    Anyone have any luck jigging Lakers this time of year near the Bar. Planning to take a swipe at the Kings in the lower river and would like to have a backup plan if this warm up holds on.I can also throw some trolling gear from the Islander into the little boat but was hoping for something different.

    Alas no 800, it's a 600 copper I got from Tommy Allen back in the day. When a king hits it though everybody dives for the front of the boat.

    Let's go up to Skinny in the Little boat and flat line it w/ streamers on some whippy ML 8's, my arms are killing me!

    Wow. Put a real drubbing on the Lakers and Atlantics today on the diagonal between Atwater and Sheldrake. Nearly constantly had fish on from 8 to noon on 500 and 600 coppers(mostly lakers) and the riggers and divers were steady producers of LLs. Hottest setup for the LLs was Mag diver out 180 with the LGBT purple mirage FF combo and the 90' and 110' riggers w/ monkey puke and bloody death spoons, Most of the lakers came on the twin 500 coppers off the boards w/ mag Diehards and Gator spoons and the 600 copper down the chute with a pikeball 65' back and the rod up in the arch. The 600' copper was pulling a Mag Green Thunder Glo spoon by Yek. Lost track of fish over the transom but it was a pretty epic fingerlakes trip for sure. And now off to the Deer Woods for a bit.

    Too bad you aren't going out tomorrow -I'd lend you some ff combos to use

    County 10, 10 miles on the left out of Norwich, saw somebody towing a fishing boat slow way down on their way past this morning(my Islander is in the driveway) SE wind is going to stack weeds up thru the middle of the lake. E tonight should push them more to the west side

    The braid will work fine-don't sweat it at all. If it's a reg large diver put it on 1.5 and let em out 210 and 250 and let the fish do the math from there. hint: you'll probably have to let the shallow one and maybe the deep one too out a bit- just run MTn dew or green spinny's or protroll flasher /fly combos on em

    Thought I saw you guys going by the farmstead this morning, how did it go?-Andy

    you'll want to run wire divers w/ a reg large size dipsy out 240' or Mags out 160-180' or so at this point- the temp is deep. The LLs will hit em too! watch the little guys though they won't trip them often.

    I'm fishing tomorrow, will give detailed report from the lake LIVE (or perhaps from the Lucky Hare in Hector shortly after hauling out). We will start at Myers like last week, sticking to the middle heading N and if the middle is cold we'll work T-Falls, AES/Atwater, Sheldrake, etc. I need some lakers to smoke but usually get enough on the diver rods so the bulk of the spread will be set for LLs,Bows, etc.

    Looking to get challenged on Friday fishing what looks like is going to be a moody east wind sort of day, but it's the day we got so...Actually I like a challenge and our expectations will be a appropriately low so it should be a good time before heading into the ARCHERY TUNNEL!!! - Andy (Blue/White Islander-'Emily' for at least 1 more before breaking out the 'winter boat')

    Son holding net at back of boat when confronted with the angry atlantic on the main blasting back and forth near the kicker and the bow on the cheater jumping back and forth over the rigger wires- "What the hell would you like me to do with this mess Dad?"
  14. chowder
    Yeah, it's nice but I should have made it fatter, tends to vibrate and get stress cracks at the junction of the risers to the cross piece but we just weld it back up again..

    If I didn't have 2 kids in college this boat would be sold. I looked at it when my Islander was at Hank's this summer for repair and is is perfect. And I mean perfect.

    Lol Ken, The big bow came on the rigger at least. Most of the action was deep.

    Wtg. Gotta love happy clients. Whooped em pretty good ourselves today. Great post!

    Back on Cayuga. Lakers& Atlantics on 90 rigger, Bows, browns and Atlantics on core and more Lakers on 500 copper and the port diver pulling BW meat (other diver w/ spinnys was dead for us)
  19. chowder
    You guys are the best! I'll let you know what we find.
  20. chowder
    I actually have one. PM me.
  21. chowder
    Planning on fishing Cayuga a bit more this fall than past years. Have looked at recent reports. Figuring the fish are Atwater and south mostly at this point. Probably dunk in at Myers. Any suggestions appreciated, PMs are fine w/ me. Thanks guys! -Andy (Blue/White Islander or White/Green Alumacraft)

    Great Job!! Thanks for sharing! Here's mine: Years ago w/ Young son bringing in his 1st good king on a rigger hit. Fish was hot and right behind the boat fast!! I've got the net out and thinking to myself don't f###k this up. Fish flies right thru the port rigger wire like we're standing still and bolts towards the diver rod. I actually saw my son's line snap on the rigger wire which jolted the fish for a sec. Instinctively I stuck the net in the water on the port side and after breaking the line the Fish turns real, real fast & swims right into the net making DAD THE HERO. the end. (even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile)

    Saw you guys out there a couple times. Had similar experiences with widely scattered pods of fish on this , that and then the other. Still had a good time, after all one big fish here and there is enough anyway.
  24. chowder
    Had a couple more shots at em yesterday and today. Trolled 60-120 @2.4-2.7 with everything we had. Managed a few good fish but we surely did work for them. Steelhead in picture jumped out of the net and then circled the kicker somehow netted him again, so he's heading to the grill now.

    Day 2 Sunday 8-21: not better today but rougher with pelting squalls. Managed only 1 decent King today but sure felt great to feel land under our feet when we got back in
