What if one takes yer bait and runs off? How do you know what it is till it gets reeled up?

Will the bass guys be at Dean's Sunday am? Don't they launch at like 5?

beautiful man

Just be mindful of the wind, watch the roll, when it starts to pick up a little move in closer to shore or even the channel. I troll out to 225fow on calm days in my deep V 16 no problem but have some experience with other fisherman in bigger boats also. This helps, I've fished in much larger boats during conditions that I would NEVER venture out in my 16...not worth it Learn which wind direction is best of course offshore winds or light and steady only run out there when you are sure they are conditions you can handle. If there is any doubt...no go man..trailer down to a smaller lake and drop the hammer on em because you can

Geez Alec, nice slob there!! keep the reports coming

Now, thats what I'm talkin about!!

wow that's a pig!!

Deep wow!! nice

ERABBIT,I have a gold one and silver same size(custom paint job ), new to my arsenal this year. wanna try them out on a king I also spray painted the fish wieght rigger green from black??50 foot lead..it fired twice!! any thoughts??

Yes , some sort of weight or swivel inline will gather what ever weeds slide down the core, ahead of the flouro. I love 10 color core, it was taking LL's all summer on Cayuga last year!!! No problem with fleas as long as you pull a heavier flouro leader..30lbs Seagar flouro good luck man!!!

Got tons of Canadice skunks buddy, she can get cranky too!!

Trailered to Geneva with my new trolling partner Jim. Jim is new to trout fishing and is gaining interest in my obsession, I warned him We launched at the Geneva launch at 6ish, trolled till around 8 staying in that 90-150 for most of the time and really wished I moved up. The graph was loaded with fish from 50-90, all depths , had rips on the copper rig off blue dolphin stinger spoon, did a nice brown off the rigger on an RR sooon 40 down over 60. All the lakers came on the wire dip with purple and black spoons, purple and black disey diver right at 150 on a 3 at all depths!! The noth end is loaded guys next trip the jigging poles are comin out, can't wait No giants but steady action, several short swips at everything kept it fun.AAlot of too small lakers around.. Saw a few boats cruising by if they were board guys saying hello

Hows the fishing been around the north end? Thinking of hiting Geneva launch for an evening troll. -chris

I had a similiar rig years ago with the same mercury. Great starter rig!!

Agree awesome!! calm conditions, got a life jacket on come on go for it. Them yaks are awesome man, they can move through some roll fine. I yaked around Canandaigia one windy day , it was cappin...love it Nice job in there f7

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): Time on Water: Weather/Temp: Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: Surface Temp: Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: Total Boated: Species Breakdown: Hot Lure: Trolling Speed: Down Speed: Boat Depth: Lure Depth: ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Not seeing many reports this week, must be the cold water moving in that has slowed the fishing? Any tips on how or what depths to target fish this weekend, I am fishing close to Olcott or even the Oak as long as the lake is calm enough for the 16....Thanks ====================

Anyone know where you can pick up a 1000ft spool locally? about how much? thanks guys

Any tips on how to troll for walleyes in the early am? I spoke to a gentleman there last weekend that said "guys get em trollin" but had nothing else to offer. I have had luck trolling the pike of the weed line but is there a depth the walleys suspend at during the morning or first light? thanks ahead

I still have jerky marinade left over for last season

Thanks for the report How deep do you troll the cowbells over 150? Can these be pulled with a mag dipsey or do they only run off the riggers?

Incredible job in there..awesome LL Thanks for the great report!!

Hi Alec, good to hear from you. Got an old garcia, still works perfect!! chris

These reports are awesome!! heading up to Golden Hills this afternoon, hope the afternoon bite holds!!!

can't believe I am reading this post!! I was introducd to trout fishing by a cousin in the early 90's, Tioga county , Chenango, Broome!! I could not believe such a small beautifully colored trout could live in a 1 foot by 1foot creek. We caught them driftin worms ..just great memories and an obsession began!! thanks for the post

You got it, have a backup kicker or electric even if it just keeps you turned towards the shoreline till help can get there
