Fished out of Watkins this morning with my girlfriend her son and my boy.. Setup shop right out front near break wall worked toward the west side..Ran coppers cores and dipsys.... Started putting the leadcores out but just couldnt get that accomplished for the first 45 mins the fish were smacking the spoons as soon as I got them set but the boys had a blast reeling them in as fast as I could hand the rods to them , we were getting browns and salmon left and right with a few pushing 4 to 5 lbs and also picked up a 15 inch rainbow in the mix.... Then the Dipsy fires with a 6 lb laker that put up a fight for the girlfriend but she did a great job getting it to the boat, Grand Slam !!!!!! The fishing stayed great all morning and the boys were tuckerd out by 11 so we headed in... Finger lakes tackle spoons were on FIRE today!!!! Big Weenie Filthy Frankie produced the Laker... Think we ended up 18 for 19 today with all fish released to fight another day.. Heres a few pics from todays trip

Nothing like a family outing on the pond and scoring big   Good going!

It's good to see that you're in to the fish.

I have 2 questions. 1) Did you check the rainbow for fin clips? The ones that were stocked last year in Catherine Creek have a left ventral fin clip.  If anglers are picking these up, DEC needs to know so they can evaluate stocking success. 2) I really hope  that your keeping a diary, if not, why not?

[Iron Duke]

Thanks guys!!!! Bigfoot I fish many tourneys through the year and one of the guys who fishes with us keeps an extensive DEC diary for our boat, but as far as every trip fishing I do not..The Rainbow I was in a hurry to get it back in as fast as I could so I did not notice...

I'm all for a diary program, but sometimes its a pain in the butt... We did it for a few years. I worry more about returning those chrome beauties. And I have a theory that last year wasn't the first year they stocked the trib in seneca..
