turnip and I got out this morning had one good hit , turn rod to turnip and fish came off..... that was it...... what a time coming back into marina. Wind was out of due South and cranking pretty good..... took boat back out and came back in again set up for the east-side of the dock...whew !!!!! I would have been in deep due-do by myself ..... got it on the trailer OK ....

We got out this am with hermit ( thanks Alec) did some trolling then some jigging , found some issue with my placement of transducers that I thought I had a problem with and now SURE.....anyway not much to report fished east side to start quite a few weeds but not super bad picked up a double on two small lakers..... pulled and went west..... not much around but did hook up with a small landlock....... that's about it..... some day hermit and I will have more than just a good day on the water , with some screaming drags.........

Seneca if pretty flat right now....mid lake

2014 NAFC Finger Lakes Meet ( 10 years ) Looks like the first member will arrive today (late ) ( turnip )….. I already have Da tie ready …..

If it's not the one you need let me know I have a lot of old riggers (10a's) I took parts off of.......

If you go with dipsy and wire the fleas will not be a issue anyway..... I don't think your going to like them takes a lot of the fight out of the fish that you get now with jigging...... but they catch fish.....

Grills hot and searing meat side........... on the right laketrout seared , on the left the other half of the rainbow.... and two pieces of laker..... lakers skin off and almosted done cooking added a tad more Ken's... pile of skin....

Took today off time to mow grass before temp hit 90*+ ...... did some fish up yesterday in Ken's butter milk ranch dressing !!!!!! Good stuff , got the rest ready to go on the grill now !!!!

Back out this morning............

landlock.... laker.... then I could see his back was messes up...... got them like this before... .. better angle......

Back out today , went to area I was in at the end yesterday...... not much in there this time...... took one light tap on the wire rod with spoon ....... had a hit on probe rigger popped it reeled in no one home and no split ring or hook !!!!! ..... had a bump on 65' rigger rod thought it was the cycle from other rigger ( running 61 to 53 every 60 sec. ) anyway checked it later and fish on good one but lost it before I saw it....... turn and went back thru but ran into weeds down farther so pull stuff up and set out to No Man Land or Hooker-up play pen............ hooked up 78' down..... then other rigger goes put first rod in holder and stuck the other one..... acted more like a sliver fish so I stayed with it and landed a 20" landlock..... got back on other od and h was still there got a good laker to the boat and turned him back.....having landlock on the grill soon...... load a fe pic after I eat......

That was another DAH !!!! moment for me again , I hit the bottom right button on the I-Pilot hand held control. .... as I was coming in hard to get back in area where I had the hits ( heading straight into shore and I know better than that ) I ended up lined right up with a shoal so I had to finish turn fast or hit the rigger balls.... ...... that button I had hit , ended up turning off the prop on the I-Pilot trolling motor..... ....... so I turned with wheel but not soon enough and ended hitting both rigger AUTO - Up or hit bottom ..... .... the only thing that hit was the diver rod... .. like I said it was all ME equipment works fine.. ... they just need a better operator.........

Wasn't going to go then saw it was out in Ohio and we just had so dark clouds so off I went............ was working in shallower than I have been and then I pulled a DAH !!!!! Rod holder up against the clutch adjustment screw loosened up and down goes cannonball with X4 probe to the bottom........... threw boat out of gear ....poped other rod and brought that rigger in.. then worked to get the probe back............. got every thing back in boat didn't loose anything except for about a 100' of diwnrigger cable........... I'll take that lost any day........... got back in the game and went to deeper program........... ran past buddy from the park gave him a call on the cell phone checking to see whaqt was ahead and if he was doing any thing........ went a tad father and pulled every thing and went to the west side........... ran two rigger , 5 color core with a diving stickbait on a inline board............ nothing pulled and changed spoons........pulled core and put wire slide diver out with a spoon............ got into two bows one on the 65' rigger and one on the wire out 180' and had a release while I was trying to revive on bow in the live-well that I never saw............ made a turn to go back thru area and while I was doing that I was messing with the I-Pilot , hit something ( I know now what I did ) anyway it would not steer and I thought it was because I was going into the wind and it had picked up some............. anyway ..... had to bring lines up before I bounced ball on the bottom............ thought that was enough fun for one-day..... all FLT spoons....had to keep one of the bows could not revive him he was the one off the wire rod.............

...... or a trolling board that you could put on the boat you want to fish that day...............your mount for your rigger would be on the board with rod holders or what ever..... then you could make the board " portable " .............
