Newbie needs advice. Please!
Frogger replied to Renrag's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Yea I’m with Brian, go after easiest fish to get your hands on. As a matter of fact break loose one day, (not sure of ages), get some worms, bobbers etc and get over to north end of Cayuga. Sunnies all day with a mix of bass. Kids would love it. If their older, and you think it’s under them, go for the lakers. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

What a grind.... I still think we didn’t place any fish this year because I never got a 2020 pin to put in my visor. Lol. Superstitious.....yep. So we ended with nothing bigger than 7.5 lbs with an avg size of 4-5 lbs. A total of 29 for the weekend, 75% of them on the gamblers in deep water. Slow moving. The rest were on copper wire on the shelf’s. My oldest son is a natural now with a pflueger. Wish I gave him more time and it wasn’t so windy. Couldn’t catch a fish on junk lines. Just too slow but I sure tried to get the Sutton’s to roll. Monday we only ended with two and I’d say we fished the hardest that day in the wind. What we had sat and sun was gone for Monday. As I mentioned before, lots of lampreys and scarred fish. We need those under control no doubt. Kudos to PA27 who always is into good fish. Also to MJ B. I think it was her first derby, Ron will have to correct me but sported a spot in Woman’s. Nice going. Also had a Brother who stood strong for a while but managed to stay in a spot in the men’s category the last day. I told myself I was going to relax a little more this derby, I think I accomplished that. Had a good cigar and put the auto pilot on. It was good chatting it up with other Lou members at the dock or seeing them out on the water. Roy Boys, as always thanks for the hospitality. Till next year.

Sounds good Nick, maybe see if there’s any interest in doing it the weekend prior vs the day prior. Might get the guys that are somewhat superstitious of catching a derby winner the day before. Just an idea. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I’m in agreement on the lamprey issue. I would say we would first have to agree there’s something wrong with population / size of lakers. It appears we’re missing a yrs class or two. I would like to hope it’s on the rebound and that stocking will make up the loss in the next 3-5 yrs with these 4-6 lbrs maturing to the 10+. I had plenty of lampreys in my boat with every other fish scared. I sure hope it’s high on the list to fix. If it’s not the lamprey, then it needs to be found out real soon. Personally I think the bait is a good thing. Rather have it than not. Look at Keuka. You won’t need Kings, plus it would create more of a dilemma with the fisheries and competition. Lakers will chomp every sawbelly they can grab. You just have to have them in the lake......... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I would say if it trailers good and is set up correctly you could just shorten them. Just have to do it carefully unwrapping the carpet so when your finished shortening the wood you can rewrap the end nicely and not have to redo the whole bunk. I wouldn’t leave it like that though, just my luck sorta of thing if you know what I mean. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yep Les. Patience will be key. With these temps, fish are all over the place. Don’t leave fish to find fish. If your not marking them find a new spot. Don’t overthink things. You guys know this. Good luck to everyone out there. Be safe. Should be good weather. I’ll be following that whaler out there....... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I’m in agreement on the 2 person min. It’s not about making anyone feel like there not good enough or experienced enough. We all have stories of the bad examples. We’re talking Lake Ontario I’m assuming. Might be a little different on the finger lakes, not that bad things can’t happen but your zone of safety is completely different than lake o. As far as other tournys like Bass typically Ive only participated in them where riders or non boaters were mandatory. PDFs were mandatory while running. And yes I wear my ignition kill switch when fishing alone when running. I think you have a good idea. Hope something comes from it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hats off to launch folks. They had there A game on today. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

You’ll be so surprised at the difference in actual ball depth to what your DF reads. I’m typically seeing a 8-15ft swing at times with 13lb weights depending on speed n currents. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
