    Considering different launch location on Cayuga

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Posted · Edited by JJBat150

    Sorry for the late post -

     

    I went out of Sheldrake yesterday (Wednesday 17th) - hit the water @ 6AM, and the wind from the S/SE forced me fish north of the point in 30-80 FOW. 

     

    Also saw lots of bait with marks underneath; trolled 4 and 5 colors with a mix of stick baits, trolling files, and  mixed spoons with only a 19" salmon brought to the net to be released.   Wind died down around 11AM, and on the way in, I spent about 30 minutes messing around jigging white flukes over marks - brought up a 23" laker.  

     

    @egcuth - Weekdays are a bit tough for me to schedule in, I generally get out more on weekends; but send me a PM if you're looking for a partner next time out.

    Hemlock reports?

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Posted

    Sorry for the late report -

     

    I hit Hemlock both mornings (5/17 & 5/18) and here's my results.

     

    5/17 - Launched from the North launch @ 6 AM and headed to the west shoreline. Ran down to south of the bluffs in 30-60 FOW.  

     

    Fished marks and bait when I saw them.  Lots of marks near the bottom in 50 FOW.   Water temps were 48-50 on the surface.

     

    I top lined a mix of humdingers, flutter spoons and small suttons with only a small mouth bass caught.

     

    Also had 3 color and 4 color lead cores out.  

    The 4 had a homemade cowbell-type flasher with a night crawler on a bare hook.
    The 3 color I ran a mix of smelt pattern trolling flies.

     

    Landed and released  3 Lakers ; 18, 21.5 and 23 inches.  (2 on the night crawler 1 on a trolling fly)

     

    5/18 - Launched from North launch @ 6:30 and again headed for west shore.   Fog was pretty thick the first hour or so.  

     

    Based on the marks that I saw Saturday, I stayed in the area of 50 FOW and only got a far south as the white building, as I kept circling and fishing the marks.    

     

    I ran a down rigger with a mix of green & green-black spoons near the bottom and a "cheater" rod up higher depending on where marks were.

     Cheater used a mix of flutter spoons and smelt pattern trolling flies.

     

    Landed and released 2 lakers; 21.5 and 22 inches.  both from the bottom spoons.

    hard pressed to know why anybody would post a report like that

     

    It's call misdirection; everyone will  there tomorrow looking for the perch when in reality, they're schooled up off Gilligan's Island.  :rofl::rofl:

    Kayak trolling

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    this thread is making me jealous...  I'm classified as essential at work, and have been working a lot of additional hours to support the increased  need for remote access and other IT initiatives in our healthcare environment, so haven't had time to get out in the kayak yet.

     

    On a side note, I am in the process of stripping down and repainting the trailer I haul it around on.

     

     

    2019 Hemlock-Canadice Angler Diary Report

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Posted

    For your reading pleasure, see attached PDF file of the 2019 report.

     

    Wondering if the discontinuation of stocking Lakers will allow for a better population of browns to develop; Personally, browns have always been challenging to me  in Canadice, but I was able to land 2 last year.  Know a fellow kayak-er (not a diary cooperator)  who landed a monster a few years, and have heard of others being landed, so I know they're down there. 

     

    Would also suggest anyone who regularly fishes these lakes consider participating in the program - there's definitely a lot more folks fishing these lakes then are represented in the cooperator program.

    Whats the Coolest Thing You've Found While Fishing?

    Canadice lake on the ice last year 90 FOW...

    Was in the flip-over messing with one of my yak attack creapers. Like a sling shot, it flew off my boot and right down the hole.

    Watch it flutter down, and once it hit bottom dropped my 1 oz jig down and in 15 minutes after a few drops had it back on the ice.

    Fought harder then most lakers I've gotten there [emoji16][emoji16]

    Invasive Asian swamp eels found in Hemlock

    You won’t believe what this guy pulled from Rochester's drinking water supply

     

    Ummm ... swamp eels? From Asia?

     

    No one could have predicted the latest invasive species that’s been cataloged in Hemlock Lake, the source of Rochester’s drinking water.

    Yes, it's the Asian swamp eel, a creature whose native habitats are rice paddies and marshes 8,000 miles away from the isolated Finger Lake south of Rochester.

    Seven of the finless fish, all recently deceased, were discovered in the lake by a college wildlife student over the last two weeks.

     

    How the foot-long eels found their way to Hemlock remains a slimy, squirmy mystery.
