Thanks for the advice! I took my dad out of taughannok this morning and fished north with Seth green rig, dipsy and downrigger and somehow skunked! I don’t know what I did wrong or if I fished the wrong depth as I did not mark many fish. With the Seth green rig I had to stay in 200 FOW so possibly I was too deep. My downrigger stayed at 60 and all my spoons were black/green with some stingers. I was glad to spend the time with my dad but too bad I couldn’t get him on some fish.

I have made some good memories so far with them until my hand slips off the handle and the weight takes off! They definitely make solo fishing interesting haha Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Haha makes since my boat is a 1969 Starcraft and I believe those downriggers were from an early owner! I have come close to replacing them but it’s my first boat and they haven’t failed me yet, this old boat really tells a story of all previous owners! I can’t wait until I grow out of this boat and can grow the history. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I was experimenting using sawbellies on my Seth green rig the other night and this was the prize! Thanks for the idea of night fishing with the light I will have to give it a try maybe it can help me out on Seneca! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Didn’t go out today after my previous luck I decided not to spend the $50 it’s a total bummer not doing it but I was trying to be realistic haha hopefully next year I can find some fish before the tourney Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Went out the whole day today on Seneca and was a total skunk. Fished shallow with a planer board and downriggers from peach orchard to Sampson. I don’t know if it’s the lake or my techniques but I should not have skunked in a trip like today. Good luck for all the tourney boys tomorrow and make sure your bring some patience haha Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I went out the other day for a half day a didn’t catch crap! But it was still pretty chilly water I hope the past warm days have drawn some fish out Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Heading over to Cayuga for a day this week. Seneca has been pretty dry, any advice on fishing out of deans cove? Where to troll or what to use? Any advice would be great thanks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I just bought two clamp on super ski reels and I am looking for two masts + bases for mounting my mast did not work. I am located in Watkins Glen. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Sad day today to find my first three round goby in my minnow trap in Seneca, I knew they would make their way over from Cayuga but it still sucks knowing that the fish are already being hurt by the amount of lampreys. I know they are a good food source on Cayuga but have seen that they can lead to mass die offs of fish. Should I report to DEC? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
That what it looks like but this is Seneca lake and to my knowledge there was no steelhead in this lake and the normal rainbows I catch have color this looks more like the other salmon I have caught in the past as it has no color, forked tail and small black specs Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Having a debate with a friend I said this is 100% am Atlantic salmon and he is confident that it is a rainbow. We are settling it the right way by having people vote on it. Help me prove him wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Just put my order in... hopefully being an owner of a gambler rig makes me start catching some hogs haha Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Trying to explore new techniques on Seneca/Cayuga and have come across the gambler rig and spin n glows has anyone used these rigs and had a positive turnout? I have seen many fishermen in the region have good luck but as know fish from Seneca are particularly picky. Haha Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
