Mike you sure have that boat dialed in! Totally pro! Seneca really turned on for the FLTA some huge boxes. Congratulations to Ketchum, and his 32-4 Box! Seemed like the bait started to scatter a bit and the fishing was epic. I was scared after talking to a guy at Deans cove Saturday that said he put in two five hour trolls on Seneca without moving a rod.... Congratulations again on your place and keeping the points lead, see you at Cayuga! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Super fishing , well done! love that area! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

After reading these comments, I must chime in my two cents. I have met Justin not on his boat but in a different situation. He is one of the few guys out there that cares more about sharing what he has learned than hoarding a few secrets so that he can catch all the fish for himself. He cares about the area he hunts and fishes. In no way should he have to feel an ounce of guilt for charging a few bucks to put some guys on fish. He surely is not making a profit. Giving is much better than receiving, and keeping with the tradition of this site we share information about fishing here and I believe Justin is a man of great character and a true sportsman that gets the details of fishing and hunting right. Not all of us have time to do that. Thus we owe him for all the info he shares. Thanks Justin! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Great fish Justin congratulations! Like the shirts too! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Brent, great job and congratulations on the win, believe I saw you in Mickey D's afterword, really like the rig you have. Looking forward to the competition in Seneca, watch out for Joe Joe! Mike think we tied my wife said doesn't that take a point off of Joe's total if you two tied?? Don't know but there must be a shuffle in the standings, lol!

Launched out of Taughannock Sunday to try and find some bigger fish, headed North and set up a shallow water program. Couldn't get three rods in and it was a bit of a frenzy just south of the boy scout camp. Two dinky salmon and a couple small Lakers. Headed toward Kidders and we keep hitting fish in any clear water we find just before a mud line. Lots of small salmon and Lakers around 2 lbs. So I decide to hit a spot on the east shore that produced a few bigger Lakers two weeks earlier. We hit 370' and mark a bunch of bait, rigger at 50' goes off and in comes a decent 7 lber before landing him the #1 dipsy goes and we have two 7 plus in the boat. Couple more circles and land three more of the same class fish. Overall we ended up with a high 20 number in the boat with quite a few drops, a few of them ripped some drag, probably the silvers we needed. The weigh in had some truly good looking LL, browns and bows. Congratulations to winners! We ended up middle of the pack with 21lb 5oz with three Lakers. Dam silver's, next time at Seneca! Looking forward to her! Everything took shots hot lures were purple alpha alewife FLT, and his custom paddle with uv fly on dipsy back 280. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Interesting take, my first trip this spring I didn't catch a Laker under 8lbs they were all huge, I released all but one ( caught 6). And the fish I have marked on my fish finder were huge! So yes I agree we shouldn't make the same mistakes but why can't the fish live together? Typically the eye is a shallow water fish, trout deep.. does the eye eat trout fry ? Probably, does the trout eat eye fry probably, I guess nature will balance itself without our intervention but I guess I am selfish and would like a lake that has great fishing for both species. I know I don't have the answer but i bet it falls somewhere between harvesting correct numbers and having the right amount of bait in the lake for all species.

I have heard that about alewife fed eyes that they tasted poor. My only point was that I think that both eyes and trout can thrive in that lake, already happens, but to stop stocking them because of a survey that's wrong,the decision should be more about a balance in the lake between bait fish and predator fish Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That makes no sense to me, the DEC thinks that all trout species and walleye can't thrive together in Owasco, that's ludicrous! Balance is key and a put and take fishery with walleye would balance that lake nicely. They already grow to epic sizes in Owasco, it would be nice if there were more for the dinner table. Dunno, just seems like our money goes to a fishery that is controlled by a governmental organization that really has no clue as to what is really going on or what fishermen want. Not the fault of the fishery guys just how information is turned into action and how our money from licenses works for us, or doesn't. The trout fishing is awesome there, the walleye are big but too few and far between. There should be an easier way to log fish caught in the fingers, how about an App.... DEC. I'm not a guy that will fill out a form and mail it or fax it, I'm sure many of us feel the same way. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

There must be some pretty successful natural reproduction for the eyes. Although it definitely needs an eye stocking program. Why did they quit stocking em? Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
