Couple more LL pictures. I had to net them before I let them go. They have a tendency to roll when they get next to the boat . It gets the line wrapped around their head. Also Ive never seen the lake so flat . The reflection of the clouds on the water was amazing. ... I cannot figure out why sometimes it cuts the heads and tails off in some of my pictures..Sorry. Ive got to wait for my grandkids to come over.

Planerboards 44 to 50 degrees

I was in the right place at the right time . Cayuga Had 5 on landed 2 all still swimming.

This was my best fingerlake salmon. I did not want to take it out of the water. turned around to get my cutters and lamprey was gone. Finally getting landlocks figured out. Jump rear and tear.Lots of fun.

Thanks for the outstanding report... I was thinking Cayuga today... Now im thinking Seneca.

Ive never had much luck using crimps . Years ago we had a discussion on this board on wire knots. The knot I use is so simple you would think it wont hold but Ive never had it fail and I run wire dipseys alot. This is a picture of wire tied to braid. Its a 50lb test spro swivel. The wire has a half hitch to the swivel and then a square knot. The braid is what ever knot you want to use. This wire knot can be used for attaching wire directly to your snap swivel.. Im not a writer or picture taker....

My guess is 1 ft of water off the end of dock. . Hopefully I save someone the trip.

Maybe we will find out what those big hooks are 50 down.

Received my silver copper hammered 35's today. They look great . Come on spring.

A silver fish.

We have had such great weather. Put my boat away early. Gas Prices is my excuse.

I remember bringing up the downrigger ball on Cayuga years ago and having lampreys on it. They would let go when the ball cleared the water and stick to the side of the boat... very poor fishing... Last few times going to Cayuga this year the bite is not as good as it has been. Its probably me but I think the waters a different color somethings going on. There has not been many Cayuga reports lately, If folks are not catching they generally have nothing to report. Been skipping the fingerlakes alot this summer.Going up chasing salmon on Ontario. I think Pappy above has the right Idea. MSGA. I have a late lake ontario report from Saturday.

Some real nice fish showing up. Not that I want to get older faster but looking forward to next years derby.Even if you think they wont make it they stand a better chance in the lake than in the cooler.

I had a dock .Did not fish much. 7 lakers and a LL. Brought up downriggerball in 80 fow and it was warm. Did tubing and sightseeing. The fish I caught were small very stressed . released and some probably did not make it. Fished both deeper water holes. 2 rod spread to turn tight. As you would imagine suttons. Guy next to me caught this pike. Nice lake ,extremely busy on weekends.The homes around the lake are just amazing. All the restaurants in area that we stopped at were great. Thanks to those who responded.
