Rippin'Line

No problem

#5 and #6 on my gps. Lol

Take a pic of it when I get back to the boat. Lunch time

6/6 evening Started out slow but as soon as we hit our way points from Last weekend dipsy took off and we brought in an 18 lb king on a Fingerlakes tackle Protroll and an Atommik. Next few bites were skips on spoons off the riggers and one off the cheater. As soon as we were about to start picking up we hit on a 12 lb king get him in and about to pick up again and the dipsy gets absolutely smashed and rips out 200 ft of wire jumping and tail dancing the whole way. It was the hardest I have ever seen a 20 lb king fight and it was an absolute riot. Overall went 6 for 6. 6/7 morning Well Saturday morning we were expecting a very good morning with the way the previous evening went but it was dead quiet the first hour until rods started popping. However the size was definetely not there. Our average fish was probably 4 to 5 pounds and our biggest was about 10. good mix of Kings and Cohos however and hot setups were on the riggers but the 300 copper took its fair share of fish. I just wish they were big enough to break the rubber band. The free slider on the port side rigger was definetely the ticket and took well over half of the fish on the morning. All bites came from spoons and not even a touch on the flasher fly on the wires. 6/7 evening. We ran the same basic program from the moring with 2 riggers two dipsys and two junk lines off the boards. Only change was that we swapped out a flasher fly for another spoon off the dipsy. Action started slow but soon as the 7 pm mark hit the first rod went off that soon became a double off the 300 copper and free slider. So we get them in and two 12 poud kings take an ice bath. Throughout the rest of the morning it was a steady pick of kings and cohos ranging from 3 pounds to 19. 6/8 morning After finding the larger fish again the previous evening we were really hoping that we wouldnt get into the little guys again and that sure didnt happen. But after being spoiled the last three trips we were heading for a disaster. As in a 3 for 17 disaster. This included three lost spoons to breakoff's or fish charging the downrigger cable. The 3 fish landed however included two 18's and a dink. Lucky for us I usually double up on spoons I buy in case of a break off and were still able to keep the same program. 6/8 evening Well instead of fishing I decided to give the boat a good spray down and cleaning before letting her rest for the next 2 weeks. Work obligations will unfortunately keep me away for a while and the plan is to fish Sandy with a friend for the start of the summer loc. Good spoons were FLT SSW, DW SS Steelie Dan, FLT KOS, and an NK Mag that I dont remember the color basically silver with green tape. Will post pics as soon as I receive all of them.

Nice! I was out there as well but later in the day. Found the steel as well

HAHAHA!!!

Sunday 5/25 Fished the Natioanl Lake Trout Derby with a buddy of mine from Friday to sunday and rather than actually get more than 4 hours of sleep I figured I would head to the big lake and meet up with a friend to get my boat out. Sunday evening we shot out to 50 FOW and set out only 3 lines since we had about an hour of dylight and once we reached 75 FOW the dipsy got smacked but as soon as we could get the road out of the holder it was gone. But at least we had a starting point for monday morning. Monday 5/26 Shot out to 75 Fow and sent out spoons on the riggers, flasher flies on the dipsy's, and deep diving (12 to 20ft) sticks off the boards. We started a northwest troll and as soon as we hit te 90 foot mark the 90' dispsy took off with the first good King of the season. My buddy wrestled that one back to the boat and we slid the net under a 15lb king. So we reset and after a spoon swap on the rigger not even 10 minutes later we get a pop and off to the races with a 10 pound king. Reset again and another 10 minutes later the rigger pops with a 5 pound king. By now the lake status has gone from 1 footers to 4 footers and boat control while netting fish has become a problem with just the two of us so we decided to pack up. halfway through one of the longlines off the boards pops with a small steelhead to wrap things up. ended up 4 for four with a few pics. Missing one I cant seem to find but not bad for 3 hours of fishing. Good luck everyone in the coming weekend. There was some debris up there but no where near what seneca was like.

Cool

E you upgrade your boat? You and I used to put up reports on hemlock/canadice until I got the penn yan. Nice job on the fish.

Of course we catch an 11.28 today! At least we got something out of it. Hopefully we can hook another good one tmrw.

I was out with Fisherman85 yesterday and as we passed through the creek they started jumping everywhere and the gulls were absolutely loving it. They started dive bombing the bait and most of them were succesful in picking them up from right off the surface.

Things change. Personally I think it's all a bunch of over reaction. Can't say I've ever heard of anyone ever getting sick or dying due to consumption of lake O fish. Just eat in moderation and you shouldn't grow another head or start glowing.

you just got to keep thinking... only a few more days, only a few more days. lol

Thought the lake would be rocking today. dont look to bad.

WAIT A MINUTE WHO YOU CALLING A WOODCHUCK? Haha cant wait to see what your boat is made of teammate!

Man that sucks losing a rigger. Nice job on the brownies tho
