If I wake up at 3:30 am , tow my 20+thousand$ worth of gear two hours to the big lake , only to find the launch blocked by some loud mouth a$$ hole... We gonna have a problem folks!

i had the boat all hooked up and ready to go. checked the radar at 5:30, called my bro and said go back to bed. glad you were eventually able to get out and catch fish. i'm gonna try again weds. or thurs. looks like the south end may be picking back up....

Nice bunch of fish! That perch looks out of place.. I'm sealing my driveway instead of fishing tomorrow ..... Gotta get my honey-doo list done

Lol... Thanks for the heads up, I know they got pounded pretty hard up there with storms. I

I'm heading up in the am. Prolly fish the south end, but I was thinking about maybe heading to Lodi instead. We will see what the morning brings...

I haven't been out in a week... Nice report, u got those browns dialed in ! Keep it coming, I enjoy your reports when I can't b there

Nice report! I sure do miss the old penn yan, glad to see she is still catching fish , and making smiles

I knew you would recognize that nick...

Hit the water with Tim and wild bill today at around 8:30. Started In front of the hotel on the south end and trolled north right up the gut. Right away we took hits on the 250 wire and the stacked rigger rod at 50'. Tim dropped both fish. 3rd hookup , and Tim finally boats a nice salmon. It was a steady pick for the rest of the day. We took salmon and rainbows on every rod. Many were your average cookiecutter fish that got let go to grow bigger. We kept a few that were hooked deep. Our best fish of the day hit a copper and green cheater. The rod bounced twice, then Pow! The fish was hooked and not real happy about it.... After a bit of excitement , a 6.5 lb. bow hits the deck! Again, the deep water was the ticket . Wire divers were 190 and 250. Chrome with green dot spinnies on both. Riggers were 80 and 65 with rods stacked 10' above. Carmel dolphin is HOT!!

Wow, what a beautiful brown! Seneca has been giving it up. Way to go , those look like very happy clients... As I sit here drinking a beer reading this post, I might not work overtime tomorrow , I might go visit Seneca lake instead.......

I see lots of other people were doing the same thing I was doing today. We hit the south end today, first lines didn't hit the water till 10:30. Had a bow released before our spread was out. It was steady pickings of bows , landlocks, and lakers till we got tired and finally quit at 3:00. We had doubles and a triple. I saw a bunch of boats working in tight to shore, but deeper water was the ticket for us. Our last few trips have been all salmon, bows and browns. Today the lakers decided to show up hungry. Rigger were 70, and 60 .wire divers were 250,190. Green , green/ yellow was all I ran. We kept some lakers for the smoker, and grilled up a rainbow, and a salmon. Wow! best fish ive had in a long tome. Today was one of those days I'll remember for a long time.

Ha , nice report,, we did every thing but lakers on the south end. Lots of nice salmon and browns, and a few bows up the middle of the lake. Lost a few that were set deep, kept looking for a big laker, just couldn't land one.... We did not start till 9:00 , but had steady action till 4:00.. Lots of debris and chocolate milk water out of the canal, but clear water outside the breakwall

My first lake o charter was with capt. Mick. Great guy! Looks like u had an awesome trip.

Right on ray. I put new sneakers on it last Friday. I bumped up from a 205 to a 225(8 ply). I do need to pull the hubs and service the bearings, just for my peace of mind...

Thanks guys. I've been scrubbing and waxing for a week and a half now. Darn weather won't cooperate so I can get a fishing trip in. Thunderstorms for the next week ahead. I'm workin every day with no days off. I want to get out one afternoon , but by the time I get out of work it's storming . ...

this was a one owner boat bought in 2000 as a left over. it has always been in a lift. i cant wait to go get the deck all slimed up!
