    Same thing on the South end Sunday,East side west side and middle of the lake.No size to the lakers and silver fish the size of the lures.A lot of junk floating in the water.

    Nice Les,Did you tell him we got lake trout in Seneca bringing more money than his Tuna?

    I hope I can explain this correctly. What I do is grab several feet of the towline and drop it in the water so the release on the towline is underwater.Then drop the several feet of towline In my hand in the water.The release should pop up further out.

    Sk8man one good weekend of decent weather and I will pound the list. People think you are crazy when you tell them you win fishing derbys in the driveway but its true..........Its in the details!

    Put me in coach. Im ready to play... Well almost. All I have to do is got to do is ....Respool the reels,check the swivels,make sure new fishfinder works,sharpen hooks. retie wire setups.hope new GPS chip is accurate.get new safety flares,figure out why trailer brakes quit working, replace a couple trailer lamps.change oil in both motors ,install new water pump in main motor,big motor gets a new timing belt also,install washdown pump,Get trailer registered,Make sure both motors start before going to the lake.Batteries could use a good charge,install new furuno transducer,and check the air in the tires a we will be all set. Im sure the way the weather has been other guys are in the same shape Im in. There are probably a few items I forgot to mention. I usually fish the Barney Bear derby the weekend before but I have a wedding to go to. I should probably add' keep wife happy' to list.

    I made one out of 3/8 steel and it just folded it. Held on with 3 bolts and a pusher bolt in the center. I also wacked the center bolt with a hammer under pressure flywheel will not budge. I thought someone might have the factory one they dont need anymore.Figure I better get the right tool before I break something. Contact me here or pm......thanks. time to change timing belt

    When they are on top rolling around with their mouth open X2 on releasing pressure so they go back down. Sometimes slowing the boat down works. I run 30lb test on everything.Real short leads so I can gain as much line on them before they get to the surface. On my boat if a fish hits and doesn't take drag we do not want it. And yes a big laker takes drag. Lakers do jump. 9K in Fingerlake derby winnings last year with lake trout......... So sharpen your hooks we plan on the same this year

    sbascombe keep us posted ,Ive been thinking the same thing. I hear they really fight and are good eating. I hear the Hudson scenery is beautiful.

    I will add something else to think about. I believe that what you are pulling behind the dipsey has a lot to do with how much the dipsey dives and how far it tracks out to the side. Speed has something to do with it also I believe pulling a paddle behind a dipsey it will not dive or track out as far as pulling a spoon.

    Thanks for the report.I seen you going thru Locke yesterday,nice looking rig.
  14. Fishstix
    I run mag dipseys.two per side . one set at 1 other at 3. 6ft 6 rod on the inside and a 10ft roller rod on the outside. I let them out with the drag very slowly. I usually tangle one side of the boat or the other every weekend. But its worth it because my best fish come off the dipseys. 30lb test mason wire.Dont know what else to tell ya.

    I took 1st lunker and 4th in the Bear spring derby last year. Im thinking the payout to me was around $960.. I dont remember exactly.

    Sk8man you should be writing for a magazine somewhere.I would imagine a lot of the Lake Ontario boys will be coming down for the derby .I was getting frustrated on Lake Ontario after fishing there 15yrs. I had a place at Hughes and the fishing just seemed to be declining every year ,dam east wind every weekend,100mile one way drive, lawn to mow etc. So I came back to the fingerlakes a couple yrs ago.Smaller fish but a lot easier to catch.The bite may slow down for awhile but I do not think Ive been skunked in the last couple years.

    I always figured if you have to go down 50 they can come up 10. Seen one years ago ,I think it was at Ekerts in Ithaca.I know this post is no help.

    . I will consider it, but I would really like a larger screen. I looked up the 582l and they are supposed to be a great fishfinder. Has yours had the screen replaced?Price?
