Ed, I called them, they gave me there address too send them back and to which ones. She said they were going to charge me to repaint them all. I told her most of them had the paint come off with one or two fish, she didnt seem worried and said the leave that to their discretion.... I found it to be a joke, but they catch me fish. Now, NK and O&M spoons hold their paint excellent, why cant anyone else? I have had the same problem with warrior spoons. One fish, paints gone!! 4.59 cent spoon!!!! might as well fish live bait

Thanks!!

Thanks Guys!!

Jim, i asked them about it. its due to flood control they said. that section of stream is ruined. the deep pockets are gone. forcing fish into the kaufer dams.. Werent you with me last fall when we found the salmon that somebody sliced? and took the eggs? [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Well, saturday i went out with some friends, Will,wendy and their two kids Kk and Michael And deckhand Joe. We ran north, set up just south of Rock Stream. Took a short time but we found bait. As soon as we did we hit fish. The first 5 fish were bows and then started mixing it up. Did only one laker. We fished 6-930 am and ended with 21 for 27 or so. mostly bows. Lost a good one on wire and rigger at boat. Michigan stinger spoons were on fire as usual. However, I have to replace the one with no paint again...grrr. It was wills wife and daughters first time trolling. Wendy managed to get a nice rainbow and salmon on the same rod. One on cheater and one on mainline. That was fun to net!! Sunday, I had clients from Oklahoma. I figured we could run to the same spot as yesterday and fish it. Well, the rain and water temps moved the fish and bait. We had to work for them. Only one bow hooked and she came off at back of boat. We went 10 for 17. Lakers, salmon, and a brown today. The mother of three, got lucky like yesterday, but this time with 2 lakers on one rod. A brute of a laker on the main and a smaller one on the cheater. She smiled all day and rubbed it in her kids faces! LOL!! Bait was south of rock stream more towards Watkins. Fleas were minimal for me compared to last week. Scattered weed pods made it tough.. Both days riggers parked at 77,66, probe at 50. Wire FF @ 200 and 220. Wire spoon around 230. 12 color, 5 color, 250 copper all took fish. Pictures to come. Nick [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

"As we are headed home Liam says dad I will never forget tonight's fishing trip..." Love it!! Way to go dad!!

Seneca is turned off, this weekened should be good. the sudden change of winds saturday to monday messed things up. Went from a south wind to a north wind. The fleas are horrible. Use youe 30lb mono but with about 10 foot of fluoro at the spoon. Good speed on seneca for me is 1.8-2.5 I like to keep it 1.9-2.2.. What kind of Downrigger releases are you using? How long of a lead from ball to spoon?

of course, sunday i didnt weigh any, so heres saturdays.. LT 4.8 BT 2.97 LT 4.47 LT 3.74 LL 3.13

thanks guys dave, the weather was good, and the fish knew rain was coming!!

Well, snuck out saturday with Justin and Rodney. We ran north to the honey hole. Wind was strong out of the South so we just pointed north and let the kicker keep us straight. We ran dipsys, riggers. We hit fish right away. Temps are changing and fleas were in the top 20 feet of water, after that they were gone. We hit Salmon and Lakers. Boated about 12 fish. Lost a couple good ones like always. Only two fish came on the flasher flys and many on cheaters and main line. Stinger spoons were my ticket.. Lake laid down and turned out to be a good day. Nice fire at justins after. Lakers, Salmon and a nice brown on the outside wire.. Sunday, 8/14. Had a longtime friend Mark, Aaron and Ben from the sister lake joined us. We Were running north when i realized the weeds were gone from the south wind. So i stopped and set up right in watkins. It didnt take long, once we started seeeing bait north of hector, we fired. Hit alot of good salmon and Lakers. We trolled north to Glenora and hit fish the whole way there. Had a slow point for a while, but then suddenly, Wham!! we had 5 fish on at one time. I had a laker hit the port rigger, then 3 more rods fired. Then one rigger tangled another wire, and as we were dealing with that mess, the wire fires in our hands. Then the Probe rigger fires, then the other and last line in the water fires(wire again). We hit those fish in seconds. Lost one of them. The one that casued it all! 250 copper was dead but the 12 color core was hot. Got both salmon and lakers. Had a laker on that we couldnt move. Mark was working her in then suddenly she just ssspppooiiinnngggg. Get the line in and wouldnt ya know it the Swivels Clasp straightened out...Guess her worked her a bit hard. Put the same spoon back down and fired shortly after again and again. we went 13 for 15. Thanks for coming Ben! Nick

i fish Seneca, south end ti long poin mostly. Lately the fleas have been bulding on my wires, rigger(power pro)..The mono rods have been clean with the 30 lb big game. But, for a while it was bad. Right now, i have not seen much. Like ed said, last year we had it til october. I hope we dont this year, bc i would love to fish the fall bite with no fleas !!!

that would be a good pond hopper

ya, i can do that, except id be fishing alone!! Ill run the kicker from watkins to geneva, and through the canal too, hahaha

If i had a way to get my rig over there i would man, A- no trailer two- no permit 3- not enough A$% in my xterra hahaha call me, so i can talk to ya about it

Have a couple open spots on the boat saturday and sunday if anyone wants in...Fish the AM til the bite dies and then some. Probably Grab some Grub at the Village Marina afterwards. 607 426 5919 if ya want in..just looking to fish!!! Nick

get a volvo!!

I thought moor wasnt good after 100 feet? What kind of battery are you using?

Congrats, Watch ya go out next week and hit the 14 lber!!

Dingy, when ya coming to fish seneca?!?!?

bump it up

Chuck any time! Thanks. I havent found any of the big salmon in a while, but they will show themselves....too much bait right now, every fish we catch is burping bait..

Well, did some fishing Saturday with the girlfriends family members, Guys day out! I had a full boat, and Joe as my normal Deckhand, We Headed north from the south end as usual, 6 am. No sooner than we started to set up, we had rods firing. Water temps were good, and bait is on top of the water column We hit fish on 5 color, 300 copper, 12 color, wire dipsys at 250 and 200. Riggers were Parked at the "right temps" and we had a mixed bag. Had some quality fish hit the deck this day. We could of went for a possible 30 plus fish, but only ended the day with around 20 or so. Everyone left with smiles!! Heres a few shots of the guys!

Well, i troll with the big motor when it is choppy out, but i have a Yami 9.9 high thrust, and it does the job up to 2 footers. This was an easy mounting process. I use the Electronic steering, The Panter T4 remote steering... i have a Volvo Penta aq 260 5.7 v8. It trolls nicely and will use a decent amount of fuel, however I run north on Seneca Lake everytime i fish from the south end, Averaging about 30 miles round trip each time i go out.. So i use the kicker to save me the fuel of the inbetween time... Good luck

look for green wires...aka corrosion. Or a bad kink....anyhting can cause it.

Vince, good call, Last year, on my sea ray, I had replaced all lines, even the tanks fill line. I have yet to do it to the new boat, but a company named Master Carr has awesome prices on Ethanol resistant fuel line. And cheap. Good Luck Guys.. Hope that viking treating you well
