Made it out to Ithaca around 9:00 wed morning. Whitecaps in the canal. Drove up to south end of Owasco. Water very cold, 36 in main lake. Found some 42 degree water shallow. 1 25" pike , 5 lb brown and a 20" salmon early release at the boat. Chartruse needlefish best lure. Went back down to Tremain on thursday. Worked the flats. Water temp 42 was best. 2 salmon , 23" biggest , 5 browns up to 24". Flo orange stick baits off of boards worked best. All fish taken under 30' water. Was a fun trip. Thanks for all the help. Ray K was right about 41 degree top water bite. It ws also nice to meet RustyRat thursday morning. Only bad part of trip was all fish over 20" had large lamprey marks. Includes the brown from Owasco. I will post some pics later. See you all around memorial day.
Also lost nice salmon that took appx 100' of line off reel, 4 jumps 3-4 ' out of water. Hook on treble streightened.
