I just learned that are PA fish comm. ramps are open but not sure about dcnr , but how is trailering your boat life sustaining
-
Does N.Y. have a stay at home order are you allowed to trailer boats , I'd like to trailer the boat up to the finger lakes but we have a stay at home order here in Pa. , wonder if PA or NY officials would pull me over .Looks like alot of you guys are still fishing any problems .
-
I used to have a hard time enjoying lakers but we use to freeze them for an extended time and man does that make them strong , we found if you cut most of the dark meat out and eat them fresh there as good as many other fish . If your really laker shy cut them in 2 '' squares and deep fry or pan fry with a good seasoned coating !! Now I'm wanting a laker for supper !!!

Cayuga Major theft in Aurora last night
chugbug replied to justtracytrolling's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Hope this doesn't get to be a problem up there , we stay at the old super 8 in Auburn and last time at a shady looking area in lansing called the trip motel , all went good but I was wondering what I would have left in the boat in the morning , so far never had a problem but its always on my mind !!!! -
Man your killing me !!! Im stuck down here in Northeast Pa its a hike to Dunkirk for me -
Man there nice looking fat eyes!!! way to go !!
-
I was hoping there was some land or bays offering some protection its at least a 5 hr. trip for me one way hate to get stuck on shore all day , is there alot of good fishing close to shore for eyes
-
sorry was talking about dunkirk
-
is any of the water near selkirk protected or does it get just as ruff as ontario , most pictures i see seem to show the shore in the back ground pretty close so maybe your not fishing to far off land and get some protection from the wind , would love to get out there and try it sometime .
-
yeah south of sheldrake was a mess all of my prop wash was green but then it cleared up sunday morning but the fish were kind of negative for us , we fished the Aurora area to south of sheldarke got two nice 27 to 28 inch lakers and a few smaller ones not what I would call real good fishing for us , there were fish everywhere we checked just not responding to the jig very well
-
Hey copperliner good to hear that your getting out after the lakers !!! Thanks for the info , and take care maybe i will see you on the water
-
Doesnt sound good !! it really shut down the fishing last year unless it was just a real slow bite that weekend and the algae didnt have anything to do with it , looks like this is going to be a every year occurrence , did anyone fishing last year notice that it hurt the fishing
-
Possibly heading up to Cayuga but I'm hearing the algae bloom might be starting and I don't want a repeat of the last time I fished during the bloom last year , can anyone confirm a bloom or is it still good , the last post by Capt Mark looks like all is well !!! but we are getting some real hot weather right now .
-
The algae bloom really messed things up last year when we were up to do some jigging probably one of the worst bites i have encountered on Cayuga hope that doesn't come back this year !!!

Cayuga Cayuga Lake Access/ Canandaigua dead fish
chugbug replied to jighead's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
the ramp in union springs was a honor system donation last time i was up and you will be fairly close to deep water and closer than the state park -
Dont know how your boat is set up but if you could get a hold of John Gaulke at the angling zone .com he could set you up on lakers with jigging techniques and he knows where the pike are also , I dont know who is doing charters for downrigging over there
-
flyrod downrigging now that would be exciting !!!!!! -
The thing that makes jigging so much fun is your fishing one on one with the fish on light tackle and seeing there movement and how they react to the jig and the biggest thing is your not dragging the fish in with the boat in gear .
-
Beautiful laker , did you notice if there were any fins clipped , with the colors I'm seeing its a good possibility its a wild fish not a stocked fish , all stocked fish are fin clipped in cayuga -
spoons , stickbaits , fly flasher dipsey rigs just to name a few
-
Bob im surprised with your outlook on jigging , I consistently out fish the trollers in are camp with numbers and size at least with lakers , jigging cant compete with trollers when it comes to salmon rainbows and browns we arent fishing in there temp. zone long enough to catch many although in the fall we get quite a few big bonus browns and rainbows when there plentiful .Back when Owasco was stocked with a ridiculous amount of lakers we had 25 fish days and have done it on cayuga too its so much fun seeing the jig and the fish and the chase and one on one when you hook up !!! Love it !!

you guys using twister tails arent you tipping them with some nighcrawler or minnow
