    Tips on locating fish this time of year.

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    I know it's late in the season but we finally got brave enough to try Ontario instead of the finger lakes. First trip out we hooked up in first 15 mins and lost it shortly after. Haven't had a bite since. Fished out of sodus point between 50 and 120 fow marking fish but not takers. Any tips would be great to put some fish out of Ontario in the boat.

    Found plenty of atlantics this weekend. Nothing very large but plentiful and fun. No rhyme or reason. Pulled one 100 down on an echip/fly then the rest on spoons 45 to 60 down through the day Sunday.



    Fishing has been great on Seneca all year long... Anyone who fishes it frequently will agree.


    The bandwagon on cayuga will slow down soon enough...

    You have been saying samething for years when 99% of the old timers say the lake is dead. Just because you catch a few fish doesn't mean the lake isn't dead. The perch fishing is dead. Lake trout are babies. The lake needs to be better managed and the longer you deny it the more foolish you look. Seneca may have a few fish left in it but not compared to any of the other lakes except kueka which is also mismanaged by the same moron.

    Sampson launching

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    How's the new launch? Was told you have to pay to get in the park then pay to launch? I haven't been down there since they remodeled it. Fractured my neck 2.5 years ago and just getting back to fishing. I'm trying to find beat launch areas for different weather patterns. Tried Lodi but that was really shallow and narrow. Seems it's gotten worse.

     

    Fish we caught in the north end were babies. Rather stay away from the north end after two weekends of sub legal Lakers.

    Seneca Lakers 200+fow

    Is it worth targeting fish in 250 fow or deeper. Bait was over 220 and stacked as high as 150' off bottom. One guy with me snagged a laker in 250fow but it was no bigger then a sawbellie. Maybe a little bigger. Is it worth getting 2oz weights or jigging spoons for the depth?

     

    Any depth under 150', everything that was marked was hugging bottom or there was nothing.

     

    Fished out of Lodi north then over to the west side.

    He just suggested going to otter lake. I never made it out this weekend. To many people wanted firewood. I would just call the Inn and or the marinas ahead of time to see if they are plowed. That's my plan anyways mid week since I finished my jobs and sold out wood till camping season or taxes come in and work starts taking over all my time again.

    The Cross Lake Inn & Marina parking area has not been plowed out recently, the road has for the cottages. I had to put my truck in 4wd to get turned around in the parking area. They also have removed the little white shack that had the $ box on it for boat launch payment. Appears someone is living at the restaurant as one vehicle was parked up tight to the building with a 2 wide plow width driveway to the corner of it. No parking that I could see unless you have a 4wd and permission to park. I will PM you with an alternative.

    Maybe you should read... Your basically the reason I won't go fish ostic... People pay for their license and if they decide to keep it... To each their own... They are stocked fish and as someone said before it only takes about 10 years for the fish to get that big.


    This is a Cross Lake thread... Quit hi jacking my thread.

    I hear ya Mike. Been there done that too many times there[emoji38] Back in the 70's and early 80's I has permission from a cottage owner there at Canoga so I could park there and walk to the spot but walking from the road near the north end is brutal. A few years ago my son and I were just starting out walking from there and in about 5 ft of water when I noticed a pressure ridge had some moving water in it and we stopped dead in our tracks and all of a sudden a great big ice floe broke off and stranded a bunch of snowmobiles and 4 wheelers out there and they had to travel all the way back to the north end to get off the ice
    Cayuga one my favorite places to fish but the weeds are dead out deep and the fish seem to be non existent in usual areas. Perch population seems to stay South for sure. I would love to figure out the crappie on cayuga. The two I caught 3 years ago where nice and was the first time I had crappie. Can't seem to find a lake to catch them in decent numbers or they just not big enough to meet the legal size. I heard they increased the size requirement too.

    I don't want to fish musky because everyone complains when you keep them... Plus I hate getting the y bone out. I'm not very good at it. I'll admit I eat the tail area and cook the rib cage for the cats. Nothing goes to waste is all I can say

    Shove ice is about half mile to the double bouys might. Froze way down to canoga but no one has gone that far and idk if I would want to walk the shove ice. I know there is perch probably further north based on reports and where I walked already. Just tired of miles of walking and not getting on them. Sodus all I caught was tiny perch. Just looking to try somewhere new where less likely to get surrounded by 4 wheelers after walking miles just because they see one decent pickerel on the ice...

    Otisco is closer if you are traveling from the west or south west

    I'm out of Interlaken. I heard the lake has a lot of pressure right now. I'm not to interested in catching musky. I had plenty of pickerel out on cayuga.

     

    All I really wanted to know is if the ice is safe and where to get on. I can figure out the fishing from there. Never got a chance to call the Inn today. Been on the phone all morning trying to get through to the irs and delivering firewood. Might plan on Wednesday but all depends on how much snow we get

    I fish Cross Lake several times a year by boat and it always surprises me how few fisherman are on it. Maybe I just pick good days?. Not sure where you would access it from other than Cross lake Marina or the campgrounds. I am not sure if either are plowed???
    I'll try to give them a call. I mean I don't mind a drag to the ice. Have to do it at oneida when we go there. Just tired of small fish at sodus and pickerel at cayuga. I walked 4 miles in two days and couldn't find any perch or gills on cayuga. Started holes in 3fow all the way out to 12fow. Worst part is the 3fow to 8fow had the most weeds.
