Seneca 7-30 & 31

[excavr]

Fished Seneca for the first time on Saturday. Launched from the State Park at 8:00 and trolled the east side to around Indian Creek.

We concentrated in the 150-200 FOW range with one DR at 65' and the other at 40' with spoons and sliders. Two dipseys with F&F one 225' and 185'. First dipsey got hit in 15 minutes and it was a real nice laker that shook off as we were getting the net ready. After that it was action packed until lunchtime. We boated 7 LL and 2 RT and lost several other fish. Most of the fish took the spoons on the DRs.

Pulled the lines out at 4:15 and headed back home. Not much action trolling north and we were tired of dealing with the weed pods.

We found a room to stay the night and tried our luck again on Sunday. This time we started on the west side heading south...same program as Saturday. Caught 2 LL within an hour and the wind picked and the lake hot a little rough for our 17'. The weeds and waves were making things difficult so we called it a day at 10:30.

Is there any way to predict were the weed pods will be concentrated before heading out?

We had a great time on Seneca and plan to fish there more often. We usually fish Canandaigua, but are growing tired of the traffic.

Can't wait to try our luck next weekend.
