New to Lou

I've been watching and reading Lou a lot lately and finally figured out this site. I do a lot of trolling in Seneca mostly during the winter when it's to cold for anyone else and I venture up to lake O every once in a while. I fish out of a 93 bass tracker super 17 rigged with 2 down riggers and I do fairly well but will take any info that anyone has to offer. I fish for walleye's, landlocks, lakers, pike, and kings

Do you fish the south end of Seneca in the winter?

[burrows256]

Yes sir I start in Watkins and work north and 8 miles

[burrows256]

I think I remember seeing the boat I use to use a small northport troller out their all winter had 2 walker riggers and PVC triple trees on the front I was their every week

[burrows256]

Haha alright I remember seeing you around we will be back out again this winter we did well last season a couple 30" lakers along with some 8lbs landlocks

Haha on hell yes was right their with you on that the browns also were crazy last winter and some good ones to. I changed boats have a 18' center console now so can even fish the chop now where before the ripples became a concern. Did you ever fish the east side at all

[burrows256]

I haven't caught a brown yet out of there I love to catch them just haven't found them and those bigger boats are nice I know my 17' does great on windy days. And yeah I hit it a few times and just picked up a few small landlocks my favorite side it the mouth of the river and the west side that's where all my big fish out of that lake came from

What's the key to pick up the browns if you don't mind me asking

[Keep'n it Reel]

Right now the best bet for browns is to fish where the thermocline meets the bottom but they do wander as well. And during the winter you can throw temps out the window obviously. So fish the bait browns are aggressive feeders I got a lot on my 5 and 7 color lead cores but consistently for the bigger ones I got them in a 10 color. Black and purple, brown, red, white spoons all are good choices

Good deal I don't plan on fishing Seneca till late October but I may make a run soon before bow season starts in pa. I heard the water temps are all over the place right now
