I'm out now, weeds are biting!

I'm out now, weeds are biting!

Sounds like I can leave the copper and leadcore home. 5 leader rigs tolerate the weeds better. Especially on the planer boards, they seem to cut right thru weed pods. How bad are the weeds? Are you north end or south?

[alex1young]

I fished all over and spent the day clearing weeds. A few small lakers and decent bows.

[Great Lakes Lure Maker]

Well scratch that idea for us. Just tried to register over the phone, but they won't take registration by phone. Has to be in person by 6 tonight. 3 of the 5 of us are at work, so that's not possible. I guess we will know better next time...

[On the Hook]

I am out as well as I can't make it up there by 6 to register either. Good Luck to everyone as it looks to be great weather.

Fishstix is in.I dont like hearing about the weeds  Hope to end our derby slump. We will be on ch68.  My plan is to start on the south end ,troll to the north end ,then troll back.Makes for  a great day. I love Owasco. Good luck to all.

[Reelfanatic]

Ill be there. My buddy drove up today to register. Hope to see some action and nice fish on the board. Good luck everyone! Ill be in the islander.

[alex1young]

That's one of the many weed pods we encountered.

[Reelfanatic]

Eww.. Near shore or still that slick down middle? Need good blow to clean it up.

Awful day of fishing. Nice day to be out but not much action for me. Washed just about everything and got one laker around 6lbs. Released right after. Called it a day around 3. Back at dock, some slob brings bucket to look at board, decides his lakers wont make cut and throws them belly up in water next to launch. Lost my **** on him in front of marina owner. People are disgusting.

Makes me sick to my stomach to hear that.  It's so sad that some people just have no respect for nature; we are so lucky to have the resource and a nice lake to fish on.  Thanks much for calling him out, this kind of crap just isn't acceptable.  I am hoping that Jack won't take his entry form next year.

 

Had a rough day out there as well, was wondering if I forgot to put hooks on the line.  Hopefully will do some catching tomorrow.

 

Tight lines!

Stuff like this gives us fishermen a bad name.  Thanks for saying something to him!  Most would turn their cheek.

That's the only problem with Derby's...a lot of fish get killed that normally wouldn't...you can't fix stupid though

Jack made him go out in the water and retrieve the fish. Sad people treat our resource like that. Had a fun day on the water though even though it was one of my toughest days on that lake. Anyone else do good?

For you finger lakes guys that have to battle weeds and prefer to run big boards, but can't take the fire drill that happens when you run a big board into a mat...the keels I designed for my otters are weedless and something you can make yourself. I ran them several times now and haven't had to bring them in 1 time to clear weeds off them.

We encountered some not so friendly anglers too, wonder if it was the same guys...

Anyway, we fished hard and couldn't get anything decent Saturday or today. Friday night was a different story and landed many bows including the one below. Sadly couldn't revive her after an amazing battle. 8lbs, 28 inches. All other fish released unharmed.

That is one heck of a nice rainbow Alex As always timing  in life is not under our control but catching a beauty like that is a great experience no matter when it happens.

[Reelfanatic]

Thats a great fish! Nice job!

[Iron Duke]
