Headed out of Taughannock yesterday by 7am. This was after I took the ice spud to the 3 inches at the shoreline and about 20 feet out into the launch. Was well prepared with spud and waders as I had checked it out the Friday afternoon prior. (You're welcome to anyone who came in after us.) The bubbler is working but with the extreme cold weather it could not keep up with the shoreline icing up. The channel itself was narrow but open. Ran boards with sticks and spoons. All the normal patterns I run this time of year. Ran about a half hour with nothing than it was on with pretty much non-stop action till we pulled the plug at 2:30, had to get home to sleep, worked 3rd shift on Sunday night so I could get out again this morning. The bag was mixed, browns salmon and lakers. Biggest brown was 8lb4oz biggest salmon was 6lb13oz. Lakers ran up to 7-8ish. Light chop on the water as the winds were about 10mph. We kept a 2 man limit with many released. Great easy day and felt great to be on the water, hadn't been on the lake since before deer season back in September. Between hunting and working 6 day weeks, haven't had any spare time for the boat and usually get out many times in December and January. As for today, totally different day. Launched by 7 again with no ice to chip today lol. Fished same areas with very few fish marked and only boated 2 lakers with only a couple other hits. Too nice of a day obviously and the parking lot was full with boat trailers when we came in, we packed it in around 1.I can't get back out till Sunday, I'm hoping for cold, overcast and 8-12 mph wind, fish will bite and fair weather fisherman will stay home.

I launched there yesterday morning. No issues at ramp itself but about half way out, before you get to the lake just keep prop up a bit. I did stir up a little mud. My boat is 19 ft. No ladder needed either.

If you're going to fish it on top for browns, now is the time. The bite has been great and it might not last too much longer. East shore north to cargill salt area and west shore all the way up to taughannock park has produced fish. Salmon and an occasional laker were also in the mix. Was out last thurs, sat and sunday, boated double digits all but one day and that was a 7 fish day and usually packing it up before noon.... treman is the only launch on south end. Taughannock on west side about 7 miles north of ithaca and myers in lansing on east side..heading there now...

Shouldn't matter, keep speed low, it is a short distance to get where the fish are. No problem out there today...
