  1. Lots of details switched to smaller flashers added a gambler rig [emoji79]put flashers on right way... stopped sticking to one general depth extended dipsys to 300-350 started with spoons and flys they hit flys. W preference for chartreuse and white retooled to match when found fish kept pounding area ....

  2. Thought I had this figured out running dipsys last weekend two days of blanks running while others are catching would prove otherwise .... I am looking to hop in with someone for a day or have someone join me.. on my boat pm me if interested I will be at lake all week until Sunday I will cover all gas expenses and pay for whatever needed just want some show me what I'm missing guidance...

  3. Hit water at dawn ran north to a little south of sheldrake trolled north trying to get used to down riggers and only caught one small ll. Figured out was screwing up on releases after wasting half morning struggled with some magnum dipsy issues too... and my copper line kinked all to hell... new strategy for tomorrow... proper set on releases lol no more than 20 ft behind the ball... run one flasher fly and the spoon dodger combo the salmon hot today.. standard dipsys out near bottom with gambler cow bells and redoing copper to a lead core up middle with a 30 foot leader fluorocarbon ....any other advice? Ran straight dipsys last week and the copper and boated 8 lost 6 add down riggers and my effectiveness dropped bad...

  4. I tried two ways with a laker and brown last week

    1. Prep as described above bled on catch immediately iced and kept cold trimmed out.

    Method 1

    Brown sugar, honey, kosher salt and garlic and olive oil whipped to a butter consistency coat and bake at 350 till it caramelizes dons over cook it, done with skin on bottom...

    Second way

    Marinade in butter lemon juice garlic powder Parmesan cheese and Italian spice like perfect pinch bake at 350 or grill

    Most important don't over cook it flaky and moist consistency ...

    Last weekend I posted help on Cayuga there were two primary pieces of advice I could implement one was to use a troll sock to slow down from 3 mph to 2.2-2.5 and add dodgers to my spoons.. also add a fish hawk but that will have to wait... and the results were above

     

    1 nice brown three lakers and released two small lakers and a land locked that was small... only changes were the two above items and fishing a like further north...between power plant and long point...

     

    So thank you advice givers spot on !! Also lost 6 all in three hours...

    Hit Cayuga with John from finger lakes angling zone today working on jigging and expanding my knowledge of the lake... immensely helpful and we boated 18 fish in five hours 16 lakers one land locked and this huge beautiful brown lost another half dozen or more hook ups ... now I can jig and next is dialing in the trolling ... thanks John kids and I had a blast
