It seems to me that you are drifting too fast. Get a minn kota and spot lock or if you don’t have spot lock, I used to keep a smaller minn kota in reverse heading up current. As far as jigging goes, 1 oz. round jig, white plastic, braided line, fleurocarbon leader.

Glad you put some info out there. I had no idea that this was going on. I’ll try visit and check it out.

Pequod1 replied to zackblain's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
Zach, my buddy Chief (ANDY) is looking for a terrova, PM me if you still have it and want to sell Thanks, -
I use the dragonfly 5 and Jig lakers in Keuka. You can easily see the lakers and jig on it. I bought the 5" screen because I have a smaller 16.5' boat. The good, the Navionics or C chip is included in the price. Your choice. The bad, The transducer looks like a giant bird beak back there and I am in constant fear of breaking it off when launching or retrieving. I have just replaced the bracket holding it on. but got it for free from raytheon. It was a $20 part if I had to pay.

God bless you Esox. Your a hardier soul than me. -
Can you enlarge it for me too. I have to find my specs and can’t remember where I put them
-
You could atleast take a picture right side up. I got a crink in my neck.
-
That’s a good basic recipe. You can add whatever you like to it for your taste. Old bay, graded cheese, celery, onions etc....whatever.

No, I crossed the lake w/o a problem in the morn,spudding all the way. Met up with a couple friends that showed up later on the west side and hitched a car ride back to my car at Standpipe. Worth it. Scored a nice parking spot on west side. friends are on Oneida now. Over a foot of good ice. They walked out from Sylvan beach. Nothing but pins so far
-
Thats crazy, I did the drive around too. Did not want to be the only one out on Conesus and checked Silver. The ice at Silver looked like it was going fast so I did not stay that long. Lots of small perch in Silver, but they seem to have grown up since last winter. They are averaging 8 1/2", last year 7" tops. Next year might be good.
-
Nice perch. Never fished that lake. Just got off Honeoye. The fish that were there the past few days disappeared. The only logical explanation is they were the victims of an alien invasion and are now headed out of our galaxy. Just when I thought I had this lake figured out.
-
Fat Lady is getting up to the stage. Think I will get the boat out of storage soon.

Ditto on the G flex. Costs about $35-40. I tried fiberglassing, flex seal, and patches with epoxy that all failed. I have not used the G flex on the sled yet but Three years ago, I sealed a very leaky 14' aluminum boat with it. Even filled a 5" crack below the waterline. Sealed all the rivets and seems. Stopped the leaks and did not peal off. Very impressive to hold through all the pounding on the trailer and water. You need a heat gun to apply it and don't get it on your hands. Wear the latex gloves that come with the kit.

I am just waiting to see what happens. The bass population last year was great. The perch were a little harder to come buy but we started fishing for them well after the spawn. Gills and big sunfish were all over the place as well as rock bass. And do I have to mention the ever present pickerel. Just how the laker/ alewife population effects the other species is yet to be determined
-
I was wondering about this. I hardly ever use a heater when I fish alone and feel fine, but when I fish with one of my friends in the same hut, he has the heater on full bore and I wind up with a headache. I'll spend more time outside the tent and see if it makes a difference.

Keuka can be great or a dud. The fixit4 you contest for perch this past spring had a 1st and 2nd place five fish weights of over 10 lbs. with a 2.51lb lunker. This past week, I could not get one over 6”. -
After doing solid perch fishing the past few years (like 40+), I have caught two perch over two lbs. One in Canandaigua four years ago that Gator ate, and one in I Bay this fall. So, Here is a nickel for you Scotty. Who has a "Broad " sense of humor?
-
You ever notice why I give all my fish away to you. I was eating fish from Cranbo and Honeoye for years, and now look at me. Need I say more
-
Ditto!

Sounds like you are new to the sport. I might suggest a little research. Try looking at tip downs on the net and either make some or buy some. I rig minnows on them. As for jigs, it really depends on where you are. Maybe some tear drop style would be best for starters. I would also head over to a local bait shop like Mitchels on Lake Ave in Charlotte for more local information.
-
First off, go to cranberry instead. Get some minnows for tip downs or dead sticks and a few mousies for jigging any small jig will do.
-
I know you will make up for it next season. Just don't shoot the piebald -
Very fortunate to sit over new land I have wanted to hunt for the past 15 years, a real holy hole. Belongs to an old frat brother of mine. First sit last week I counted 20 does and passed on a shot. Yesterday, sat for 5 minutes, saw my first doe another five minutes and two twin bucks show. Got a nice shot at a 7 point and down he went. Another couple minutes and four more does show up at 50 yds. I think I owe my friend a good bottle of whiskey at the very least.
-
Coyotes would have gotten her for sure. Gambler saw one less than five minutes after shooting.

Wow, what a difference a little cold and snow can make. They are going to food pretty good. Just waiting to pick out the right one.
