Any recent lake trout reports?
Nautitroller replied to Upstate Extremes Outdoors's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Welcome to LOU, Cayuga and Seneca both should be fishable. Mag dipsy with FF, bump bottom around 100' deep, or spoons in shallow, 50' they should be hungry. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
I'd say its not what it used to be, if shore fishing I'd try Taughannock. Wind looks to be forecasted out of the North I'd stop into KH recycle center and get bait fish a slip bobber and throw a krockodile. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

South wind at 10 mph will get some 2-3' white caps. If you have a smaller boat get there early run south n troll back North with the waves. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The TX have a pinch pad on the front and a spring loaded pin in the back. They can't come off but their pinch pad can release the line letting the board slide back torward the fish. Offshore tackle planer boards have a pin in the middle of the pinch pad not allowing it to release, sucks having to go back and get a board. Some of the older boards I have I put a large snap swivel on the back so it can't come off the line. Running different sized boards can give the lead core or copper different actions with different wave conditions. Sometimes my smallest TX is hot cause it gets pulled under a bit and gives the line a bit of a jerking action. Good luck! You may have a board release on a big fish if so when that board goes under and is pulling with the fish, no fun!! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What is your go to lake trout spoon?
Nautitroller replied to Greenhead's topic in Tackle and Techniques
To answer this is like trying to say which donut does a pig like the best. My experiments in the finger lakes have shown that there is a time and place for each technique to catch Lakers. During their peak feeding times anything will work just get em to see it. When the bite starts to slow paddles, sd and fly's bumping bottom changing speed sometimes is key. Changing your total presentation by running flutter spoons ( Suttons, Millers, Great lakes lures, flat fish ect.) and running slow 1.7-1.9 may be the key to triggering the full bellied fish. Then again somedays they are just done eating for a while. For me a go to spoon that I would say is one of my favorites is FLT's Bob Barker! Come on down greaser! maybe just cause the name is cool!

I was in Montana last year and met a ranch owner that has thousands of black Angus and runs a guide business for elk, deer. He said the wolves don't kill the elk to eat they wear the whole herd down by not letting them ruminate. Thus killing most of the herd. The guy was struggling to make a living and busted his butt as a rancher. I think I would be a bit upset if wolves were introduced on my ranch and I had no way to keep them in check. He pays a huge tax bill on his land but our controlling government stops him from managing it. Oh yea he loses a bunch of calves each year too.. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The best easiest way to connect a solid ring swivel is a simple loop with a half hitch, (surgeons knot.) Really simple and hasn't failed me yet. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wow that seems to go against I am doing now. I try to use up ( three trolling trips) gas and keep putting new in when it sits, making sure it's full. I use the fast trac non ethanol also. My motor is a four stroke newer 06. I can't see letting it sit empty with condensation on the interior of the tank.. Curious why your mechanic would recommend that? maybe he wants fresh fuel each time out? Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My buddy that went with me today asked why we didn't go for perch, I told him I wasn't a good enough fisherman to catch those smart little buggers! We did mark a few small fish in 45' that may have been perch! Just need to dial em in someday, can't seem to quit trolling! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice! We caught a two man limit of Lakers also. Lots of dinky salmon around Taughannock. One small bow in the mix too. Lost a really nice silver in 50' of water, took line off the ten color and managed to get off! Dang. Nice day for mid February! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
