Jay and I met our Krenzer Marine tournament teammates Tim & Dan at the boat for one last troll on the lake before we pulled the boat for the season.  We headed over to the West side and set up and found lots of bait and tons of hooks on the screen.  We primarily worked the Taughannock area in anywhere from 80-350 FOW, but we did slide as far North as the Boy Scout camp at one point and then we even slid over to the East side for a bit later in the day.  It was a slow pick all day, but we still managed to boat a few Lakers although none of them were very big.  Our Wonderbread Spin Dr./Sigg's Wonderbread Superglow fly fished off of a diver out 210' on a #1 setting took fish for us today, as did a Green Spin Dr./Sigg's Green Apple and a White Spin Dr./Sigg's White Crinkle fly.  Divers took most of the fish today, but we did take on laker off of a rigger too.  While the fishing wasn't fast & furious, we still had a beautiful day on the water with some good company, so it was a really nice way to end our season.






After we got done fishing, Dan had to head home, but Tim stuck around all afternoon and helped us get the boat out of the water, load it on the trailer, winterize it, tow it up to the barn, and set it on blocks for the winter.  THANK YOU so much for your help today Tim!  I should mention that Tim owns Krenzer Marine up in Sodus Point and on top of being a great addition to the tournament team he's been a ton of help with the boat this year.  If ever you need anything boating related, I'd definitely suggest that you call or stop into Krenzer's and tell Tim that we sent you.  They're a bunch of really great folks up there and they'll go out of their way to make sure you're happy.

Well, that wraps up the lake fishing reports for the year.  I'll continue to post here as we work on the boat this fall and whenever I have the chance to get out fishing some of the local tributaries.  It's been an interesting year to say the least, and I'm already looking forward to being back up on Lake Ontario again next spring.  I hope you enjoyed this season's rants & ramblings; I certainly have enjoyed writing them and posting them here.  Be sure to stay tuned all winter long for updates on our status and the very latest in fishing gear and so on.

Until Next Time,
Fish On!!
