Did our annual trip out of Barcelona last week. Thursday our of Barcelona, Friday out of Dunkirk. Lake was flipped, dead fish all over and no one we talked to nor either of our boats caught fish. Was very tough.

Landlocked was the 8.5 that got on the board

Great fishing this weekend. Happy to take first in the silvers division. Had a great time out there and was lucky to get on some nice fish.

Hello all This weekend I got my best brown trout, at 32” 17 lbs out of the big lake. Looking to get a skin mount done and seeing who in the CNY/South shore area does good work as this is a fish of a lifetime for me. I appreciate your input! Pics below for enjoyment!

Weeds were bad Saturday and Sunday on east side of lake near taughannock. Mostly fished west side just keep weeds of the line. Fleas were worse though

2015 Mercury 9.9 4-Stroke Series 9.9EH. 15” shaft. Used as a boat kicker for 20 foot trolling boat. Pull and electric start. Like new, Always serviced and stored inside during off-season. Very quiet, starts on first try and will run all day. Sips gas. More specs below. All fluids changed last service, just needs a gas hookup, a transom to mount to, and a lake to go on. Would work well on adjustable bracket on bigger boat without the need of a long shaft, that is how I used to run it. Price is $1750 firm. Located in Preble NY. https://www.nadaguides.com/Boats/2015/Mercury/9-9EH/32059297/Outboard-Motors

Haven’t made a report on the finger lakes page in a while and now that I’ve moved to the area full time I hope to be having more to report. Fished Owasco Saturday with my old man out of our fishmaster. Got setup with 6 lines out and as soon as I got all the lines out it was on. Had a steady pick of good size Lakers and a bomber rainbow with 1 small brown and Atlantic. Ended the day 12 for 17. Threw sticks and spoons on riggers, cores, and deep diving stickbaits. It was all working at a variety of depths. Made fish cakes 2 ways with the Lakers. Threw most of the back but smokin’ them is not the only way to go as far as I’m concerned!

I built my own rod trees with aluminum tubing and clamp on adjustable angle and position rod holders. Got a flanged base and mounted it. Also put on planer board masts on them. I used springs on the planer pulley and shock absorbers at the boards to not ware down the masts. Overall they work great you can move them all around in different angles and cost a way lot less than anything you could buy. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Go to Cayuga. All the lakers you could possibly ask for. We got about 40 last week in taughannock surrounding area Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks Brian. I have inlines, they pull great but can be cumbersome with 400 copper and a king on the line! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Stayed at Taughannock for our annual week at Cayuga. Fished cayuga Sunday to Wednesday and hit fair haven Thursday. At Cayuga we did about 70 fish in the 4 days we fished. The first three days were mostly lakers as we were fishing deeper water and moving all over the place. The last day my buddy and I wanted to change it up so we trolled some shallower water and caught a ton of silvers but all very small. We did get the grand slam though that day getting 2 rainbows, 2 lakers, 5-6 small LL’s, and about 15 browns. That was cool even if they were small. We stopped netting fish and taking pictures because we were catching so many in those 4 days with beautiful weather! Only kept some lakers the first day, about 7 of them and were catch and release the rest of the trip. Biggest fish were lakers around 9.5 pounds, and a lot of that size. Couldn’t break 10 pounds! Great time and great weather. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Little late on the post as I have been staying on Cayuga with bad service. Fished fair haven on 27Jun with my two buddies and hit the water around 7 after making the long trek up. We had just set the downriggers up and my buddy was letting a 10 color out when it start to pull hard and he looked at me and I’m like you’re right that’s a fish!! Anyway, the day followed suit and we limited out going 9 for 12. Mostly high teen Kings with some slightly smaller ones in there as well. We had 2 doubles which was hectic but a lot of fun. Everything was working, riggers, dipsys, and 400 copper ( ending breaking off my 400 copper due to bad condition which is my fault). Spoons, FF, meat all did it. This was my first limit as I am still learning the art of salmon fishing so I was pretty excited. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
