Not seeing much so far this morning. Thinking about getting down and eating an early lunch on a log to see if it turns my luck around! Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Looking at your arrow and a slightly quartering away shot, i would say you hit just behind the shoulder with the entry, and hit the opposite shoulder blade (and as he took off he broke the arrow off with his shoulder on the entry side). Looks like you got lung, and even better the arrow was still in there doing damage. I agree that he's dead, but take your time!

I'm sure there are a number of people on here that would be willing to cover the stand for you!

I'm with you on this one! It's a good sit if i see a deer or two. Can't blame the farmers for protecting their crops, but the damage permits have really killed the deer population around me.

Les - you're telling me! Four kids 6 and under sure keeps me busy, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! Good luck to everyone this morning, feels like a great morning! Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well we had an exciting hunt tonight! 7 doe, 2 small bucks and a 2 1/2 year old 8 point. Then right before dark we had a bear come through at 40 yards. I think its save to say she's hooked! Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Took my daughter out tonight for her first sit ever! Hoping to see something, but I don't have high hopes since she's so excited that she can't sit still or be quiet [emoji23] Oh well, it's all part of the experience! Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sorry, not heading up until Saturday, but let us know how you do! We cant decide if we want to launch from Dean's or T-Falls Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I would try posting in the Finger Lakes thread, there are a lot of people on that thread that fish Cayuga.

Thanks for the replies. I guess my thinking was that you would feel a laker doing it's typical headshake, but i hadn't thought about the fact that it could have been foul hooked. We will never know, but that is one of the things i love about the finger lakes is that there is always that mystery! Can't wait to get back out there.

Had an awesome day of jigging today. Launched at Dean's at 5:30 this morning and ran straight across the lake to what I think people refer to as Aurora? 5 minutes in we landed our first laker and it was a steady pick of lakers from 5:45 - 8:00. Ended the trip around 10:30 with 21 fish landed. 20 lakers from 24" - 31", and a nice brown. Around 9:30 I believe my brother hooked into a sturgeon. We had our drags set fairly tight, and it peeled almost 100 yards of line off the bait caster with its initial run. Got to the point where we had to chase it with the trolling motor before it spooled him. Thank you to the guy trolling solo that was gracious enough to pull everything in as we let him know we had one running towards the back of his boat. Unfortunately after a 6 or 7 minute fight, he broke off at the leader. Anybody else think it was a sturgeon, or something else? No head shakes, just a strong steady peel of drag. Anyways, it was a great day on the lake. 50-70 fow was where we caught most, with 60fow being the sweet spot. Lunkerr City chartreuse paddletails and white w/ chartreuse paddle were hot today.

Thank you! I will add a report after we get off the water tomorrow.

Thanks everone for the advice! Les - Should I be worried about fleas on braid even with jigging, or is that more so a concern while trolling? If so, we will bring some reels with mono just in case. Sent from my SM-A505U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
