Hi all, One more week of muzzleloader hunting for me, still looking for a good buck. Not sure if this is the place to ask about Flordia fishing, Starting to plan a Flordia trip in middle February and I'm looking for a fishing charter within a few hours of Sarasota probably offshore. Anyone have any reccomendations?
Out of Braddocks today fished 9 30 - 12 30 went 1-3 one small king. Had 2 hits on the 300 copper first one broke the mono the other one came unbuttoned after a bit. Fished 90-170 fow.
Launched out of Hugh's today, fished 9 00- 1 30 managed 2 lakers and 1 shaker king. Plenty of marks in the 100-140 fow but could'nt get anything to hit. Headed for deeper water picked up the lakers in 140 shaker king was in 220, went out to 260 with a few marks there could'nt get anymore to hit.
Me and few buddies went out of Braddocks 9-30 to 2-00 started in 225 trolled north picked up 2 kings, biggest 8 lb. and a small steelhead in short time went out to 350 screen went blank out there came back in worked 300-200 fow could'nt buy another bite. Went in to 130 to troll laker water the last hour got 2 small lakers then picked up a nice 7.5 lb steelhead on the dypsie that put up a nice show. Fleas were a pain for us to. Finished 6-6 all spoon bite for us. Nice day on the water.
Its white. A 2001 so it has a little age but a lot newer than my 1980 16' I had. Its nice with more space and electric down riggers. I really like it so far, handles the big water much better!
Took my new to me starcraft fishmaster 1961 out on ontario for first time, boat ran great, fishing was good. Fished 9 00 to 2 00 in 120- 180 fow best was 130ish lots of marks and bait. 4 lakers, 5 shaker kings, 1 steelhead, 1 atlantic. Salmon and steelhead all came on sliding cheaters except 1 on dipsie. 45 degree down 90. Not many boats out.
Hit the ontario for first time this year went east out of I/bay, figured on getting some browns, set the first down rigger turned around to get second rigger then suddenly I hear the drag screaming on the first rod after a lively fight a nice king come to the boat! After that we had problems getting the hook set missing about 6 or 7 of the boards. Towards the end another nice one hit the rigger after some jumps and runs towards the boat and one of the wildest netting jobs i ever seen another nice king got in the boat. Every time you went to net him he would dive down and under boat, had to shut motor off couple times with line close to propeller. Spoons on the riggers bayrats on the boards. Fished in 8- 25 fow. Spring kings are awesome!
I fish the keuka lake outlet just down stream from the lake. ( Indian Pines Park) Spring when water warms up and after a good rain is best, after it gets dark. Night crawler on single hook 1/2 oz. sinker a foot above that.
Yeah I know, at this point work keeps me at home till 700 and again in the evening. I dream of someday hopefully fishing, and trolling Ontario before the sun is up!
Yeah we walked out from Lewis Point. Parking lot was almost full when we got there at 8:30 on a Tuesday. Not to bad of a walk, just walked out to where other tents were. Thinking of trying it myself again. Good luck!
Managed my first Oneida lake walleye. Wasn't a keeper but was nice to get one, also lost one at the hole few of my buddies also got one. Didn't hammer them but it was a learning experience and a fun day.
Thanks a lot for the info. I don't really know what the deal is by the college. It really sucks. I seen someone come out from there the other day. probably the worst thing that would happen is you get a notice on your windshield.
Thinking of going to Oneida for walleye tomorrow for the first time. Was wondering what for lures and techniques to use? Not looking for anyone's hot spots, just wondering how to get started. FOW to start? Just jigging or would it be worth setting tipups?
Yeah I don't know what in the world the deal is. We always used to go out from there. Went there last Thursday there was one guy out and there was a card on his windshield we didnt go out, ice didn't look the greatest. Went past Sunday stopped just to take a look there was 2 guys out both had a card on windshield. Today we went out from east side via permission, walked a mile down lake straight across from college 1 fish each, multiple lookers. 10-12 inch ice about 4 inch white ice. Going to try again in morning.
