Fish Finders and 9/11/11 on Seneca

[bkf5012]

First off, did anyone have any luck on Sunday morning? We went out from 6:30 until 10. We left out of Watkins Glenn and trolled east past the falls, then across the lake and south starting about 1 mile above the salt plant, and didn't catch a thing other then a willow tree and bottom. We ran 5 rods the entire time. Two down riggers, we moved them around from 90 foot to 40 foot, a copper line, and two dipsys one 0 and one 1 size. We ran every fly flasher combo you can think of, and all kinds of spoons. Starting to get discouraged. We had a little luck the last time catching two in about 4 hours. I thought we were starting to get things under control, but now I'm not so sure again.

The next question is, does anyone have some good suggestions for fish finders. We have one but it doesn't do a great job. We are looking to spend 600 dollars total between a fish finder that will tell us our speed and depth of fish, and one of those things you attach to your ball to see down speed and find the thermocline.

Thanks for any responses.

Don't get discouraged...fish had lock-jaw on Cayuga as well.

Full moon can make for poor morning bite, fish on Canandaigua Lake turned on after 10:00 am Sunday morning, we were still catching them after 1:00 pm, just a thought.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about the bite. I had been doing pretty well at the end of Aug and then on my last 2 outings have only picked up a few fish. Last week I got one rainbow after 2.5 hrs and then today got one laker down 35ft and that was it. Hopefully things will heat back up as temps cool down.
