Trolled my butt off. Didn't get anything. 30-50ft with lures from 15-30ft

Oldman. I just went by you trolling near the launch. I'm in a 16ft starcraft

Dammit this sounds like a good time. My girlfriend is killin me.

Unfortunately I have to bail as well. To much going on to make it out there after being out of town for a week. Ohhhh the joys of having a girlfriend. I'll make it up there this September when the fatties and getting caught.

It's ALL about the challenge!!!!

Fbg. That was me you saw I think. If you were with dean. We casted our butts off that night.

Trolled the last hour of light into first hour of dark lastnight and didn't get anything......

Here a big one I got from the bay a few years ago. Definitely over 15lbs. Very very fat and full of eggs. Great fight.

Didn't get out till 5am. Caught one pike on a tail dancer.

I'm heading out tonight from midnight till sun up. Plan on doing slot of casting.

Finally got out after a couple weeks of working on the boat and a busy schedule. Managed to put the first walleye in the new boat. Trolling a reef runner. Not to big. Probably around 4.5lbs. Felt great to finally get the stink off the boat. The new trolling motor works like a dream. It's do nice to just set it in a direction and forget about it while I set lines and do whatever. New fish finder is going on on Sunday. After that the boats almost complete. Tight lines!

When justin wrote that this thread was located in the finger lakes part of the forum.

I'm not sure that there are any localized walleye clubs in the area. I could be wrong tho.

I'm sure there is. I'll pass along any info I can.

Couldn't agree more! Btw to anyone who is interested the dec is going to be doing a state of the lake meeting for the western finger lakes this Monday in Lima. Meeting starts at 7 but at 6 there's going to be a meeting on contributing to angler diaries. Here is the link. http://www.dec.ny.gov/press/95586.html

I'm not trying to be a dick either but show me one lake that has alewife as the primary bait fish where walleyes are naturally reproducing. Then try and find one lake with Alewifes as the primary bait fish that doesn't have a natural bass, pike, sunfish or pickerel population. Also alewife might be low on the food chain. Definitely not bottom of the food chain but still they are open water planktivors. There habitat and the habitat of baby pike, bass, sunfish do not cross.

So why is it bass and pike need zero stocking? They have great reproduction in that lake. You stop stocking walleye and they will be gone in a few years, how many I don't know. Pike and tigers are not effecting the walleye population.
