is there a web site for this derby? have been looking for a late summer one to fish is it a 3 day or a one day derby?
-
i'm leaning towards north end because thats shortest drive use manual down riggers so i rely on dipseys to get deeper than 60 down or so its nice when i know theres a t-cline up high because i can fish that with the riggers and lead cores thanks for the advice though i will definatly start with the dipsys deep

planning an am trip tomarrow debating between launching out of roys, sampson, lodi, or severn. I dont have a probe so was wondering if anyone could give some info about what depth the thermocline is in any of those areas. most likely will go to sampson or lodi as i have never tried those two before. will report if i catch any

I havent been on in a while. I apologize to lakebound 88 I had no intention of putting this derby down and in fact if I were in town that weekend I would be trying like hell to fish it I was more venting because i have been very fustrated the last couple years with engine trouble and a disticnt lack of funds and am now relegated to fishing with only a kicker. I understand that putting togather something like this is difficult at best and have no illusions that I could do a better job. i hope it does well and in future years grows to something as big as the lake trout derby. I like the rule format and is my favorit style of derby when ice fishing shot gun starts are a good thing for one day torunys I guess I just put my foot in my mouth a little I just wanted to publicly apologize to the organizer for my bi***ing.

The date happens to be the weekend I get back from vacation the wife would never let me fish that day thaat being said I wish it were more small boat friendly I have a small motor and limited range so the start from the pierhead is a major disadvantage if u could fish from other launches id be more interested [ Post made via Android ]

i feel ya info from this site has gotten me to try lead core and wire dipseys this year espically they have combined for the most fish with the short cores being the best my next one to try is copper but I may wait to see if i can get a bigger boat first. if that takes to long than i will be looking for a 400 copper

Left or Right hand retrieve?
ifishy replied to Curro's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
just give it some time and you wont even notice i'm just getting back into trolling after spending the last 10years or so doing only spin cast and I picked up the rod and it felt completley natural to reel with the other hand (grew up trolling lake O with dad). just reel in a couple full cores or coppers and your muscles will get used to it quick -
Scary to take a 16' alum on one of the bigger lakes?
ifishy replied to genEus's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
I fish out of a 14 footer in all the lakes even big o its all about watching the wind if its blowing fish the calm side of the lake only if you have any doubts about your motor get an electric and stay where that can get you to shore its a great tool for controlled fishing also. If u plan to troll. Planer boards are a big plus I have an entirely homade mast I made for 20a bucks and homemade boards I inheareted from the 80s I caan troll 6 rods pretty easy if you want ill send some pics im all about the small boater [ Post made via Android ] -

66 Starcraft Alum 16ft, 78 40hp Merc, trailer Sold 6/17/12
ifishy replied to MCF's topic in Boats for Sale
I have this boat in 14ft it is an awesome starter boat its a 66 and still in good shape and I beat the hell out of it. once ran over a dock at full throtte(elbow hit lever while I was pulling out) didnt do a thing to the boat catches lots of fish and travels well to follow the weather or bite. I recomend it to anybody looking to break in -
i used to find them when fishing for summer perch I would take the smallest hook i had and freeline a fathead minnow could watch them suck it in and work it down to the softer but not soft tissue of the lips and set the hook smaller the hook better the chances sometimes they would roll and wrap the line around there mouth which is a good hook up to I got some 3 and 4 footers this way in front of russell when the plant was on always fun to land one of them when wading in a pair of shorts. also got them on sodus in the summer more than once.

i wish there was a week or two between the seneca derby and the canadaguia one my wife wont let me fish them back to back
-
i've not tried canandaguia but some deep diving wide body plugs like a cotton cordell get it bouncing right off the bottom and pop it when you feel rocks they will smash it on other waters. good for trolling pick the right plug for the depth there are some that will get 20-25 just stay outside the weeds and bounce the hard bottom

Well this was our third yeaar trying it and we did a little better we netted ten and hit all four spieces both were improvement s for us had a rainbow that was 26 inches but looked like it left the creek the day before and was so skinny it only weighed 5 was on the board for about a minuet I continue to learn more about the lake and a lot of it comes from this site even managed our first double this year. I plan to fish all summer this year so maybe I can start to get some more decent numbers. Good luck and congrats to all who placed [ Post made via Android ]

Had it happen twice to me once a wire connecter was a little corroded on the inside cut it off put on a new one and was good. Might be a quick fix just run the wiring and see what it looks like the other time the transdeucer bracket broke and would swing and pivot so it would stop getting a reading and just flash [ Post made via Android ]

I vaguly remember on my dads boat as a kid he had a license and assigned call letters but I don't know if it still applies over my life so far I've towed in three others and been towed once always be willing help others but if there is a service for your area it worth the fee just for the piece of mind [ Post made via Android ]
