    Just ball busting fishnut.

    Last week my divers (standards and mags) were out anywhere from 90’ to 250’ depending on where fish were showing on graph or down temps for that day (Cayuga Lake). Most of the bigger fish came in that 80’ down range.

    June is always one of the tougher months. More gizmos and different techniques get deployed in June by trollers than any other time of the year. Reasons..... - The water is changing. With surface water temps warming and spreading out offshore, fish have more options to find preferred temp range. - We still get East winds. - Alewives are spawning in the shallows - There are still alewives and kings in winter pattern on the bottom - spring-spawning steelhead are in a recovery lethargic mood often feeding on surface bugs rather than chase alewives. Things to to do and try ... - Cover as much of the water column as you can. Put as many downriggers out you can deploy with cheaters - In June, use da spoon - Fish slow on downtemp. - Chase the fish- with alewives spawning in close, kings will move in and out in feeding forays during low light ie. if you start in 150’ and don’t see anything on graph, you might see a different picture later in the day ( I don’t get up early in June). - Offshore, fish can still be caught in the top 20’ others can add more. You Oak boys can talk about your goofy five-of-diamonds spoon lol.

    Gary, how long have you been chasing salmon if you don’t mind me asking? The reason I ask is I need perspective on your years-in so I can answer appropriately. If you just started trolling last year, you started your trolling career on a year that will go down as the greatest in recent memory so your perspective of the norm may be “off”.

    Malin used to be everywhere, now I can’t find it anywhere except on eBay. Always liked the handling of Malin over other brands. Anyone have any leads?

    Back home with lots of memories made. Cayuga Lake......all rainbows and Unicorns.

    The delayed spring has bass on their beds. 10’ fow you can look down and see open shell beds carved out of bottom weeds. Every night DARK largemouth come into the shallows to pluck a few gobies before heading back to their beds. Tons of bass rigs around and I have yet to see anyone catch a bass. First night here I took a kayak up to the next dock and caught a three pounder on a bladed jig. Have not caught another since lol. Yes, I have tried Senkos.

    Water temp is 75 degrees. We fished close to our rental up North near Verick. The goal today was to catch a brown. We set up at the North rim and played around in the 100’ zone. Tons of bait and hooks. No Browns but we quickly realized we could not stay out long. Warmer surface water at this end made fish revival difficult. We pulled lines at 8:00 with 5 of 6 lines dragging lakers, a undersized rainbow and an undersized Atlantic. We headed down the center Northbound over the north rim towing stickbaits for smallmouth but only got a pickerel. As usual back to the dock for breakfast by 9. I forgot to mention the great carp fishing at night. More pics. Lures for rainbows was a R&R alderton-type dodger Dave is offering towing a Warrior flutter lite spoon. The other two spoons are northport wild things.

    First trip ever to Cayuga. Spending the week with family enjoying the light switch trip into summer from a cold crapy spring. Water temps on Saturday was 62 degrees. Today it is 73 degrees. I am really enjoying this lake! Dock fishing for kids, tubing, hiking the area state parks, Bass are spawning but pickerel and giant perch around AND.... great trolling for trout! The lake is just setting up. I am trolling over deep water near Dean’s Cove for three hours each morning and have been clobbering suspended lakers with occasional rainbows and sub-legal Atlantic’s. Flasher/fly down deep on center rigger, otherwise all spoons. Slide divers are stealing the show. 1.8 mph downspeed with R&R superlites on rigger outdowns and Northport Nailer Wild Thing spoons on divers. As the water has warmed considerably, we are using ice cooled water in our fish box to revive the lethargic ones for release. What a great fishery! The graph looks like Lake Ontario with bait balls and big hooks all over.

    He went out for a little pussy?? If you watch PD live on the television you will see this is more common than you think. The opioid epidemic has ruined whole towns.

    Reference to the trump banner. If it needs explaining, it probably isn’t that funny.

    Nice mixed bag. However, you should consider naming your boat “Kool-Aid” or perhaps “sinking ship”. I also have some swamp land to sell you lol.

    NY waters is via countable hook points. 9 per rod which is the same as a stickbait with three trebles. Canadian rules are different

    What were the names of the DEC representatives working on this?

    So how would the LOC regard the extra weight of the ring lol. Great story.
  22. Gill-T
    Compression test? Tune-up kit? Timing off? Carb need adjustment? Are you misfiring? Sounds like it is time to get another set of eyes on it.
  23. Gill-T
    Better landing ratio with fixed cheaters.

    Include me as a future participant on correspondence for next year’s event. Thanks.

    Thumper is more stealthy. Don’t sweat it. Give them what they want. Riggers shine on the bottom past 100’.
