    When the sunlight hits the water good you should see a pick up of fish activty.. Seemed to be that way all last week anyway.. If you have white green dot spin doctor put that down at 60 or any Flt king of sting spoons .. Like the live report keep it up great work..

    The one thing I lack is down temp, did you have a defined thermocline Mike?

    No probe for me yet.... But a good place to start is in 150 fow and work 40' to 60' down. lots of Lakers hanging in that range..

    Mike you sure have that boat dialed in! Totally pro! Seneca really turned on for the FLTA some huge boxes. Congratulations to Ketchum, and his 32-4 Box! Seemed like the bait started to scatter a bit and the fishing was epic. I was scared after talking to a guy at Deans cove Saturday that said he put in two five hour trolls on Seneca without moving a rod.... Congratulations again on your place and keeping the points lead, see you at Cayuga!

    WTG Mike :yes: and nice report and pics along with a good box of fish. Lets hope things will keep taking off on Seneca.....can't wait for the Fall fishing and flea decline with decreased water temps. :) Congrats on the results!

    Awesome

    Nice report MIke! Really glad to see that things are finally picking up - can't wait to get back up there on Friday and see if the "jinx" was rinsed off my boat in the river last week :shake: .

    Thanks for sharing the great pics!

    Great report Mike. I lost a couple nice fish early that I now would've made my box better. Unfortunately they took 3 of my FLT spoons. Web site is down and Dan told me he's not making spoons anymore. What's up with that?

    Wednesday 7-8-15

    Well decided to take a few days off of work last week... Started last Wednesday and took a friend who has a brand new boat and is getting into trolling and wanted to learn how some of the setups work so we took my boat over to Cayuga and launched Bright and early... Well like I said the plan was to show him how to set Dipsy diver rods and cores and coppers but that really didn't happen because the fishing was spectacular couldn't even get all 6 rods set for at least an hour... flasher fly bite on the Dipsy's was unbelievable I think we went 26 for 30 in 4 hours and had an absolute blast ... I did lose a a really really good Lake Trout at the boat we're catching so many that I tried to grab the flasher and pull the fish over and I didn't realize that somebody had tied a real light leader onto the flasher and I snapped the fish off...Was easily over 12 pounds wish we could have got pictures for him with that fish but oh well overall a great day and a day I don't think he'll forget for a long time...

    Thursday 7-9-15

    Launched out of Lodi with my son doing some scouting for a tournament I had coming up on Sunday... We decided to bounce to a bunch of different spots to check them out we found fish everywhere we went but not the quality we were looking for but overall a great day on the water and quality time spent with my son which was the true trophy.. Finger Lakes Tackle king of sting was getting the job done on the 300 copper, white green dot Spinny on the Dipsy pulling a Seneca ghost..

    Friday 7-10-15

    Was going to fish Seneca again that day but the night before Nick o called me and asked me to mate a charter with him which I easily agreed to do. We took a group of 6 out and headed straight to lakerville.. I will keep the details up to him on this one but overall another good day with lots of Lakers and one Landlock caught....

    Sunday 7-12-15 FLTA tournament Seneca Challenge

    Got a little bit of a late start to the morning but got out on the water right at daylight ran across Lake and set up where I knew there were some decent lake trout.. we got all of our rods setup up and wasn't long until we are pulling in some decent Lake Trout. . Again 300 copper was getting it done with a king of sting and we are also pulling some in on the rigs and Dipsy's. . At this point we have a decent box of Lakers but need to find some off fish so we decide to make a move to the middle of the lake and that's when all hell started to break loose.. we are trolling about Midlake 200 copper takes off screaming and instantly pulls the board under the water we know we have a decent fish on and Matt plays the fish beautiful and gets about a five pound landlocked to the boat.. as we get the rods reset we come back to the east side in about 80 fow and there are tiny schools of bait everywhere and rainbows all over them.. we have a field day boating many rainbows and get one decent rainbow. We decide to keep for our box... We head in to weigh in with a decent box of fish but as we find out others had a great day too... We end up third with 29 pounds with a five fish box and retain the points lead... End the day going 16 for 21... Overall a great day on Seneca after all the bad reports I was hearing I'm extremely happy with this fishing trip and can't wait to get back out there

    Ran into that some last year after big rains near were tributaries washed in and still think it was debris slowly headed to the bottom or even a possible current.. But right now the lake is setting up so could me a mixture of things,thermocline bait ,fleas and fish... Sometimes I'm tempted to get my ice fishing camera out and actually find out...

    Awesome job and report John..Well I had a plan after fishing over there a week before hand and finding some real quality fish but to no prevail. . Put a 5 fish box together but just didn't have the size I needed and knew it all day and it was definitely frustrating. . I hate leaving active fish to find fish but this time I should have... I believe we boated 36 fish and had a great day considering the weather we had the day before... Awesome Job to Brent who won the tournament and it was only his second FLTA tournament with the club.. Congrats to everyone I missed and see you all at Seneca ... P.s The bait was unreal all day long was suprised they were even hungry
