uglyo... Thats a pretty common scenario... mop them up one day, come back the next and zippo... Lakers are weird anyway/// One day they hit anything, one day thent white next day green naext day they get lockjaw, and then its blitz again.. Like I said, if you can get out a lot, you'll hit a lot of lakers... just be rady for the days when they get lockjaw.. I have hit several days like that this year... bob

The laker fishing is good, but the best fishing is close to bottom in 50-80 in Seneca and cayuga..... Right now the majority of the lakers are tight to the bottom in Seneca and Cayuga on bait... Jiggers are loading up some days.. . There are always suspender lakers, but for the most part any lake trout is a naturally bottom oriented species... if you find an area where the thermocline intersects the bottom and there is bait around,you will find lakers... From what I gather this year, its all a matter of putting lots and lots of time in on the water... Some days are hot some are cold.. The guys that get out several times a week are catching consistantly because they are aware of daily changes in bait distribution, temp, thermocline depth. where fish are stationed in the water column etc... Guys that can get out only sporadically, [ like me!] are not doing as well, but are lucking into good days here and there... On the south end of Cayuga,this was far and away the worst spring I have ever had.. Last year was very bad also.... No Bass i caught in the lake and only 3 out of Fall Creek, 1 nice Pike in April, 1 11 inch stocker brown,and a carp in Fall Creek.. in about 25-30 hours of fishing from April to mid June.. I caught No rock bass perch, sunnies etc.. btw,Dead fish were floating everywhere this spring, at the south end of the lake. I and a friend were I walked the lake with on occassion were so appalled I called the DEC about it... They are aware of the many dead fish this spring and are checking many specimens they collected for VHS... They told me they got a LOT of calls this spring about dead fish in Cayuga.. From what I was told, we can expect an anouncement on what the reason for the dead fish is... anyway, there are plenty of lakers at Deans Cove south to Taughannock. and Seneca has been good certain days from Lodi notrthward, but most fish are on bottom... Find the bait with your FF and get your lures close to bottom.. You'll get lakers.. bob

IMHO, its time to shut down the smelt fishery in the Fingers... Why snatch up the few that are left for breeding stock???.. If we leave them alone for a few years, maybe enough of them will survive the lakers and we can get them back in good numbers..There are too many guys that would happily fry up the few that remain... I say, its time to try and get them back... Shut it down and see if the numbers rebound... bob
