Hey guys the association island area has always looked interesting to me for bass never been there though , trying to figure out if it would be a good place to try mid September for smallmouth , dont want to get blown off the water the whole trip but looks like there is some protected areas if you run towards Henderson harbor . Anybody familiar with the area know if it would it be a good place to stay for a few days bass fishing or are there better places back near the harbor or does the association island put you out closer to better fishing , thanks for any help .

I went with heavier tires and the price was really good , went from a imported kenda 6 ply to a Cooper 8 ply and they were 75.00 each, i wasnt having any trouble with old tires but they were weather checking on the sidewall

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 !!!

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 !!!!

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 !!!

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
