Great report sounds like a great vacation! -
Seneca Quality vs Quantity - Seneca Lake Rainbow
BrookTrout replied to BrookTrout's topic in Fishing Videos
Yeah this is one of the biggest I have got from Seneca. -
Got out for the first time this season last week. Slow start on the SW corner, marking lots of bait but not many fish. Moved north and saw lots of gulls swooping and diving (alewives). Setup and made a turn, leadcore (6 colors) fires hard. After a nice fight boated a nice 5.25 lbs rainbow. He ate a steely dan DW SS spoon. My expectations were low so I was happy to connect with a quality fish although that was it for the morning, This was a hatchery fish with a clipped ventral fin. Surface temps were 64-66 , no fleas or weeds to deal with. Speed 2.5mph. Check out my vid of the morning on my YT channel

nice fish!!! -
Nice, love the winter reports!! -
yeah that screen looks great thank for the encouraging report, how was the debris/clarity? -
Nice looking fish, looks like stream brown! What type of jigs do you use? Thanks for report -
Nice job, great to see some Seneca reports! -
What a slob!! -
I guess squirrel teeth are insanely long and go into mandible, never knew that.... -
Got out for a few hours Saturday. Found some good screens along current breaks on a couple points on east side with hooks stacked up from the surface to 60 ft. Had 2 releases down 35ft but both came off, felt like salmon. Saw a salmon jumping near some bait which was pretty cool. Lots of debris/weeds where the fish were stacked up made it tough to troll through so I went down and trolled from the Tiki Bar up past the salt point, very little on the sonar but picked up one short salmon down 35ft on a "chicken wing" DW spoon (all 3 releases). At least I didn't get skunked and it was a nice December day to be out comfortably. Saw a couple other boats and some shore fisherman out enjoying the mild weather. The boat is in "Winter Mode" (did yearly service, pulled batteries, pulled fishing gear and covered in lift) so probably done till spring unless I get a really good weather window... Anyone else been doing anything on Seneca?
