Who are you kidding. You caught it at Taft Bay in 30' of water on a sonar B ye the way, the "finders Fee" will be two clams casinos for me and Ange at T.J's first ice!!

The more I fish for perch, the more I find that they all have differnt techniques on different waters. Lake Ontario bay fish are easy pickens on just about anything although I prefer fin s plasticks on a small jig head. When they move out to the lake, you have to use a drop shot at least two feet off the bottom with a fathead to keep away from the gobies. Erie perch are deep, and Jimski knows what they like there. As far as Seneca is concerned, get a camo blanket and hide under it in Lund's boat! He is a Seneca magnet. As far as hooks go, I always use Gamos #6. In Lake O., it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I had to smile at that report Tim. Sounds just like my experience. Some day we will get them, but in the mean time - SODUS.

I need a short shaft 25hp for my aluminum boat. If you have one, and it starts contact me. 1975 or newer.

Thanks for the call. That's one to be proud of.

Nice job. Looks like theyb are here for good.

Just noticed your post Grady. I found the exact same pattern on Sunday. Found my best action right on the dropoffs. Hope we can get out tomorrow and Sunday

I think the energy is there. Shooting 350 grain carbon express,100 grain rage, at the time and 55lb. draw weight. Doesn't matter though. Have heard a lot of good things about the S.T. and will use them.

Well I know that Steve and Keith and many others wil probably disagree with me but I have to say that I will never shoot Rage 2 blades again. First, I am a re learning archer. I started 40 yrs ago and gave it up until three years ago. I also am a bit of a wimp, and only draw 55lbs . My first experience with Rage three years ago was great. It did everything it was supposed to. Massive hole, buck went down within 20 yds (broadside shot). Two yrs. ago, I had some doubts. Hit a doe, shot looked good, and found the arrow but no doe. Searched for her most of the next day. I did, however, take another doe later in that season, but had some lingering doubts. Last season, was the clincher. Hit a nice 8pt. at 22yds. and watched it trot away with the arrow in the shoulder blade. This was a slight quartering away shot and the initial penetration was at a small angle. The rage never penetrated! Thinking back, the doe I lost the previous year also was hit at an small angle. Broadside shots, they work as advertized, but I have zero confidence in them with any other shot. I went back to Muzzy's last season and took two does with no problem. This year, I am experimenting with the Slick Tricks. They seem to fly straight so far.

For gills try Ides and Massaug coves north of the bridge on the west side and also south of the bridge along the east side near Glen Edith.

They were in about a week and a half ago, but on ly for a few days. The last time I heard, there were some in last week Wed. This time of year, it is all luck. There are plenty of gills and silver bass and largemouths to keep you busy.

It just dawned on me who you were! How have you been and what's Lars up to?

Still available

Bump

I apologize. But I ran into a scam on this site last year when I was selling a boat. Have to be wary. Anyway, the canoe has been sold.

I agree. Our only fish last week was a steely where the walleyes used to be. Should have told me something.

Hm! Let me think. Just created an account, only one post and spells Bulington wrong.

I have a digi troll II that I have not used in a least 8 yrs. Everything works fine ( I can run it for you when you see it). I comes with a canon deck plate, swivel base, 24" boom and the three rod holders which add to the price but you don't have to buy them and we can negotiate a new price. I would much rather see this rigger on someones boat than sitting in my attick for another 8 yrs. Asking price $225. or B.O.

12' Sportspal Canoe is a very wide stable canoe that I have used for duck hunting and fishing. This canoe is so steady that I have stood up in it while fishing and shooting fish arrows without feeling that I was going to tip. It comes with everything you see in the pict. I just don't use it anymore and it deserves to have a younger owner who will enjoy it as I have. Asking $400 or B.O. New, it sells for around $850.

Thank you Jimski. My pride is almost healed. I can't believe after chartering for close to 30 yrs. in the ocean and Lake O. walleyes are the hardest fish for me to target. I probably will hire a charter and blame thed captain next time

Just got back from my 270mi round trip journey to catch a walleye. As usual, I caught everything other than a walleye. One nice 10lb steelhead, sheepshead, perch and a gobie when I tried to catch a bass inshore later. Trolled from 70-90' from the water towers to the east with dipseys set at #3 200' back and riggers set at 55-65. Tried various colored worm harnesses and chattersticks. Back at the dock, the next two boats had only one waldo a piece. What gives?

Nice job. Jigging is rather addictive isn't it! We caught two at around 22lbs. in the Spring derby and a whole bunch more around 12 to 18lbs. We also caught two kings while we were jigging so it can be done. Now try some of the other finger lakes. Seneca and Cayuga have some nice size lakers and you mught even jig up a salmon there too.

Good post, and I would ad that the saltwater experience helped a great deal.(L.I.) I watched Bulletbob hit quite a lot of lakers last year on Seneca one day,and his advise is right on. I even tried it on Ontario in the spring derby and finished in 7th place with a 21lb.12oz laker useing the same Seneca lake jigs.

That's right. It was in and out in less than 20 sec. to remove the hook and grab a quick picture. I was in the boat next to them and watched as he swam away unharmed. You guys were the best at the laker action. Thanks for your help.
