Well a lot has been said here on more than just than just the “Juvenile Landlocks†so I’ll start with just that. I run into them stacked up just after they are stocked in the fall 10†to 12†fish. (I don't fish for them after the 15th of October or till after April 15th of this year (camp is closed) Posted reports of such didn’t get any negative replies or PM’s from anyone so figure what I was doing was OK. The one thing I had planned on doing this year was going to single hooks on ALL spoons when they were stocked in late September. Now (after what has been said so far here) I think I’ll just go to singles on regular size spoons and larger for this reason. The first thing I did last year and will continue this year was I went to releasing them in the water not bringing them in the boat and didn’t MAUL as many except one’s that hit a regular sized spoon with a treble hook with ALL three hook-points in its mouth had to bring them in the boat and as AC said tough time getting hooks out either tore them up or squeezed them so hard they were most dead going back in the water . Seemed to shake off the small spoons small trebles in the water OK so the single hook on larger spoons or drop the bigger spoons out of my spread and I really don’t want to do that but will if the single idea doesn’t work. I’ll also go a bit deeper to see if this gets me out of the little guys. Now I’m not 100% sure what you guys were getting on this. If I’m into the juveniles ( more than 3) working say south on the west side of the lake running 4 rods and they hit the a riggers with slider down 50’ would you take the slider off and change it to a fixed cheater 40’ down or leave everything where it’s at and move out over deeper water ??? I’m thinking move my spoon deeper first either by dropping the rigger deeper or changing it to a fixed. In Andy’s post I think he was also pointing at NOT working the same water you just hooked up with the juveniles running stuff the same way just to catch a bunch of fish. I agree with that 100% , last year I did run back thru them set up the same way ONLY if I picked up a keeper first time thru. This year I’ll make the above adjustments before I make that run. I guess that’s it on that for now. So to some of the rest of what has been said. I’m a Ole fart that keeps a lot or most of what I catch as long as it’s legal sizes and in the total limit numbers( 5 fish of which no more than three can be landlock or laketrout. I give over half away some to older folks down here that don’t fish but love eating them and the rest to my family. I like nothing better than going out on Seneca by myself banging say three legal lakers in short order head in take care of fish, the boat gear and then me. Cook up the fish I just got kick my feet up and look out at the lake……………… or fish my butt of picking up a few ( Seneca has a way of putting me back inline)……doing the same as above but take a nappy when done………. Nick if you need a ride give me a yell in a few weeks I’ll have the camp open after the 15Th. Jason be talking to ya all season I’m sure buddy !!!!!! Andy hope we hook up this season either here or your pond……. Thanks in advance for everyones fishing report in the past and the next one you post and taking time to help each other out this coming season and many,many more to come.

Asking $3,500 or BO Pm me for his phone number. Boat is located in Skaneateles area. These picture are a few years old but you will get the idea what it's like. It comes with full camper type canvas the one side window is cracked.

Nice report thanks for sharing............... I hope RR reads this thread no more swiming in the lake for him...........

Good luck to all from the BB in this event, sorry I can't help you out it's over before I open up my camp on Seneca.

Thanks but I don't belong to facebook so I can't see a thing.

...........have fun down there RR ...............I'll be opening up fishing camp on the 15th............then in fews days plan on hitting the lake..................

Is it a CB for sure .............. or VHF ??

I cover mine when NOT on the water with a large motor cover have also used a gas-grill cover.... I had a vynil cover from Cableas but it had craks and holes in it after one season.......you should beable to get hard covers for your fishfinder...... was looking at a Calea's catalog a bit a go and they make them......... I have hard covers for mine , when on the water and raining I put the hard cover on the top edge like a top keeps most rain off the screen.

I don't have that info off the top of my head but there is a guy in the park where I have my trailer that has a ton of them. Some relation of his or his wife makes them. I'll be opening up around the 15th and should see them then. If you still don't have any give me a shout and I'll get the info fom him...............

.........love it !!!!!!

Nice , thanks for the report !!!

WTG ,thanks for the report !!!!

Good luck selling her Joe , she is a jigging machine for sure....................if ya want to do some trolling or just go for a ride you got my # just call !!!!!

Nice fish , thanks for the report................!!!!!!

Thanks for the report Andy , sorry I couldn't join you. My boat list got a little shorter today but still lots to do !!!!

Always , always ,always check the drags by pulling a little line off the reel.............some times they LOCK up !!!!! On the 30's I have anyway. I had TunaTom go over them and up grade the drags (dumb move should have used that money to upgrade) for about what I paid for the reels when I bought them but they are sweet now !!!

That way if he forget's to take his boat he can still fish.... RR I hope my cuz never sees him then he'll be trying to TOP it.....

Atleast you can find your's I go out and buy more THEN find it.... .............

WTG thanks for the report................just wondering brand of side imaging sonar you tested.......... NICE landlock !!!!!

The first thing I noticed was the zinc anodes they were almost shot but my boat was/is a 1988 I bought in 1997. Most anything that was added should be checked to see if they need to be replaced. They had a rigger board across the back when I checked the thru bolts they were about as thick as a match stick in spots. Not sure if this was the salt or metal to aluminum degrading. Most other things like floor and such was old age and because of the way it was kept. I put a lot of time bringing her back and like ALL boats still have more on my do list.

Thanks for the report !!!!! Good luck out there Andy

Sorry to hear you didn't get out guys !!!!

thanks for the report good news for the boat also !!!!!!
