are you still looking for one for oswego I would love to do it beats working my second job on a weekend also am trying to get back into trolling figured in about 2 years i'll be able to upgrade to a bigger boat and get off the fingerlakes

I would love to but I leave for my week at black lake on the 18th

back when I was a kid my dad use to run small dipseys off of each side rigger called them down and outs would like the line back 50 feet or more and than set it that way he could park the rigger at 70' and still have a lure down 100 used to get a lot of fish that way but that was many years ago i'm just getting back into trolling now and things have changed

I remember a show like that the guy dipped the bait in the bilge than put it out all the oil washed off in minuets and the spoon got hammered. metal is not porous so scent washes off quickly with soft plastics or other baits it can be a different story thats why you see so much scent in bass fishing.

sorry it took so long to post got back out this weekend probably wont be back till late july. took the wife didntt get out till almost 10 started at last weeks area north of deans cove nothing. trolled across the lake picked up one keeper LL managed to wrap on both dipseys that fish was crazy. was the wifes first salmon. didnt get another hit till we got all the way back across the lake to the south of deans. another keeper LL that fish managed to get both sliders in its mouth. I havnt seen that since I was a kid with lakers on the big O slow day and what a pain with the fleas but not a skunk and definatly learning some things.

Hello I am fairly new to this site. I hope to become a regular contributar. I've only had my boat out twice since I got my downriggers and on the advise I got here I took the long drive past seneca to cayuga (deans cove). What a blast we went 6 for 10 On LLs with action all day. from 120' to 250'. with everything being in the top 50 foot. black or silver with green were the hot colors mostly on the sliders. kept two for the grill (first time they were tasty ) put the rest back. Makes me miss the days growing up fishing lake O with my dad. was wondering is this area good all year as its an hour drive for me and do the salmon get bigger as the summer goes on? If not I need to lighten up some tackle for them and keep the heavy stuff for the lakers. I did not get any lakers but fished mainly up high as it was a steady bite.

I used to leave them in the water with a bucket over there head calms them down and you can unwrap them also remember there 1/20th your size once i remembered this just grab them and hold them between arm and body while unwrapping the more immoble you hold them the less damage is done.

tried it this am not a single strike left early went looking elesewhare didnt do any better. that lake fustrates the hell out of me one day we kill them cant troll two poles than the next 5 times out I cant buy a fish.
