Canandaigua has been tough this summer, Mike. I wouldn't give up on it yet though. Things are a little late this year so mid to later October and early November could be good. Wednesday was one beautiful afternoon on the lake though!

Got out for a couple hours each day, late afternoon. Fish weren't biting, but the good news is that the fleas and grass were not bad. Fleas that I did get were the lighter colored variety that could be flicked easily. I marked pretty good with bait and fish, mostly at the 60 foot depth over 60 to 100 fow. Fished from the pump house down to Tichenor and a little farther south, mostly west side. Good marks right off the point at Tichenor. Not sure what the approaching cold front and winds will do for the weekend fishing. Hopefully things will settle down for the FLTA group on Sunday. Good luck to all! Reminder - the Seager Marine Tournament on Saturday (10/4) has been canceled.

Hi Les. I was out yesterday and today and the fleas and grass weren't bad at all. The fish were there but they sure didn't like anything I had to offer. I think it's just a matter of time. Art and I plan to discuss a reschedule tomorrow. I like this time of year on the lake as well - but same as you, I don't hunt anymore. I'll keep things posted here. Have a safe trip! Ted

Sorry - but the Seager Marine Fall Fishing Tournament has been canceled. There were very few entries received and Saturday's weather doesn't look promising for same-day sign-ups. Good luck to those fishing the FLTA tournament on Sunday!

One more thing on the tournament - you can stop in the marina to register if you're in the area or you can call in your information and provide a credit card number.

Nice summary Jason. Just one correction - all occupants of a boat must be registered. Rule #2 states this. This helps all the registrants as it builds the prize money which is returned to the winners. Hopefully it'll be as nice as this weekend!!

I guess jigging could be a good option, Les. Have a safe trip out west and good luck on the tuna if you get out. I sure hope the fishing will be good here when you get back too! Be safe!

Got out for a couple hours each day. Started in front of the pump house on Wednesday and had a clean screen so we picked up and headed right to Tichenor. Marked some good fish right off the point in 60-70 fow near the bottom. Just kept at them and finally got a 20'' laker to hit on a Yozuri stick bait. That was all we could do. Didn't have much time today so I stayed right near the pump house. There were some good bait pods and a few fish in that 60 foot range in 60 - 80 fow but they had lock jaw. Fleas are still pretty bad. Surface temp is at 66. Hoping that cooler nights will bring that down and clear the fleas as well. I should get out again next week so I can let folks know what's happening so they can get ready for the Seager Marine tournament on Oct 4th!

Tried again for a couple hours this afternoon from 4 - 6. I stayed in front of the pump house and trolled east - west. Marked some bait and fish and picked up 2 quick lakers right after I started. First one was 3# or so and the 2nd one was 9#. He really wanted to stay down there! Only used riggers and fish hit with 60' of cable. Both were on FLT spoons, the Wonderbread and the Bright N Early. Fleas are still really bad. Beautiful late afternoon on the water though.

Got out for a couple hours this afternoon and saw the same as you, Les. I stayed north and saw fish and bait here and there, mostly at 40 feet over 70 to 100 fow. Lots of the moss green fleas, even on cables. The wind had let up so that was nice, but the fish didn't cooperate at all! Hoping to get out again later this week. Sure hope things pick up for the Seager Marine tournament on October 4th, but we have divisions for perch and bass as well as trout, so at least there are alternatives!

Seager Marine is hosting a Fall Fishing Tournament on Saturday, October 4, 2014. There will be 3 divisions (trout, perch, and bass). Top weight in each division will win a $100 gift card from Seager Marine plus 1/3 the proceeds. Entry fee is $20. Details and registration forms can found at Seager Marine website - Seagermarine.com. Fall is a great time for fishing on Canandaigua Lake and the scenery is awesome! Come on out and get in on the fun.

It was a bit busier than I expected for a Tuesday afternoon! I had fleas also, but not too bad. The flicker line really helps.

Got out for a few hours this afternoon from 3pm to 6pm. Only managed one small rainbow on the FLT Bob Barker Special down 60'. Fished north end near the drop off to German Brothers and only worked riggers. Guess I better try the flasher fly! Not a lot of bait and fish marked only here and there, mostly around the 50' - 60' mark.

Seager Marine held their LUND Owners tournament today. Fishing was a little slower than we had hoped but we got some nice fish and everyone had some fun. First place finishers were as follows: Trout - 7.39#, Perch - 0.45#, Pickerel - 2.27#, and Panfish - 0.81#. Additional results can be found on the Seager Marine website at www.seagermarine.com. We plan to hold another perch tournament in October. This will be open to all.

Got out for a few hours this morning up north. Marked pretty good fish and bait in the typical triangle from the pump house to German Brothers and across to Thendara. Landed 3 Lakers off the riggers at 65 over various depths from 85 to 150. Hot spoon was the FLT Bob Barker Special. South wind came up and made things a bit difficult running solo!
