  1. The water was 74 degrees from the mouth, upstream 1 mile or so past captains cove yesterday. Didn't see any action at the mouth.
  2. I'm prepping the boat and gear to hit Cayuga with my Dad tomorrow morning.
  3. How was the fishing? I'm headed out tomorrow morning
  4. Thanks for the update. We went out this past weekend jigging and found the same thing. Decent water color for sure. Little fishing wise for us but should get better.
  5. Very cool pics. Thanks for sharing. What site do you find those on?
  6. Thanks for the report Lily. Hopefully it continues to clear this week.
  7. Any updates on the algae bloom this weekend? Any fishing reports? Looking to head there this coming weekend.
  8. I know they have a facebook page called Conesus lake Tuesday night working man tournaments. I haven't been in years, but I believe it's just show up, pay and fish.
  9. Does anyone have any links to webcams on Cayuga lake? I would like to follow them so I can save myself the hour and half drive to the lake if it's too rough for my small boat. Thanks.
  10. There was actually two kayak events on Cayuga this past weekend. You were allowed to enter both so there was some over lap but I would guess there was 150+ kayaks out there. When we do these event it is catch photograph and release like it was stated. We use standardized measuring boards and are given a code right before the event to include in the picture. The pics are submitted to an app that keeps and real time leaderboard. There was also a boat event that day going by weight, but they weigh em on the boat and video it and release them. It turned out to be an epic event on the kayak side. Largest turn out ever for the local club (NYKBF) with 94, and the regional event (Elite kayak fishing) had 106. The winner of the NYKBF event set a new record for the largest single day bag in NYS with a 100" bag of 5 fish.
  11. I agree with what has been said, 2D is sonar is all you need. I’m relatively new to jigging for lakers, and it didn’t take long to turn it in to video game fishing. Getting your settings right is key, but not difficult. Plenty of online info about it. You can clean up you pic pretty well, and the setting that I think is most important for jigging is chart speed. I run it as fast as it will go. This is a Helix 7 GN3, and you can see fish hugging the bottom and also chasing my jig.
  12. Sorry for the delay in posting my report. We did get out Sunday to fish, but didn’t have any luck. We went out of the park, and fished around the park, AES and also the west side north of the park. Most of this was new water to me. We did mark fish and bait all day. Had tons of chasers, but only a few hits we didn’t connect with. Maybe it was as bulletbob mentioned about lakers hitting and but not eating or maybe we just didn’t have what they wanted. Like I said this was new areas of the lake for me so it was good to check out new spots. The people I talked to back at the launch all had similar results, two boats were trolling and they didn’t get any, and one other boat that was jigging said they got one. Sounds like a slow day for most. Still good to be out on the water though. Bob you mentioned that your fishing elsewhere now and waiting for the lakers to be done spawning. When does the spawn wrap up generally? I know from fishing the Niagara river the season is closed October and November to protect the spawn. I assume they would be wrapping mid-November then?
  13. Dave, I can't speak for Bob or Chowder but when I read that I took it to mean he is marking fish, bait or both on his graph. In my limited experience, I've come to realize that most of the time you catch fish your marking something. Electronics do play a big part in fishing for the lakers.
