Wow, great topic!  I too hired Finger Lakes Angling Zone guide, John Gaulke, to show me the jigging technique on Cayuga.  Best money I ever spent.  I had only fished Cayuga a handful of times but never caught a Laker.  I had John take me out on a really slow and snotty day this past April.  I caught my first laker after a lot of work. It was a really bad and slow day but he was able to put me on fish.  He showed me the technique and how to use the fish finder.  Long story short.  I just went out on my own for the first time this past August and had a banner day  The drop to the bottom and steady retrieve worked best for me. Lots of good info here on a great topic!

FYI,  we own a place in New Milford Township just over the border from Binghamton.  Will be starting out trying to figure out Cayuga.  Thanks for all the welcomes and have great holidays!

Just wanted to say hey.  We bought a place in NE PA and I'm hoping to become more familiar with the salmonoid fishing in the big lakes of NY.  I just got my non-res NY licence and will be bringing up my 1802 trophy this spring.  I'm a total duffer when it comes to fishing.  I've done some fly fishing in the streams here in PA and use the boat primarily on our anual vacations to the Va and NC coasts.  My success is usually limited to luck.  I hope now that I'm retired and will have more time that I can improve my chances with some knowledge.  My trolling of this board indicates there is pleanty here. Thanks in advance for picking your brains.
