    Yes, I had run into a 35' ledge, decided to pull in riggers and quit, the ten color had been dead all day when it buried and it fought really well. I had the same angry alewife on it with a lighter floro leader. Huge lamprey on him too. Not much for fleas. The lake was almost glass when I left. Thank you Bobby, Finger Lakes Tackle rules!!

    Launched at Taughannock at 6:30. Headed North past boy scout camp. Tried a few different paddles and fly colors today. The fog took a long time to burn off and the water clarity was kinda light pea green. Figured glow might be easier for the fish to see. Rigger with glow dot and yellow green glow fly was on fire! Lots of big Lakers in the 6-9lb class. Caught 14 before 9:30. Trick was to bump bottom in 65-90' They couldn't take it! Had one nice shaker come off, but mostly the rigger with spoons was quiet. Got a bit North of Kidders and pulled the FF combo and decided to try a little faster and shallow (50'), I was rewarded with a nicely colored brown! As I am writing this I am fishing the chute and my rigger just popped with no one home:angry: Here are a couple pics, sorry hard to get decent photos out here solo. Oh, hot lure, FLT angry alewufe..

    With a heavy heart I must say that my 14yr old dog won't be tracking this year... I am looking to replace her but have not. This rage debate is great reading. I always like to hear opinions and learn about things on this site that you will not find anywhere else. Bow hunters are a different breed, there are many different styles of hunting and hunters. I don't know if many true traditionalists that shoot a rage out of their recurve or longbow, but if you have the latest bow and shoot a rage I wouldn't criticize ya. The season is approaching quickly so practice up and shoot the high angle shots. The best advice I ever got was to wait, wait wait for the best shot if it doesn't happen well he is still alive to hunt again, not wounded or wasted. Good luck guys where are the pics of the big boys everyone is after?? Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Oh that's not the grossest thing that has been on my kitchen table! Actually very clean doe tarsals with an intact bladder with urine. Surgically removed. Killed a few nice bucks by using them. I would say that moldy bread would make me cringe more if I saw it on my table! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Noticed a couple of small things, The moon was directly overhead at 1 pm and the Lakers coughed up mostly digested bait, think they ate really early and had a late lunch, lol! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Launched at Taughannock at noon. Headed north, really slow all the way to the boy scout camp so I picked up and cruised North a few miles. Dropped lines about a mile south of Kidders and the bottom in 80-90' was covered with Lakers. Dropped a SD down with a new fly made by Minion (blue UV) BAM, BAM. THANKS MAN! Had a steady pull for about an hour. Dipsy (mag) was slow but managed a few. Ran a rigger on each side with sliders, Orange and gold took multiple small lls, three bows and one huge LL that jumped right at the boat for an easy release:rolleyes: Ended up catching 7 Lakers, dropped 4 more, six salmon, three bows and zero browns. Never ran below 2.8 mostly 3.0-3.2. Riggers were 55 and 70, except when targeting the Lakers in 80' then dropped em till they hit bottom then a few feet up.. with blowback I'm sure I wasn't getting 40-55. Other lures that caught fish were FLT angry alewife green, mixed veggies scorpion size. Another key was the lead on the SD at about 30" tried other shorter leads the fish seemed to be a bit lazy. Nice day to be out solo, off the water by 5 pm. Sorry no pics, released all but a few Lakers that were nice eating size and one 24" bow, yummy!! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have used it with success on the fingers. Lately the bite has been so good I've gotten lazy and not wanted to clean lures after using it. So for me if the bite is slow I give it a try. I use the smelt scent. Also I am a big believer in fueling the boat after fishing, keep your hands clean or fish slimed n rinsed with lake water. Another technique I use is if a fish coughs up an alewife I keep it to rub on lures... Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Sounds like you had a great day! I would say that Cayuga has been producing very well over the past few years. As for the browns n bows don't be afraid to venture down the "chute" running 2.8-3.5 GPS sog. Dark colors, orange n gold, smaller' flutter' spoons. Its sometimes more about finding em. Don't worry, the Lakers will hit too at those faster speeds. A wire dipsy setup, 30lb stainless 7 strand with a mag dipsy and your favorite FF combo will sometimes out fish all your other rods.
