    Don't bother until we get a huge amount of rain. I've been fishing hard for 3 weeks. Nothing hooked and nothing seen. Go up north. I even wonder if there will be a decent run thus fall based on the lake fishing this year.

    Good luck.

    Cayuga 10/5

    I fished about 40 days on Cayuga this year. It was off in numbers and size. Normally I would get a nice brown every trip. I got 1 this year. I also only got 2 decent bows and about 10 decent salmon. I never took a laker over 10 lbs either. Believe me its off.

    Yup too early. If you want.an adventure, go out at dusk, set up around any point in 5 fow and anchor. Fish crawlers with mini marshmallows on the hook tip. Slip sinker rig. Toss em out and wait. When a school blows thru, all hell breaks loose! Stay out all night. Its a blast.

    Billy V Cayuga report Aug 18, 2012

    I was that other boat. Its has been happening a lot more frequently with the popularity of jigging increasing. I could have tossed that guy a sandwich and a beer. Just look around at the trollers line before you set up in the middle of it. As Bill said, I can cut to the outside but not the inside. We are riding the rail on that ridge. I have been forced in a few times in the last several weeks and that results on dragging all my gear on the bottom. Then I have to pull every rod and clean off the zebra mussels. The jigging guys can maneuver much more easily than we can. So just be courteous and look around for the trollers before setting up. I give you guys plenty of room when i come upon you all I ask is the same.

    Good post Bill.

    Blue Moon Cayuga report 8/18

    Well its no secret its been a slow pick for us most of the summer but Sat we finally had a great day. We caught fish from sun up until 1:30.

    100 fow north of AES was really hot until about 9:30 for lakers and then we headed north to the west side and got an a bunch of salmon but they tended to be 15 to 16 inchers. We headed down the west side about 11:00 and did a mixed bag of decent lakers and some more small salmon. Ended up the day by getting 3 more as we were pulling the rods to head in.

    I have been working 80 to 120 fow, using green and silver, black and silver and goby spoons. Park those spoons right on the bottom for lakers and 50 to 70 down for the salmon. Spinnys in white or green with white or blue big weenies took a lot of fish too. 300 copper and a 7 color core were dead all day!

    Good fishing to all!

    There is a pain free way to remove hooks right on board. Even real deep ones. Remove the lure, take a 3 ft piece of 50 lb mono and wrap it wound the bend of the hook. Make sure you have enough line to get a good grip on it. Push on the shank of the hook down on the skin and yank as hard as you CAN! the hook will pop right out with no damage or pain. Put a bandaid on and keep fishing. I have performed this procedure several times and can attest personally to the technique.

    My team fished 3 miles towards fairhaven on sat and 4 miles straight out for the first 3 hours on sun. We boxed out with browns on sat, 202 points. 11th place. After watching the weigh in on sat, I decided we needed a kicker fish. So we went out and got the 22lber about 8:30. Ran in and had 4 hours to box out on browns. 1 hour left to go and all we needed was 3, any size. Never got another fish. Finished 12th. If I went and.fished.my 200 point brown box on sun, we would have finished in 5 or 6th on the over all classic box. Captains decision. Its tough! AND I HAVENT FIshed OSWEGO IN A YEAR! No excuse guys not to enter. We did decent and just missed. I charter on Cayuga guys. No excuse not to enter a 4 man team. 3 days of fishing including all fees, gas lunch cost us 330 bucks a man.
