Seneca 7/30/2012

Been awhile good to get back out on the water..............tad late ( Kinger slept in...... ) start ran south and to the west side................set up and picked a small rainbow up 8" to 10" down 61' .........same rod later down 71' picked up a 15" rainbow .......... 71' same spoon then later a 20.5" brown just over 5# boxed him............... then two lakers one at 71' and the other at 81' UV spoon by DW... 22" 3.5# and 24" 4 #.........boxed them and called it a day................... broke a rod on the first fish , lost three and some how split/ring and hook came off one of the spoons again...........geeesssshhhh some weird stuff this year.................only me I guess.............

What a day !!!!!!  After Ron came over we went down to give it a go I was getting rods out spoons ready then I took the tie out and hung it on the CC ..........Ron said  " What the heck is that thing you going all supertisous (sp?) on me or what " , then I told him the story.................I think he's out buying a TIE now !!!!!!!...............

Quick run down pictures to come..................

We ran south watching the weeds as we went didn't look REEL bad so after a bout 5 to 6 miles we set up going south..........that didn't last more than a 1/2 mile ran into thicker weeds so spund around and went north..........picked up two short browns , then banged a big smallmouth, three lakers lost some thing GOOD fish we never saw picked a 5+ # brown, boxed a thrid laker , lost a HUGE brown at the back of the boat and boxed another brown around 20" was in the weeds again so we just pulled last line and called it a day............... mix of spoons but UV was hot after the sun w{1}****oday , 71' for the lakers and the last brown , 51' for the 5# brown , 61' for some small browns that big smallmouth and the huge brown ........all spoons , all rigger only three rods........lazy for sure !!!!!!! .......but it was fun..............

Thanks guys.......they TIE ROCKED today first fish was a HOG !!!!!!

Seneca 8/21/2012

Kinger and I got a good start today boat ran GOOD ……we ran up to the clean water we found yesterday started DEEP and worked in to rut out some browns. The area was somewhat weedier than yesterday but fishable. We had some marks and bait but could not get them to fire then after the third spoon change BUBBA ( 24” male just over 8#) hit great fight and somewhat iffy wheather I could get him in the net. What a hog , bleeding from taking the spoon deep so I boxed him……….worked the area for three more passes picked a small 18” bow up put him back and lost a good brown came in to fast and he went crazy at the boat in the air two times with the second on the charm for him last pass came up empty and I still want to look for some landlocks so I move on…….picked up two lakers and a small brown after that to two hits without hooking up……. King said it was WAY past time to quit so I did……………..LOL…….. Big brown was WAY out of temp in the soup at 73* down 41’ !!!!!!!
The tie still ROCKS !!!!!

Thanks Guys the tie has been GOOD to me for sure.............. Got Hoot back out today we fished from 7ish ( lines in the water ) to 12:30ish .......... we were putting back 4 and 5 pound lakers.......because we had more in the box than we wanted already..........LOL.......  ( Oh Pete is still looking for HIS 4# laker )

Seneca 8/23/2012

Hoot , Kinger and I got down to the launch at 6:45 am went across to the west side looking for salmon set up and troller north…………..picked up one bow , one small salmon and 6 lakers……….. went across to east side and set up and trolled south ……. Picked up 4 lakers and three browns……………grandslam BUT salmon was short !!!!!!........... DW UV spoon still going great in the sun…………three of Bobs spoons put fish in the boat again today………never ran back thru a spot all day fish had the feed bag on !!!!! got fish at 41’,51’,61’,71’, 80’ ,102’………bigger lakers on the west side were deep……..the TIE ROCKED again today !!!!!!!
