    Night trolling

    Hey Cody
    I have tried several times for walleye on Owasco at night with only 1 or 2 fish to show for my efforts. On Cayuga the trout seem to bite until about a half hour after sunset. We have stayed longer to see if they continue to bite in the dark, but the bite seems to shut down not too long after that half hour. Not saying they won't feed again in 4 hours or that the bite won't turn on again, but seems to be less likely they'll hit. On a side note, in 2014/15 Owasco froze over so that you could fish Lakers. The bite was intense during the day and you could fill a limit of Lakers quickly. I tried an overnight laker trip and couldn't get anything to go. Sun came up and we crushed them. That's ice fishing, so maybe open water is different. Good luck if you get out. Being on the lake at night is an awesome experience.

    Pike population has been declining like crazy from the bubble skin disease last 4 or 5 years. They should eventually bounce back but will be awhile. Some kind of parasite that gets in their skin and eventually kills them. They end up bobbing/floating around right before they die. They are suddenly very difficult to target. Does anyone know how bad the fleas are now in owasco? Are they at least manageable? I'm going down tomorrow regardless. Just trying to get a heads up. 


    Fished 2 days ago. Floating logs/debris were worst I’ve ever seen. Fleas not too bad. More worried about debris.
