I quickly chatted with a very nice guy on a hobie, who was slow trolling and mentioned he pulled a few up. He cordially passed on some advice on where he had his fish. He said the spot was down a few hundred yards where you can smell the lakers were feeding. I did notice certain areas I had hit had the distinct dead fish odor, yet it was isolated to certain areas. my question for the forum is for any further information regarding this. I had never heard of actually smelling areas where heavy feeding had gone on. I am interested I any details regarding this. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Still a tough jig bite. Hit keuka from sat- today. Fished about two hours a day am 8-10am two evening bite trips. Landed two dinks, and two nice ones, 5-6lbers. Lost a 7-8lber. Marked them most consistently deep, or over deep. Not much structure relations on the west side of branchport branch. Took too long to get one off the bluff today from 4-630. But thankful to have him. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thq sk8, those are great jigging tips. I caught one of my largest keuka laker on a diamond jig tipped with a green pumpkin kinami 3" grub. Glad to,see a pattern, I have a bunch of green pumpkin flukes that I will try too. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I found some micro flukes today at gander. I had one left and that's what I caught that last eye on with 1/8thoz jig. I also found some micro power bait green paddle tails at gander barely an inch n a half long. I can't wait to use them. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'll be up on keuka 9th-16th. Lady of the lake suites. I hope we can figure them out. My trips this year my salvation was 1/4oz silver kastmasters jigged. When hooks were up high, I cast it out let it sink, twitch as it fell then slow reel, picked up a few on the bluff when I found they were suspended.

I mark them under the bridges, but need to spend more time and possibly live bait. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Port Gibson is one of my favorite places, I haven't pulled an eye up from their yet though:( Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Great tips guys, thq one of these days I'll venture out there. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Those are awesome. How deep? And did you look for them on the ff first? No live bait? Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Caught one eye, a drum, 4 crappie, bunch o Rockies, a few smallies, and a rare largemouth in the areas I target in fairport. The eye hit it on the drop only a few feet below the surface. The canal was loaded with bait fish all at the surface, I think they were either walleye or bass fry, about 1.5-2" long. Weirdly, not much was harassing the schools.I wish I had a net to take a closer look at them. If anyone knows what fry they could be I would love to know. Other wise, my last few weeks hitting the canal have been slow. I find that the few days after rain has the best water clarity and they turn on. The last few weeks have been chocolate milk and a very dead bite. I wasn't marking many under the bridges either, so they are going some where when the water gets cloudy, just not sure yet where. I excitedly got to try my new light walleye jigging rod. After hours of research, and desire to find a light rod that wasn't floppy that would have a fast enough tip to feel a jig that is lighter than 1/4oz, I found my new favorite at gander. A stcroix premier 6ft med light, fast tip that is amazing. I tipped an 1/8 oz jig with a micro fluke, and man does that catch everything in the canal. And you can feel the hits really nicely without needing a finger on the line. You don't feel the rock structure as you bounce the jig down as much as a heavy 1/4oz, but the fall of the jig is much slower and most likely accounts for the lack of feel of the banging down the rocks. Vertically, this rod does shine as well, with the lighter jig the vertical fall is slower in 10ft, and if you rest the jig on the bottom and lightly twitch the line with your trigger finger it makes the bait wriggle. Then pause for and excruciating 5-10 seconds is when I had most my hits. I have found that the key to vertical jigging is more about the pause and keeping the pause within a millimeter of the bottom. That is the hard part, the do nothing piece. Oh yes, and the 10lb powerpro, and 6lb Izorline leader was a nice light combo for the 1/8th oz presentation.

Slow night jiggin for walleyes, maybe one on. Had a small bunch of bass, a few monster bull gills. After the pop ups blew threw after 545 I thought there would have been some activity. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app
