Oak 7/26/17 Greetings, Launched at the ramp next to Black North Inn at 6:20am on 7/26/17. Headed straight North set up in 150fow. Blank screen was the name of my game BUT when I hit 500fow the riggers at 90,80,70,60 began to hit, two times almost doubles (back to back), circled that area for 4 hours and had a nice steady bite of kings for the first hour we were there,in the 10-15 pound range (my estimate,no scale on board) and some screaming steelheads. The steady breeze we had died and so did the bite (for me). Back in at 2:30. Give it another shot in the morning. Great fun for about an hour, 4 kings and 3 steelhead. In 500fow temp was 45deg down 90, surface at 70deg.

Cayuga South End Tough day for me on Cayuga South End today 7/19/17. Launched at Treman at 6:15am. Headed to the west side to troll northbound. Blank screen FOREVER. Periods of debris that was a pain. Lots of fleas. Several snags on limbs. Dirty water. Boo hoo. I never had a hit. Never saw a fish check out my lures on my Lowrance. Picked up and ran North for a mile or so and set up again in spots that worked last time. Pulled out at 12:15. Kept riggers at 70-100 nearly all time because when I did see a fish on the screen it was in this range. Temp down 90ft was always around 45deg. 10 colors on my lead core, even threw out some Rapalas on a flatline. Used spoons of all colors, flies, spin docs, Dodgers, never got to the dipsies though. Did I mention I NEVER even got a hit? I'm gonna kick ass on them next time though. if you fished the south end today and caught fish I'd love to hear from you.

Nice day at the bar on Tuesday 5/16. Launched out of Ft Niagara at 6:30am, pulled out at 3pm. Wear your boots if you plan to launch here, not difficult just need boots. steady pick all day. 8 kings (biggest 21lbs), 5 steelheads. Saw most other boats landing fish as well. 130fow was best for us early and 80fow was best later. All spoons, all colors. Riggers down 65' and 10 color lead core.

Cayuga south end 5/10-17 Launched out of Treman at 8am. Surface temp at 46, down 100' was 45deg. Trolled west side. Great LL bite on orange spoons down 80' over 150fow. Picked 11 LL and 5 LT. Launch area looked great ( little debris ). Water is high but not an issue. Even took a few LL on thunder sticks off the boards.

X2!!

Cayuga South End 4/21 South end of Cayuga was loaded with debris this morning, grass, leaves, and branches. There are also some pretty good size logs floating around. Did not even think of deploying the boards, lines on the downriggers kept popping due to the debris. The ramps at Treman were clogged with debris as well.

Sodus boat launch docks For anyone that would like to know: the public launch on Sodus Bay, next to Arney's Marina, now has the docks in place.

Sodus boat launch I've searched previous posts but have not found the answer to my question. Are the boat docks in place at the public launch next to Arney's Marina on Sodus Bay? thanks for info.

Lodging/Marina Wilson NY I would appreciate any information on the lodging and Marina services in Wilson New York. Planning to fish the bar this year out of Wilson. I would prefer to keep the boat in the water at a marina with lodging nearby But can always pull out and launch. Thanks for any info.

My spoons, flashers, and flies never touched the water. All fish were caught on small (less than 3") sticks off the planer boards. Sticks with an orange belly were the champs but the laker came on a chartreuse color jointed rapala.

Cayuga 2/28/17 Launched out of Treman this morning with my Fishmaster 196. No problems with the lake being a little low. Once I got away from the docks the water never got less than 4.5 feet all the way out to the lake. set up and trolled the east side to Myers pt. , turned around and trolled back. Picked up 10 small (9-11 inch) LL, 3 nice LL (20+ inches) and 1 Laker (in 8 feet of water!). Wind picked up at 1:00 and we headed in.

Yowza!!!! I know what your problem is(maybe)!!! I bet you are running a Mercury outboard, probably 2 stroke???

Launched at Taughannock at 10am on 3/7/16. Pulled out at 3pm. Trolled mostly south from 150fow to 350fow. No matter where we were the surface temp stayed at 38.7deg. Water level seems to be up a little from February 2nd (the last time I launched here). Much easier getting the boat back on the trailer. Picked 5 LL, one was 20" and the other 4 were 14"-16". The 20 came at 75' down with purple spoon. All smaller ones were on lead core, 7 colors out and spoons. We have always fished Keuka when fishing the FL. Switching to Cayuga. Always jigged for Lakers end of March through April. Can anyone tell me about jigging for Lakers on Cayuga?
