finally got out for the shake down run . got a late start launched at 1pm from the state park .trolled with flies on dypsies back 240 ish . down riggers with spoons down 140 ish . . went  nine for fourteen on the fish in a short three hour tour . Most of the fish came right out in front of the launch over 150 -160 fow .  North troll seemed best just over 2 mph . . winds were out of the south with manageable white caps .  Actually marked quite a bit of bait for keuka .

saw a few guys coming in one morning on Keuka with their bow fishing boats . All I can say is they had some of the biggest carp I have everseen . This was some kind of a bowfishing tournament .  One thing for sure bowfishing is a lot of fun . I have never tried it on the finger lakes yet , I mostly shoot on smaller lakes down near the state line . Dont forget bow fishing doesnt start until May 15 in Ny

good luck to my Ny friends

real nice buck

awesome buck congrats

nice job. What is on the end of your arrows for vanes??

they are called fobs . they just pop on underneath the nock

I have been using them for several years now . You must shoot a dropaway rest to use them

nice report Marty . I plan on getting two more diver rods for next season too . going to run four diver rods and two rigger rods . I really started doing well with the divers this year after about June . Still learning things each time out plus from other reports on this site . Keep the reports coming

thanks guys . yes three points to one side is the law in archery season too . Only kids 16 and under are able to take any buck .

Well November is starting out good for me . Got in the stand about 7 this morning .dragged some estrous scent on the way in . I was siting in the stand when I noticed four deer coming my way . They milled around for the next 30 minutes or so .They appeared to all be fawns . Finally they bedded down just out of bow range. I was just about to set down when I heard a twig snap behind me . I turned around and saw a doe at about 15yds . She had her tail straight out behind her . I look behind her and this mature buck stood about five yds behind her . So I look at him quickly and decide He would be a good one to take . I settle my pin on him and released the arrow . It took him a little high through the shoulder . As he was crashing away through the brush there is another Buck coming in from a different direction . He was a small 6pt . So Iwait the customarily 30 minutes to climb down . Good blood trail of about a 100yds and I get to lay hands on this Unique trophy . Went and got help from My cousin to pull him out of the woods .

Get out there boys they are chasing ! .this is just across the state line south of Whitesville ny

nice story and buck

what an awesome day off from work . headed up to Keuka this morning for some fishing .only caught two trout . The fall colors were great along the lake . Took the camera but it didnt have a card in it . .Sure wish I had got some pictures .marked most of the fish along the eastern shore .in 120-150 fow . Left the Lake at about 1pm .stopped and ate and was home by 3:45

Got changed and headed for the woods . hunted until dark . almost had a shot at a deer but it was a little too dark for the shot . Also saw four other deer in the distance running . right at dark too

nice pictures . glad you got the kid onto some fish .

FLXTroutman I might be able to join you on Sunday . I usually fish Keuka and really struggle on Canandaigua . would be nice to get out with someone who knows the lake a little bit .

great pictures .think you just convinced me into one more fishing trip .

nice report Ed . I might have to fish Seneca a little more this fall . Hard to pass up Keuka and the easy fishing though .

good report Marty . Pictures are nice too .I like the hat but like the empty parking lot better . My brother is coming up from Va this weekend .Maybe I can talk him into going fishing on Sunday Morning .

yes Marty please let us know how you do . I have to get a new license too . Iam working second shift now with Sundays and Mondays off . Plus it is archery season . No hunting in Pa on Sundays so guess I will have to go fishing

good report . I might make a trip back up next Sunday . Green is always a hot color on Keuka .

first of all welcome to the site and and the area . You might want to look at the lake ontario tribs section on here . When I stream fish Iam way south of you on the Genesee river . Any way the river is very good fishing in Alegany county for stocked trout . The Wiscoy and East coy streams in Wyoming county is really good stream fishing too . Iam sure you can find something a little closer to your area so good luck .

nice report Marty . Might get back up there in a couple weeks . Have some deer to hunt first

Another couple days up on Keuka fishing and camping with Dad . We started fishing Sun about 5pm and fished until dark . Two diver rods and two rigger rods all running fly flasher setup . Rigger rods were set at 60' and 70 ' and the 107 walker divers set at 180 and 220' back . We fished the water right out in front of the state park to about a mile south of the launch . Did not mark many fish south most of our fish came north of the launch . We ended up catching eight Lake trout including a triple on at one time .Almost had all the rods going at once as the fourth rod fired jut after we got the third fish in .

Monday am fished pretty much same setup but stayed out in front of the state park . we missed quite a few on the rigger rods picking up most of our fish on the diver rods . think we ended up catching seven in the morning .

Got back to the launch and we met 4 people going out for the day . One was an older gentleman that my Dad knew from work . This guy has been in bad health the last few years and They were having troubles getting the boat off the trailer . So I assisted them in doing that and helping them get The older Guy into the boat .

When we got back out in the Pm .we saw these guys coming back in So we ran back to the Launch to assist them again .They ended up getting a few fish during the day . Had another good visit with these people .

We ended up with quite a short evening of fishing but managed five fish . Same set up except went with mag divers . Mag divers were back 150 -170 .

Tuesday morning did not start well . Dad fell in the lake as we were launching . He insisted that we stayed and fish . We got one fish and missed one before calling it a day . Dad was shivering so we only fished about 45 minutes . It was quite breezy also making boat control difficult .

So it was a pretty good weekend for the most part . Not sure when my next fishing outing will be . Saturday Pa archery deer season starts and Monday is a new license year in Ny . Keuka camping season ends on Oct 21st . No hunting in Pa on Sundays So I might make a couple of day trips in Oct and Nov .

Good luck this fall

kid was 14 and almost as big as me he wore one of my life jackets . I was more worried about when I take my great nephews oldest is 12or 13 not really sure how old have a couple of younger neighbor kids to take up to the lake too . going to pick up a youth pfd for these younger passengers . watching these younger anglers catch fish is more fun than catching them myself
