So today was defiantly a day i should have stayed home may even have been better off going to work. Today had it's highlights but they were far and few. Started the day off by getting to the launch at about 730 on a friend of mines boat. He bought a rigged tracker targa and has been kind enough to take me fishing all summer because I have been boatless due to engine troubles on my thompson. Anyway we back boat in to the water untie and start heading out to the lake. We get just outside of the break wall and I notice my feat are getting wet. Look down and see we are taking g on water. So we make a.urgent about face and head back to the doc to get the boat on the trailer. Got boat out of the water and my buddy notices that he plugged the bait well drain instead of the main bilge drain. I can't help but laugh. He is older and put the plug in in the dark and you headed it picked the wrong hole. Anyway after sitting on land for a extra half hour or so waiting for the bilge to dry out we finally get under way and make a steam up to AES to set up. We get up the lake and I start.setting lines. I always set my divers out so I can rig the down riggers while they are deploying on there own. I didn't get passed the port side diver. As soon as it hit 240 on a number 1.5 I tighten the drag and wham fish on. Get the fish to the boat and net the fish with the help of my friend and we are in a pretty good mood. Looks like it's gonna be a good day. Anyway while we were netting the fish some how my rod tip got broke off. Never investigated the cause but it defiantly got broke. So at this point it is about 930 or so and we so far have almost sunk the boat and broke off 1 rod tip. I know it could always be worse right. Well it gets better. Anyway we spend the next 2 hrs or so washing lures through huge bait balls and pods of fish with nothing to show for it. Finally we say let's head across the lake. Tons of fished marked today over 100 to 240 ft down any where from about 40 ft of water to 70 ft. We fished a 6 rod spread 2 riggers at 70 and 60. 2 divers 1 at 240 and 1 at 180. Both on a 1.5 setting. And a 5 core and a 7 core. Flashers flus spoons tried every.thing fast slow north south just couldn't buy a bite. While trolling across the lake the highlight of the day the 7 core starts going drag is singing. After.a.good battle bring to the boat a 12 lbs lake trout. That's the last high light. Troll over to Kidders and Decide to run up to the market for a sandwich. This is where the day really goes to crap. Go up to the store and eat and then return to the boat. Fire up the main to shoot down the lake a little bit and wouldn't you know it it dies right out side of Omallys dock. Far enough out we really didn't want to paddle. Hey not to worry we got the trusty 9.9 mercruiser kicker Pull and pull and pull and pull. Nothing. The kicker has been running flawlessly all day. Not now that we need it. Well we finally get back to Omallys by way of a electric.trolling motor and dock the boat and ponder what our next plan is. All the boats tied to the dock were berry nice boats and I figured my chances of getting towed to Meyers where the truck and trailer are were slim to none. Any way I did get a ride with a guy and 2 woman who were doing wine tour. They saved the day for me and took me from Omallys all the way to Myers free of charge. I offered them money and they flat out refused said that they habe been stranded to and l ow how it feels. So to day went as follows Bad: Almost sunk boat Broke a fishing rod. Couldn't get anything to fire fishing wise. Have a dead main motor And have a dead kicker. Good:. Caught 2 fish Got to ride and a way fancier boat than I'll ever be able to afford and met some cool "Pleasure boaters" All and all I guess it was a good day but whew I can't wait to have my own boat. Good luck out there everyone. Stay safe and tight lines. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Both sides have been good lately for me. But I haven't been since the big rains and flooding. Last time I was.out I got in to some larger sized Lakers in 80 to 140 ft of water in the area of the yacht club. On the west side of the lake. The Lakers were around 80 ft down and salmon and rainbows were 20 to 40 ft. All over different water depths. Also from t falls to Shaldreke usally treats me pretty good. And Myers to the power.plant. hope this helps good luck. I'll be heading out Sunday Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Looking for advise on a new fish finder for.around 500 bucks. Any input apritiated I've always used hummingbird but not afraid to try something different. Just wondering what every one is using. Thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Absolutely the currents on Cayuga seem different over the past couple of years it seems to be a lot more east west drift than I remember. I used to frequently run 2 or 3 dipsys per side and have gone down to running just 1 due to tangles. I don't know maybe it is just me. Seems simpler to stack my riggers and run the 1 dipsey of each side. Still carry the extra diver rods but don't deploy them too often. I thought it was really strange to have the fishing pick up after the sun got high in the sky. The best fishing yesterday was from 10am untill about 1. Was really on fire then.

Fished out of Myers today. Started the day on a north troll on the west side of the lake. Early morning bite was slow. Finally.found the fish north of the boy scout camp and after that was pretty consistent picking of lake trout. Lots of fish in the 3 lbs range. 80 ft of water was the magic number. And a uv chartruce fly did most of the damage. As the day went on the fishing got better. Fished a 6 rod spread greens and blue were hot colors for flies. Mostly a rigger bite today with only a few fish on the diver rods. Had a awsome fight with a big rainbow that tail walked and came out of the water 3 or 4 times only to finally spit the hook. Put 15 Lakers in the boat and probably had close to that many fish shake off behind the boat. Good luck to all fishing in the tournament this weekend if should be a lot of fun.
