Hi there!

My name is Jason Martin. I grew up fishing the fingerlakes and last Saturday decided to try out the "Big Lake" after spending the memorial Day weekend trying to scrape up lakers for the trout-derby on Seneca lake. Launched at 6:30 pm out of Sodus Point and started trolling in 135 ft of water, then moved to 250 and trolled south until at 160 ft we hooked a king 40 ft down on a G-fly behind a silver flasher. Immediately he started jumping out of the water, ran 3 times before netting......WHAT A RUSH! Needless to say I'm now addicted!

My Dad just gave me his old boat (a 20 1/2 ft Renken w/ 2 electric Cannons and planer boards). I have a lot to invest in.....(Temp/speed sensor, etc)...but one piece at a time.

Name of the boat: I contemplated.....Divorced, Mistress, but settled on Zebedee....(He was James and John's father in the Bible....they left him in the boat whent they followed Christ).

I appreciate any tips or tricks and look forward to a long adventure of fishing and teaching my two girls how to fish.
