Trolling...for fishing reports

[Scott McKee]

I would assume many of you out there have been fishing for pike, walleye, bass, perch, salmon, browns, steelhead, lakers, crappie, compliments and mermaids, how about some fishing reports?  I'd bet our members who haven't been out too often are very interested in  reading how you've done.  Brag a little, and shove your success in our faces...  Seal the deal, and post a few pictures with your reports.  I'll troll for anything, I guess.  Has the catfish bite started yet in the tribs?

Scott...you keep trolling, you're bound to catch something...an old tire, shopping cart, Hefty largemouth trash bag (caught one of those once trolling).  One heck of a fight!

I took the 'yak to Cassdaga yesterday to play around getting panfish.  It's always good for a bunch.  They're on the small size, a pain to clean, but very tasty.  Worth it for me to go thru the trouble to clean.

One thing I did notice was that there were many, many more kayakers than I've ever seen.  Usually it's just the bird watchers but this time people fishing and just casual paddlers.  One stopped by me (he was as brand new 'yakking) to look at my kayak anchor setup.  He was local, I told him I was with Niagara Musky Assoc, gave him some kayaking tips & safety advice & he told me where the hot spot is for the muskies in Cassadaga.  He said they're ALWAYS in that haunt (lower lake, by the white house).  It's time to get the flies (and my arm) ready.

I'm at the ready to go again but my wife wants the vacuum cleaner fixed first.  It might be time to take the vacuum for a boat ride in the kayak.   If in your trolling, you snag into a vacuum cleaner, please don't return it to me.

Had an interesting day Sunday, landed 6 pike, nothing to brag about, but hooked 2 ski's, both of which i ended up loosing, one was in lake ontario, another in a near by waterbody, pretty wild too see 2 in one day in that area, i usually only hook 2-3 per year there.

I love the baits, Riley. Did you make them?  And if so, I am very interested in purchasing a few.

Went straight off the Catt to 56' Friday.  3 people, fished 4 hrs.  137 perch.  Here's just part of my share.  Biggest was a 14 incher (not pictured).  DEC helper was checking boat & trailer bottom for weeds when we brought in the boat.

Nice haul.  When's dinner?

[John Jarosz]

Where were you, Scott?  We waited 20 minutes for you to show before starting dinner.  When you didn't show up, we decided not to wait any longer & delved into the mild-tasting, deliciously crispy, crunchy, succulent, mouth-watering, without equal, Lake Erie perch, with a side of homemade crispy, slightly salty french fries (of course).  Oh, well, maybe next time.
