Seneca Lake Trout Derby! 2024

[FASTEDDIE29]

Took the ride north to fish with Mikey and his dad for this one. A mutual bud booked a great house right on the lake. Scenery is always awesome in this neck of the woods. There were 8 of us in 4 different vessels. The grind was real when it came to finding a big fish to enter. We may have hooked one but it unfortunately spit the hook. Ouch! We fished all day Saturday, got caught in a storm. What a mess that turned out to be!? Ahhhhhg, it happens when the weather upstate is so unpredictable. We got swallowed by this front and wound up hiding in a cove with another house angler that was trying to avoid the big waves. Good times! Day 2 we grinded again but didn’t really find anything good til we got away from the crowds. Couple of really nice LL Salmon went in the box along with some Bows and Browns. Biggest fish we could find were around 5 lbs. This place has me thinking that there’s gotta be a local way of fishing to find the big ones. We trolled spoons both days with good action. I’m confident there’s another way to crack em’ on Seneca! We gotta figure this out. All in all a great time with some really awesome anglers. Here’s a few pics! TIGHT LINEZ!!!
