't feel the need to go further north for the most part, except for just general curiosity and expanding here and there, or for another derby that's up there.  Landed 13 fish during this derby, all lakers and LL.  Biggest were an 8 lb 2 oz laker in the morning, and a 9 lb 9 oz laker in the afternoon, ended up with 3rd place (first time I've placed in any derby and I know weights were fairly low, was thankful and had a lot of fun).  I saw some beautiful big salmon (one just over 9 lbs) and beautiful browns weighed in too.  Congrats to Tom and Mike.  Looking fwd to the fall derby!
