    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... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I did my butter lemon Parmesan bake last night and it rocked on sundays catch... we cooked a Lake Ontario laker after freezing couple years ago and it sucked but we've downed several this week fresh ... there was no clear winner on my two preps ... need to try smoking it next Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    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... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    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 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    On Cayuga pulling boat to inspect something on outdrive this weekend at treeman finished and went to back boat back down and someone had taken up residence behind us explained we were re launching offered to help them move to other side of pier was plenty of open slots ... they move and once the trailer is in watch the guy try driving boat on trailer misses completely throws in reverse try's again. Misses again almost runs aground on ramp parallel to trailer then guns it in reverse almost hits dock on otherside slams it in forward and smashes into another boat that had just launched and was waiting for dad to return after parking anyone that has launched or recovered at treeman knows you can load your boat and unload it by walking it on w lines from these awesome piers... I couldn't take it anymore I yelled at him to shut off his engine had the owner reback in where I was holding the boat and I walked it on to the trailer from the dock... no permanent damage but come on plug in the brain here ....

    I so far like this one unfortunately it was left open and decomposing for 10 years... it has been a long haul back ... but she is an 8000 pound boat and I have her topping at 35 mph now and can handle anything Lake can dish out... planning to canal it to Ontario in late August for kings anyone know how long a process that is from Cayuga ?
