perch predator

It already has a name CNY surf and turf. I know you don't eat them but it's a good name. A couple of years ago I got a doe in the morning and a LL in the afternoon.

The next day

pics and story tomorow

100 keeper perch with my honey on cayuga with my canoe. Thanks again travelin man.

6# test on skain on a fly rod

what a fight, and what a dinner

same on cayuga, the flow is killing me. Caught a 24" LL tonight,almost full spawn, on skain, in the lake. They are spawning in the lake. Pics later

The LL run Fall ck, salmon ck, t-falls ck, and the inlet, where they're stocked. I wouldn't waste much time at camp barton. The best time to fish that is during the smelt run. Fish the mouth with stickbaits. The LL are getting ready to run now,I saw 5 upstream yesterday, but I'de give it 2 more weeks. Use egg sacs, or bright streamers. They're my favorites because they're the most willing to bite during the spawn. Sometimes I even get out of the tree stand to fish them.

Is that in the finger lakes or should you try a trib or lake O section. LL's will run in 2 weeks from cayuga.

Love them from shore all winter. Lower than the LL's. About 25- 30' with small "tiny" bait. Jigs in May-June. Now the real monsters are heading towards the skinny fast water.

For trolling deep diving rattling shad raps for me, natural colors.

welcome back, and thanks soo much for your service. Sorry to here some jack a$$ stole your motor. Hopefully the fish gods strike him with lightning, and bless you with a limit of 12+ pound walleye. Enjoy your peaceful time on the water and realize it wouldn't be here without people like you.

Same stand I killed a nice 7pt at 7:20 am opening morning last year after I passed 2 does, and a 4pt. Well used trail along a creek bank with the only crossing for a 1/2 mile. plenty of fresh sign. Shoot straight, be safe, and good luck to all. Oh teah Tompkins county

Just thought I'de share, the other evening I saw a 3' female laker with 2 males trying to spawn in the mouth of t-falls creek in 4' of water. At first I thought she was a pike. Don't know why she was there but she was.

I would wait a month cause LT are spawning, and the BT and LL want to. They're being REALLY picky right now, but when they're done they ought to be hungry. Last night I saw hundreds of fish at the mouth of t-falls creek, but they are in spawn mode so they have lock jaw. It's torture to see that many fish with no takers. It's the same every year, but I still keep tryin, can't walk away from 15# BT swimin all over the place.

when i'm not fishing i do tree work.

Run north to the yaght club, and troll north to t-falls on the west side or center lake.

Been there, dress warm and fish scain or slowly bounce bucktails it's worth it.

Maybe the deeper fish are pre or post spawn and are activly feeding. Just a thought.

On cayuga you have to switch to egg sacs. Floating sacs 3' in front of a 1/2 oz slip sinker. You've got to be really fast though, three taps and they're gone. Hope this helps.

Fished t-falls park last night. I lost one at shore, and my buddy hooked 2 and lost them at the dock. I tried to land one for him and it spit the hook wich hooked me right next to my eye. I pulled it out before I realized what happened. Any way the fish were all over 25", and barely in casting range.

Trust in God, He will pll you through. My prayers are with you.

taughanac falls state park is my favorite. Try slip bobber and minnows, or white and red bucktail jigs. They've always been consistant for me. It's good from now till july. I'm there all winter so I'de be happy to show you the ropes and share some beers. good fishing

got into them last night. Caught 2x my limit in 3 hours. Culled and ended up with an average of about 11". Beautiful night on the water.

bt and ll are bigger on cayuga. But I'm bias. Learn them all, they're all fun.
