I'll be out of Seneca Lake state park. Channel 68 either on my boat (Zebedee) or my old man's (A-Bow-time).

[ray koziatek]

looks like i gotta take the gloves off tomorrow

[Zebedee]

I was 1st on Sat. with a 5.12 Landlock that came off the boards around 9:00 in 15 FOW on a Orangish Yo-Zuri stickbait. Pulled a couple 3 lb Browns and biggest laker has been 7 1/2

I was pulling some heftty lakers in a couple weeks ago...where are they now? today was tough. Got on the lake at 1:00 and was about 5/8 all lakers (biggest 5 1/2 lbs)

Good luck Ray and Erabbit on the board. Hit me up on 68. Maybe I'll see ya at the ceremony.

[Zebedee]

Well, looking at the list above :roll: I see I slipped to last place on the Landlock. Here's hoping for better fish tomorrow. Maybe I'll have to motor south and drop in Pegasus' wake and spy out Ray's hot spots :shock:

[ERABBIT]

Yep !!! Way to go Joe and anyone else from here that hit the board..............

[ray koziatek]

6:04 start we got to our spot late had a couple boats set up if front of us so we got in line .monday we hit the south end and rotted 3or 4 lakers and lost a nice top fish .hammer handle size on the lakers.did anybody do anything up north monday?(on seneca)

[Trolling Keuka]

We got as far north as Long Point. We spent all three days there. There were lots of boats Saturday and Sunday but only a few on Monday. We did ok but it was a lot better then previous years. We try to make it to Geneva for one day but not this year.

[Team Bling Sportfishing]

First off I wanna say I was glad to put some faces to the names here. Great to meet everyone we talked with. Second FLYS FLYS FLYS. We didnt place with any fish but we put enough on to keep busy all weekend. Also had enough beer and food for the next month. Well maybe just the food part. Anyway congrats to all who placed! We will see everyone next year! Team Bling Sportfishing and now AKA "ATOMMIK Justin"

[Zebedee]

We started in 15 FOW on High Banks and trolled south past Reeders Creek. At the creek a pink stick bait popped off and I look behind the boat to see some nice acrobatics. The old man takes the pole and gets him have way to the boat before his lips popped off! We caught about a dozen pike over the weekend in close like this. They smoked a few lures. We edged out and worked 80-100 FOW and were busy with Green Spindoctors and Green Flys and Green Dolphin Spoons. Biggest Monday was 6 lbs. I think we finished Monday 7/9

My 5.12 Landlock got edged off the board with a 5.19......guess I shoulda weighed it right away instead off letting it ride in the cooler. Nice job Mongo on the Brown! Congrats to everyone who made the board! what's next? Summer LOC I guess.

[jason]

we were catching fish on everything we had, from spoons to flys. no one particular color. big weenie protogist, gynocologist, no see um green glow. spoon colors were blues, greens, purple, candy corns.

[ERABBIT]

Saturday: on water at 7:15am first fish on rigger down 60' back 10' on a fly rig over 220' of water 4#+ brown trout. Same rigger picked up a 25" laker over 100' of water and the 6.42# brown working a shaol. Inline board took two pike 100' back small spoon first spoon was ruin by pike it was white cup grey back lined with black with a eye.........replaced with one close to that one that took the next pike. The 3 color core took a rip but we lost that fish also a small spoon. Picked up a dink laker on down rigger down 72' back 15' on a fly. We picked the bigger brown up and headed off the water to weight it in at 11:30 am. Back out at 4:15 pm and all we picked up was a small laker off the same 60' rig above.

Sunday: Ran across lake and south of where Ray was launching set up by 7:30 am nothing going for us had a good screen lots of bait but could not get any thing to fire did foul hook one small laker bringing up a deep rigger fly rig. Pulled riggers and worked to top with two inline boards and the core + one flat line down the prop-wash. Worked from 20' out to 80'. Saw some marks in and around the 72' and wind was down so we gave the jigging a go for a while. I lost 4 or so and landed one 23" for the table , my crew missed two each or more then the sun had us beat up so we went in about 2:30 now. Didn't go back out later just put took care of the sunburn....

Monday: On the water and set up by 6:15 am working the east shore running some meat head on the inlines and core. Switched out the two fly riggs that have been near dead the past two days and dropped down dodger-peanut rigs. We picked up 4 lakers off these rigs down 92' back 15' and lost three none of any size. That was about it for us we came in just around noonish.
