Cayuga Spring B&B Reel Obsession report

[rshubuck]

What a weekend Finally got the boat all back together with new toys installed We did not do any pre fishing but I had a plan and stuck with it. Steve, Josh, Paul and I launched at long point and set up in the fog right off the point and trolled north so I thought. I was setting up rods and and some tangles with the core but by the time I got that all fixed I checked on are progress N and found that we had already traveled a mile south In all fairness my Lowrance HDS 7 is still out for repairs. I stole my dads cheap hummingbird fish finder for depth. We also had my iphone with the Navionics It was a great day. It was one 8 pounder after another we pulled in. I lost caught of how many we pulled in but it was unreal. We landed 3 over 9lbs and also a 10.2oz laker. In the morning. Some how we managed to forget the ice while I was filling up my truck and boat with gas After josh weighed in we headed back out and nothing but small 4 to 5lb lakers with the the occasional 7 to 8lber. White bluedot spinny paired with blueddolphin fly, green spinny paired with proc, and some small spoon that I lost produced most of the fish Saturday. We must have landed over 30 lake trout Saturday alone. most were breaking 7 to 8 lbs. Its one of my better days on Cayuga as far as quality fish goes in numbers.

Sunday- Weather was completely different. South wind and overcast. Steve and I trolled out of longpoint to the west shore and produced some decent lakers. We then went back and picked up josh and paul and hit a few more laker and then nothing for a couple of hours. We were fishing new areas looking for the big ones and did not find them. We slowly trolled back to the North end into our honey whole and FISH ON! We were landing fish about every ten to fifteen minutes. Couple of doubles. Next we started to fish the outside of the honey zone on the way back and then Steve hooked up on the dipsy with 5th place 10lb laker. We had about twenty mins left so we trolled a little longer only to loose a dipsy on the wire. A fish hit it and then it broke off on the knot on the wire Not sure what happened but that never happened to me before. The hot stuff for today was AtTomMiks new Shocker spinny combo, Protroll white green dot paired with atommiks green white fly? and some other random spoons in green color. Both days we trolled 90 to 160ft down over 120 to 400+ FOW

Josh placed 3rd with 10.2 Lbs and Steve placed 5th with a 10lb Laker. Not bad at all for a 109 entrie tournament!

We had a great time. These lakers were fat. Josh's fish had a 7 to 8" brown trout in its stomach

Here are some pictures of this weekends trip. Condgrads to all who fished! WTG

You did Awsome Rob! To place two fish in a 5 place payout is great. I love the picture of the hot dogs grilling lol. There was another boat out that we though was you untill we passed it, I almost hit you on the radio to see if we could send a planerboard over and have you throw a few franks on there for us lol. The rocket launcher and kicker are a great addition to your ride. keep it up
