Anyone Know if the branchport launch is open of ice? I'm assuming it is but I would hate to make the hour ride down to find out you can't get out on it! Gonna make a first attempt at jigging for lakers tomorrow, always troll. Will report back how I do!!

Headed out to jig some Lakers in the morning, Didn't know if anyone has been out lately I'm trying to decide where I wanna head! Also anyone know if you can launch at Sampson right now? Not sure if the ice in the marina went out with this warm spell. tight lines guys!

Didn't think it was worth starting a new post but I got out on CA for 2 hours or so before the wind really came up, outta the north end (not to sound like everyone else but be careful the water is low). headed south to the pump house and set up 2 dipsey rods and a lead core. Didn't feel like setting the whole spread, but I was 1 for 2. fish i landed was a nice healthy 5 to 7 lb laker released to fight another day. took two rips on the 150 dipsey down probably 45ish over 80 to 100 fow. blue and silver flasher with a green/blue meat rig fly. hope to get out again this week. tight lines!

Thanks for the info guys. I'm headed down to ca lake this afternoon to troll in my boat will report back how I do.

shoot me a pm... not looking for a report or spot to go. just conformation I'm on the right track!

Just curious if anyone has any info on fishing from shore on seneca for trout and LL's... I am no stranger to the finger lakes just most of my fishing comes trolling outta the boat! A friend of mine suggested I try sampson... I checked the region 7 hotline and it said "Fishing off the pier has been very good during the day for brown trout and Atlantic salmon. Anglers fishing there latter in the afternoon and after dark are catching lake trout" Are they referring to the pier at watkins?? or any tips and tactics would be much appreciated, I could take my boat out but I was just exploring options for days I wanna just cast a line.
