Last night I asked my boys what they wanted to do on their last night of summer vacation and they said that they wanted to go trolling with Mom & Dad. Cool! So after dinner we went down to the lake and trolled for about an hour in front of Taughannock. We found lots of bait & hooks in 275-350 FOW and boated a few lakers and lost a couple more. We didn't have a bite on our riggers, but after pullinglines at 7:30pm I found that all of them had weeds on them, so thatexplains why.

Our Walker Deeper Divers out 250 & 275 on #2 settings took all of our fish. They were pulling a white double crush glow Spin Dr./Glow Ghost Sigg's Rigs fly and a green double crush glow Spin Dr./Sigg's RigsGreen Hypnotist fly. We didn't have a bite below 2.3mph on our Depth Raider, so they wanted it fairly fast last night. My wife even got in on the action:



William and Ben each landed a pretty healthy Laker and were all smiles at the end of the night. William's Laker was pretty fat and put up areal good fight (for a Laker ).    We put all of them back so that someone else can enjoy catching them too.





We're headed out of town for a few days so we won't be out fishing again for over a week, but we'll try to get out a couple more times before we pull the boat for the season.  Stay tuned for more family fishing reports!

Until Next Time,
Fish On!!
