  1. Yes they are my son is my mate who is in the green shirt was hollering almost as load as the kid who caught the fish
  2. Had a great Groupe of folks out today and we caught a new boat record for Cayuga Lake. The fish came on a mag dipsy on a 1 setting out 220 ft. The fish tipped the scales at little over 16.5 lbs. And measured a.little over 38 inches. Best of all a 12 year old reeled the fish in. He was in complete amazement when we pulled the fish over the back of the boat then I told him in 30 years of fishing Cayuga lake that was.the biggest Lake Trout I had ever seen the lake give up. That was the Icing on the cake. He literally started screaming. Pretty sure they heard us back in Ithaca.
  3. Fishing was a little slower than it has been. Finding clean water to fish continues to be the biggest challenge because of weeds. Silvers were in the top 40 to 60 and Lakers were from 60 on down. Good luck go get em.
  4. Fleas were terrible again today. I don't know very much about cortland flea ficker line but the blood run stuff didn't and hasn't worked for me. 5 lb mono also has had no effect. The only thing that is working is checking your gear every 15 minutes or so that I have found
  5. Fished today the lakenis definitely clearing up from the green milky mess it was for most of July. Was north of Sheldrake some today and that was where the most weed mat problems were. Fleas on the other hand are a big issue. No 50 lb mono isn't keeping them off no flea flicker line isn't working when they are thick enough to stick to downrigger cable nothing that fits on a reel is going to keep them off. Wire divers are even clogging at the roller tip. Only solution is to clear lines often. Good luck out there be safe tight lines everyone
  6. Very true Les I have never really had much luck with all of the flea lines and heavy diameter line. When the fleas are bad they stick to everything and make a mess of everything. As far as it effecting the fishing I have never recorded any change in fishing that I could say was because of fleas. Fleas are temperature tolerant so I'm not sure how it affects trout and salmon species that don't spend alot of time in 70+ degree water. The effect they have is it makes it tough to keep rigs in the water for long periods of time. If your stuff isn't in the water it's not catching fish.
  7. Just giving everyone a heads up the alge bloom seems to have cleared up. The lake is back to its normal colors and clarity. Weeds are still a nusance but have also cleared up after we have had some hard winds over the last week. We now have replaced those head aches with fleas. Fleas were terrible all weekend. Sticking to everything including downrigger cable's. Heavy mono did nothing over the weekend. Be prepared to check your gear often for a while. Even had fleas gumming up wire divers today. Good luck all fishing remains great tight lines and be safe out there.
  8. The farthest north I have been in a couple of weeks was between Sheldrake and Long Point. More of the same weed mats and weeds its not unmissable but definitely a nuisance.
  9. The lake still is quite turbulent with all of the rain lately. The water clarity to be getting better but the weeds both loose and giant weed mats are never ending. aren't as much as a nuisance as they were a week ago. We had some pretty stiff north west winds on Friday night that really seemed to clear up the lake.
  10. The lake seems to be clearing up the weed mats however are terrible. The lake has been a off green cloudy milky weedy mess since around the 4th of July
  11. Lansing harbor rents house boats, small camps and also has a few transient camper spots. They also have a boat launch and full services. ie bathrooms gas shower house. Might be worth a phone call.
  12. We have been doing well with 5 colors and 100 weighted steal with silvers on planner boards. Still also picking threw lake trout with those rods also. Also.picked up.a really nice rainbow on a 300 copper last weekend. Best to let fish tell you what they're interested in. They can and will be any where right now
  13. Questions concerning true depth fish fish hawk. My trudepth often times doesn't line up with what is displayed on my fish finder by some times feet. For example if I set my downrigger to 40 feet my fish hawk will read 50 ft true depth and my fish finder will read the weight at say 35 ft. My blow back would answer the question for the weight reading 35 feet on the sonar but how is it possible for my true depth on the fish hawk to be further than the amount of cable that I have out. Is there a way to calibrate the fish hawk my riggers are zeroed at the water line. It can be frustrating when wou are fishing out side of the sonar cone to be getting fish hawk readings that physically aren't possible. Anyone else experience this kind of issue. All of the other aspects of the fish hawk work fine as far as speed and temp
  14. If any one stumbles upon a offshore planner board while out on the lake I lost one Sunday May 14th. It has my name and phone number written on it. I would gladly pay the shipping to get it back. Lost it on the north end of the lake near deans cove. With the wind and waves the way they were yesterday it disappeared pretty quick and by the time we got turned around we couldn't find it. I know it's a long shot but would be greatly appreciated
  15. I have trouble with the trot line style releases getting jammed in the cable puly at the end of.the down rigger and either ripping the release off the cable or jamming I. The end of the down rigger so badly it pops the fuse on the downrigger. If I don't catch it on the retrieval and stop the rigger bad things happen. My old cannon mag 10 didn't do it but the mag 10 STX I'm using now give me the problem I think it's because the retrieve so fast. Just not fast enough I want to stand there and wait. Usually trying to reset and reel in the stacker rod when bad things happen.
