Thanks guys , ill give it a try .

Hey guys , its been a long time , I'm still fishing but haven't had the riggers out for a real long time . How bad is the flea on Cayuga ,was thinking about doing some downrigging near Taughannock Falls this weekend but I still have all the reels loaded with regular 25 pd mono which might be a flea magnet .

Thanks for the heads up Hermit , is there anything going on at Meyers that you know of .

Is the lakeside trading gas station in Union Springs open or still closed .

The one I've been seeing is the real big green # 51 buoy Levanna east side just below Farleys point .

Has anyone seen the floating steel buoy in the Levanna area , we see it in a different spot every weekend , seems like a real dangerous situation , I'm surprised they haven't fixed it by now, there usually right on something like that .

Its definitely do-able saw a show the other day they were on lake superior if my memory is correct , they were really out far in the lake at a small rock island with a small lighthouse jigging huge lakers , they were using normal jigs but tipping the hook with skin from other fish they had caught , the lake was dead calm at the time .

Woody , Have you had any luck jigging on the big lake , if so lakers or kings ? Wish I was closer to ontario I'd give it a shot , can you imagine a 25 plus king on a jig !!!

Good to hear your back on the water jigging Alec !! Don't let my report stop you from bass fishing , I think some of it has to do with the north part of the lake that I usually fish just gets hammered every weekend . When I got a few smallies this past weekend I was further south and maybe that area gets less pressure , your way down the lake you might hit them good . One thing I'm guilty of is throwing the same set-up to much and not changing what isn't working , the other thing is I jig to much to give the bass a chance !!! I actually made up a list of varies baits I want to keep rigged up for bass so I can swap out a rig that isn't working without having to rig up a different setup everytime . Go get-um , good luck .

A big hello to some old friends that I'm seeing on here lately , we fished cayuga sat. morning , did good for the most part , dropped alot but ended up with at least 8 in the boat . Best depth was around 75 ft. nothing real big this trip but some really good fighters , sometimes they just won't quit . I've been trying to mix things up a bit with some bass fishing although all I hear is negative, with most guys at are camp having a tuff time catching any bass at all . So I tried an area further south and landed a nice 20 '' and a smaller smallmouth on a tube rigged weedless . Also picked up some small weedless jig heads rigged with small plastics and got into some fun drifting for pan fish , ended up with an assortment of rockys , perch and nice bluegills for lunch , threw the smallies back and keep two lakers . A fun weekend to say the least . !!! Good luck !!

Thanks para 2 , just what I was looking for, a general starting point .

Hey thats good news , I only caught one or two lakers in Owasco with those sores this past fall , I thought they were lamprey marks at first but didn't think there were any eels in Owasco , hope its not vhs , Owasco is so much fun to fish in the fall I look forward to it when Cayuga slows down , keep us posted browntrout !

Browntrout , I was wondering if you got the results back on the fish you sent in ?? Was it VHS???

Chris , I punched in a Rochester zip with weight and it came to 10.00 total for both poles , This could vary a little with your exact zip , but it sounds pretty close , figure 10.00 to 14.00 to be safe . thanks Bruce Guys , these poles are almost new !!! One was never used !! The other only one time !!!

Ok guys I got them down to 28.00 each plus shipping, thats the price of one from cabelas !!!!

I have two like new Eagle Claw Starfire SF 404 8' 6'' Dipsey roller rods for sale , one was used maybe two times and the other never saw the water but I did have reels on them . Would make a good wire line rig for a dipsey flasher fly set-up !!! 32.00 each plus actual shipping or this weekend I could meet in the Ithaca or Union Springs area and save you the shippping. Here's a link from cabelas , just scroll down to the model number http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... &noImage=0

Thanks for the info !!

Salmon river is a little to far , I'm familiar with the Oswego area and the harbor so if you guys think its better than Sodus and fair haven I might give it a try . thanks

I might be able to get out once more , which area would you guys suggest ? Sodus , Fair Haven , or Oswego , I have a 19 footer so I won't be going out to far.

Thanks for the info Doug , I thought the drag should be set on the lite side so there was some give in the set up ???

Hey Ray ( I mean Lord Buffy) your comms. will be paid in full when I catch my first king over 20 pounds !! , now I don't get up there very often so it might be awhile !! You except salmon eggs for payment won't you !! Keep those checks glowing !! and good fishing !!! Thanks Jekyll !!

OK guys , Thanks , I didn't no it was a must , I thought you could go without one without a problem !! I'll add them to my list .

Ray do you still need to run a snubber with the braid ??
