Traveling Circus

Thanks RodBuster........ I think we'll postpone.

I was considering a trip tomorrow (4/4) to Cayuga Lake (Dean's Cove) to jig for Lakers. Given the amount of rain the area got this week and the high lake level, I wondered if the launch would be OK to use and if the lake conditions (clarity and debris) would be good enough for a successful trip. It's an hour and a half drive, any info would be appreciated. Thanks.........

Ya, If I'm gonna start jigging with 1 lb. weights, I'm gonna have to spend more time in the gym first.

1st king of the season. Off Niagara county. We jigged for about 3 hours one afternoon in early May and this fish was the only taker.

The guy at the truck said 16,000. The more the merrier.

16,000 fingerling atlantics were stocked at the launch the other day. we boated one 22” atlantic out front today.

Sierra makes a .224 55gr. sbt in their Game King design that seems to provide good terminal performance at 22-250 velocities. It's also quite accurate..... at least in my weapons.

Maybe for 6 weeks....... half of September and all of October. So 15,000 are "roped" and 10,000 are "Tournament Coolered"..... and Tournament numbers are a drop in the bucket "when you look at what is stocked and what is naturally reproduced". Then the trib guys are roping a drop and a half........ We're all in this together Captain. It shouldn't be an us vs. them conversation.

Lots of interesting info about Lake Erie walleyes, perch, cisco, blue pike, smelt, emeralds.......

or, just go perch fishing.......

I'll take em........ pm to follow.

This may not enlighten you Cheesey, but it's my typical plan for walleyes on NY Lake Erie waters...... I live about 2 hours from NY waters of Lake Erie so a trip is into my pocket for in the neighborhood of $130 - $150..... gas, tolls, bait, launch fees. I'd go way more often and in "tougher conditions" if I lived closer. I usually wait until mid-July to seriously fish for Lake Erie walleyes, and the fishing out of Sturgeon Point, Catt creek, and Dunkirk is what appeals to me. July through September fishing out of one of these ports usually leads to limits. Before mid-July its tougher for me to consistently take limits, so I just wait for the deep water conditions to get good before making my trips. Riggers, planer lead core, and divers. Harnesses, worm burners, stickbaits, spoons. Whatever seems to be producing. I'm most interested in fillets in my freezer, and of course, enjoying the trips. I've dabbled with the early season night fishing at various ports, but it just isn't my preferred method. I'm sure there are a lot of guys who take early season fish in good numbers, and maybe they can give you better info on that fishery. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM.

I'd got some in lower Sandy years ago....... at night in the fall.

The above is also true for me...... Bombers short shallow (older ones), Smithwick Rattlin Rogues, jointed Rapalas...... probably in that order.
