I fished tigers pretty hard this weekend with a family I had last year for the first time in over a month, and though I had heard many good casting reports lately I have been fishing eyes. Otisco definitely didn't disappoint! We didn't land many but had plenty of action. Biggest fish was a mid forties on a jerkbait caught by an 8 yr old. If you are a caster and you haven't been here the last couple weeks you prob should get out there. Many reports of high quality fish being caught on a daily basis. Anyone wanting info is welcome to pm me

Lake O lake trout table quality?
justtracytrolling replied to youp50's topic in Open Lake Discussion
There are plenty of waters with no restrictions other than the general guidelines...those Adirondack waters are among the worst to harvest fish from. -

justtracytrolling replied to youp50's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I'm aware of all of those factors....I carefully remove all fat and belly meat myself....and eat a ton of fish...I eat a salmon or 2 and a steelhead every year but beyond that there are better places to harvest fish from! -
Lake O lake trout table quality?

If you read the NYSDEC health advisories you shouldn't be feeding any fish out of lake Ontario to your family....of course someone will say I eat them and I'm fine...but I'm not interested... -
Do you have the drift paddle for your power pole? That will let you control your speed well....there is a downrigger attachment too if you wanted to get 1 line down out your way 8-10 feet. Cable steer tms don't work to well to troll...if you were gonna do this very much I'd get a detachable tm mount and an electric steer for trolling

Owasco derby this weekend
justtracytrolling replied to Great Lakes Lure Maker's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
For you finger lakes guys that have to battle weeds and prefer to run big boards, but can't take the fire drill that happens when you run a big board into a mat...the keels I designed for my otters are weedless and something you can make yourself. I ran them several times now and haven't had to bring them in 1 time to clear weeds off them. -
Adirondack tigers

The alewives are in full lakewide every night and day trolling is tough! Finding numbers of big fish at night is doable...catching them is like unicorn hunting many nights...but I'm hooked on the challenge...☺ As far as creel surveys go tell em next time to start checking the right boats! Walleye are not elusive in Oneida!

Nice work! That program has worked well every time hasn't it? Tough here and then some!

Check out the post in the walleye section. Major format change this year...we will be scoring browns, smallmouth, tigers, and of course walleye. This is a catch and release event except for the walleye....

I have decided to change the format for this event to increase participation and make it more interesting. The new format will be a catch and release multi species team tourney. Dates 7/23 and 7/24 Fish either day or both $30 per boat. Tournament hours are 12am 7/23 thru 2pm 7/24. Cookout after I'll provide burgers, dogs, soda, and water. Each team can score their longest fish of each of the following species: smallmouth bass, tiger musky, walleye, and brown trout. 1 point for every inch or part of an inch except tigers where we will use half the fishes length. All scored fish must be of legal size. All fish except walleye must be released to score. A pic on a bump board for each fish. Add the points from your four fish and that's your score. We could have big fish for each also. I really like the idea of more to fish for than walleye, as they can be brutally tough to get. I also felt we had to open up hours as trolling at night can be far more effective with a lot less gear and moon will be nearly full.
