Cayuga 7/27

launched at long point yesterday for my first fingerlakes trip with my new boat. ran about a mile south and set up in the middle on a south troll. our goal was to hook a nice rainbow so we had all spoons set up on light leader. parked the riggers at 58 and 68 along with one dipsie at 175 and a 10 color leadcore on a board. hooked a few small salmon on the riggers and also hooked a large laker on a slider all in the first hour. also landed a 6" rainbow! decided to make the run down to t-falls and set up just north of the point. hooked several lakers and several salmon in front of the point out deep. one laker was on a dipsy with a rapala flat rap that almost took the rod out of the holder. i grabbed the rod as it slipped out! our biggest salmon was around 3lbs and most of them were on the deep riggers. sliders were pretty quiet. flea were a non issue and the weeds were not too bad. ran into some south of sheldrake. lots of bait out front of t-falls. nice day on the water. best, mark

Now I know why I was droppin' them...their lips were sore. That's same area I fished in the evening. And I was blamin' it on the snubbers! WTG Mark!

Thanks for the report. Nice fish!!!!! I noticed in the background your running planers. Are you running your lead off them and if so what are you using for a release??

[chowder]

Mark, good to see the new rig is at home in the Fingers

HM we use the Scotty Power grips for copper & core out on the boards (remember; only clip to the power pro- never the lead or the copper)

[Hannah Marie]

Thanks Chowder....just remembered I have two extra penn/ugly stick set ups that I rarely use and have to figure out if the reels I have are big enough for the lead core.

[MarkNY]

thanks guys. plenty of good fishing to be had out there! hannah, i was running leadcore off the boards, gets it out of the way. of course i didnt catch a thing on it! i use the large scotty releases. there cheap and work good. best, mark
