I would be interested in the sharks if you could not make a deal with magnum lure.

Send me a pm, we can work something out. I have way too many. Only fish a few.

I have no mess at my home but tons of work at customers houses.

Made out good. Left at 5pm Friday and headed for camp. I figure the mess will be there Monday. Did the same for flood of 2006.

Been following this post and it got me thinking, I called "jesse James" with a badge or aka my insurance agent. I was pleasantly surprised to find out I could get 10k worth of contents coverage for $108.00 a year. Loss due to theft is included. For me that will put a good dent in replacing all the gear including electronics . Granted I would still take a loss but it help dramatically. Most boat policies carry only 1k in contents coverage. Just an FYI

Great looking rig! Hopefully you will not have to " pay your dues" and break in this boat. Look forward to seeing it on the water.

Will you be fishing barney's next weekend? If so i'll swing into myers on friday and toss it in your boat or if your on the lake friday mid day swing by my dock. You guys are killing me on the new boats. My 21 year old rig still catches fish.

Tough day of fishing. Left camp around 6am started off with a north troll up the west shore. Good temps were down deep. 53 degrees was 70 ft down. Hit quite a few lakers running everything below 80 ft down. Wires produced at 270 and 290. Green on green on both. 400 & 500 coppers off the boards did well also. Spoon bite off the riggers was the worst. About 10am we moved to the east shore and found the silver fish finally. We did dodge weeds but it was managable once you figured out how they were running. We ended up doing a bunch of shakers and 4 LLs over 5lbs, 3 rainbows with one being over 8 lbs (i think it was a seaforlorn brown???) That was only my second one to catch ever. Riggers and 10 colors did most of the fish on the east shore. The secret spoon my wife picked to run a few weeks ago has out produced every other spoon i've ran since it came out of the box. That is the new go to spoon. We'll be out the next few days each morning hopefully we can get on the fish from the start. Mower

Zek- give me a call on the cell if your on the water. My VHF is acting up. Hope to see you up there

Sounds like a fun morning. You have to love it when those throw lures back at you. GPS issue, about three times a season we run into a similar situation. Plenty of satellite coverage and the gps acts up. I often wonder if some military testing is going on close by. I'm looking forward to the long weekend, hopefully get 4 mornings in row on the lake and get a good plan in place for the Fall B & B next weekend.

Call Kevin Jerge at Wilson Harbor. He seems to be the "go to" guy when it comes to Ray Marine

Well the kid in me won out. We did so well Sat that I wanted one more whack at them before the weekend was over. So at 6:30 we left the dock. Definetely tested the sea legs. We put up with it for two hours and had enough. We managed a few nice LL and one 10lbs laker. We did a south troll which basically the wind and waves kept us at 2mph in nuetral. We basically used the kicker for steering only. One our way back we managed to rope a broke away sailboat tied that up safely then headed in. Definetely tested the docking skills. Not a good day for small boats but as always the 23 Larson held up to the Challenge. See you guys next weekend for 4 days of fishing. Mower

Great morning! I am loving this 3 rod rule. We set up on the west shore in about 100 fow.. Tons of bait. We ran 3 riggers 53 58 and 63 down, two dipseys and both 10 colors and 300 copper off the boards. From 6am to 9:30 we could not keep all rods in the water. It was literally crazy. We lot count of fish but 3 triples and 4 doubles were part of the action. We did very few lakers, 90% of the fish were browns and LL. Biggest brown was 9 lbs with tons in that 5-6 range. My wife agreed a safe estimate would be 35 fish. At 9:30 we lost our bite. Even the bait had moved. Our hot lures included purple/silver spoons. White s/d and big weenie extreme procotoligist. Green silver protroll with shark week fly. Blue/silver stick off the 10 color.

Let me know next time your on the lake, I've got a package for you.

Tom, great to hear you having a banner year! With the economy in it's current state any business showing growth is truly doing something right. I just placed an order Sunday eve. No problem on the wait. One suggestion from another business owner. Some people don't like to wait, offer them expedient shipping at a cost that puts a few more $$$ in your pocket. I can't tell you how many times I've paid OT to get jobs done and that billed directly back to the customer. Everybody wins.

Did a morning trip with my old man and a buddy today. First let me say it so nice being compliant with the law running our normal 6 rod spread. Started off just south of sheldrake on a south troll. From the start we were getting quality fish. Numerours salmon around 4 lbs, one big LL over 7 and a brown over 8 lbs. We targeted many silver fish parking our 3 riggers above 53 degrees. 62 54 46. Spoons on the riggers purples , greens and blue up high all r&r. We kept the wire at 170 & 180. White on white did it. Our bite died off around 9:30am. 9:45 Our 500 copper fired, this felt like the biggest fish I 've ever had on fishing cayuga lake, the fight lasted 10 mins. After 10 mins I had more line out then when I started, then one good run and I was out of backing. While this was going on the rods were being cleared and we had the boat slowed to 1.1. I could not gain any line. My last resort was to tighten the drag with 2 wraps of backing left. 30 seconds later my 50 lbs leader snapped between the flasher and the copper. Big Fish. After that we made a 180 by the boy scout camp and headed back north. Late morning bite stunk for us, we did a few more before heading to the dock around 12:30.

I will take it off your hands and run it through my equipment at work. Heck we have salvaged fuel from equipment we purchase and on motors that are less sensitive it runs just fine.

1 fish 4.7. imagine that 9 hours on the water and only 1 laker all day- but tons of silver fish

Nice job. It is so great to hear stories like that one. it is also great that Cayuga is producing some great fish this year.

Scott, is it possible to make arrangements to have some of the short term moorings available for guys who are not trailering out at myers?

diawa 47 1000ft no backing

To protect our fisheries let's follow there suggestion and get the specimen to D E C for investigation.

Looking for a bow or stern mount trolling motor for a 16 ft aluminum boat.

Andy, I agree with 100% on the fundamentals of using a speed/temp probe. I personaaly run the DR. One thing that should be added that I feel is just as important. This statement I am going to make often made good days great. Do exactly as Andy says and you'll put fish in the boat, but once you get on the fish make a mental note of what you just did so you can replicate. Over the years finding a temp break or a current change can pile fish up in certian areas and these areas can move as a day goes on. Until recently I would leave fish in search of more fish- not necessarily bigger fish. I have no problem trolling the same 1/2 mile or less over and over if the fish are present. For me it works. While on the subject of replicating I started keeping very accurate logs of my trips. This has many purposes, one it lets you get good starting points from what produced in past years at the same general time. two it will remind of of little things that worked in the past that you may have forgotten about and lastly it is a trip down memory lane. I find more enjoyment in reading the log then I ever thought i would. My wife laughs but sometimes I'll make stupid notes like "soggy pbj" or "bought ice cream-lost bet" along with the important things of coarse. I have been doing it for 4 years now and you'd be amazed how cycles in the fishing are realized. Just my 2 cents.
