Thanks for the great tips guys. Decided to go up next weekend. Hopefully it will be a bit warmer.

Thanks for the info areyounuts. Should i use a slip bobber or a heavy sinker? Sounds like a great idea. My friend has a house located right on the lake about a 1.5 miles up from the Hammondsport marina. A few jd's with cola will be the perfect combo.

Thanks for the great info Ray. Hopefully I can trick a few into hitting.

Ray, thanks a bunch for the knowledge. Pretty funny comment on casting stickbaits, but i can withstand the abuse. With that in mind, would it be a good idea to throw little cleos and in-line spinners?

I have been visiting kueka lake now for about nine years with very little success in catching lakers. The primary reason for this is because I fish from shore with no access to a fishing boat. During the warmer months I catch my share of smallies with an occational pike mixed in and have decided to give early season lakers a shot. I'm gonna be headin up this weekend and will be stayin at a friends place in Hammondsport. Any tips on how to catch lakers from shore would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help,

Chris
