8lb & 10lb fluro for me... I went higher for a bit and caught fewer fish. Went down to 6lb for a bit too but lost too many good fish. I couldn't agree more, learning to play the fish, staying sensitive to it's moves using a very good drag system is the key.
It makes sense it would be much better a week later... Seneca is further behind Cayuga with water temps than I realized. I knew it took longer to warm up, but didn't realize how wide the difference in temps between the two lakes was at this stage.
The LL that was first marked as a brown was weighed at Geneva.
The one thing I don't understand is the Sampson weigh in scenario... if there aren't enough volunteers, they should at the very least come to that conclusion several days before the derby starts and make the announcement to all who have entered the derby. Not the day of, that's not right. I will say that I am thankful the derby is still happening and thank those who have worked hard to make it happen.
Congrats John!
Rainy day fishing, drying out now turning the heat up. Found 3 rainbows, 1 LL, and 1 laker on the mighty Seneca today, just nothing over a few pounds. Big ones coming out this weekend!
Live well donuts, wow. I'm glad you mentioned coffee, gotta bring alot of that! I'll be out there both weekends, just me and my golden retriever, Finn. Good luck to all.
Thank you for the measurements. I'm looking for a narrower one. I actually bought one last week that I'm now working on getting setup. I'll definetly let other guys I run into who might be looking for one know about this one. Good luck with the sale.
