cinnamon fish

Got out today from 1 - 4:30, did 5 lakers and 1 LL, west side from the boy scout camp to about even with power plant.  All small fish 2-3 pounds.  Fished mostly shallow, 20-70 fow.

Just sent you a message.

Nice to know somebody else was out there today!  Definitely will see you some time I'm sure.  Cheers brother.

Good luck!  I may make it out Sunday.  I'm in a 14' Duranautic sea foam green color.

Nice, yeah I was just a bit south of there and decided to try in a little shallower today.  Saw the fish jumping and wanted to go even shallower.  I was fishing the area you mentioned and doing great there a few weeks ago.  Hopefully we'll get some more sunny days without too much wind this November. Nice day to sneak in some fishing.

I was out there this afternoon as well.  Landed 3 lakers and an 18" LL.  Got the LL today in about 68 fow. Haven't gotten any big LL in a few weeks.  Couple of 5-6 pound rainbows 2 weeks ago.  Wasn't marking as many fish as usual today. I saw a lot of big fish jumping in shallow though, 30-50 ft from shore.   

Price further reduced to $175 or $225 with battery.

That's as low as I'll go.  Somebody that wants this 3X steering should scoop this up!

Really well said, Sk8man.

I thank Great Lakes Lure Maker for letting folks know on fb and here, and for putting a lot of effort into continued tradition of the NLTD along with some improvements (live updates) so less small fish are brought in. 

Also, I agree with the quote, "Fishing is not a competitive sport, its a contemplative sport".  But I think there's nothing wrong with putting all that contemplative time we put in and have a fun friendly little competition once in a while, as long as it stays respectful of the conditions of the lakes.  I think most of the guys on here are very respectful and aware of the state of the lakes.  Bass tournaments on the other hand, I would guess likely have a bigger toll on the lake because there are a lot more professional bass fisherman than trout/salmon, and they travel from far away sometimes to fish Cayuga as it's been one of the tourney locations for the bass masters for awhile.  I think it's probably a good time to give Cayuga a break from large scale bass tournaments.

Price reduced.  $50

Sticking with the tradition sounds the best to me... 53 years now, bound to be a few tough fishing seasons here or there.

Thought I’d let folks know I saw a post on facebook on the NLTD group where it’s being discussed the possibility of adding Cayuga to the NLTD in 2018.

Thought some experienced anglers might like to get on there and give an opinion before their meeting tonite. Here’s the link to the group where you can see the post.

Garmin Echo 151 portable fishfinder, needs transducer

Garmin fish finder. It's missing the transducer (broke off the cable while traveling at high speed).
Otherwise, hook up a battery and it powers right up and works perfectly. Served me very well for a couple of years.
This is the portable bundle version that comes in a nice, easy to carry garmin bag with mount and space for a small battery.  Battery not included.
A new transducer is easy to buy online. I never did because I ended up buying another boat that came with a fish finder.

$50 pickup in Ithaca or near T-Falls State Park.  Will ship for additional $10.

I'd like to join the FLTA for 2018... wanted to this past year, but wasn't sure how many tournaments I could make as I often don't know my work schedule more than a few weeks in advance, and sometimes I'm working weekend nights.  But, at this point I figure I should just go for it.  Looks too fun to pass up!

Congrats to all the winners.  And thank you guys much all who made it happen today.  It's great fishing in the fall and especially fun... an event like this.  I was psyched to score a Iron Duke Trolling fly "Quality Time" on a raffle.  Can't wait to try it.  Thank you.  I managed just small fish today, released all 12 fish as they just weren't big enough for any decent box, nice variety, but no size, 6 lakers (2-4 pounds), 4 LL (up to 18.5"), 2 browns (14").  Had a great time.  Love to fish it again next year.

Good luck folks.  Excited to fish.  Safety first always.  See you out there!

Located in Ithaca, NY area, willing to meet nearby.  No shipping.   Rare model trolling motor with 3X steering!

Where is the salt plant?

Just slightly south of Myers Point.

The usual calmer morning scenario seems to not apply as much for this Sunday, because wind is starting the night before.  Looks like T-Falls area winds will already be at least 15 mph at 6am start and up over 20 mph by late morning.

Excited for Sunday!  I appreciate all the effort going into it and thrilled to fish it with everyone.  If the rain forecast stays somewhat on the drier side, my dad and nephew are gonna drive up from just outside nyc to fish it with me.  Always looking for more fishing time with the family, so should be great.  My 12 yr old nephew is super excited.  Look fwd to meeting everybody.

Landed 4 LL and 2 lakers afternoon/early evening today. Mostly smaller fish, but one beauty 7 pound LL a mile or so north of t falls.

Gorgeous brown!  I'm curious, what was the weight on that?  Nice trophy too.

Surface temp today is 70. Picked up a nice 4 pound brown early this morning near the Boy Scout camp. Couple of small rainbows just north of there and a nice 4 1/2 pound LL a bit further north. No lakers for me today.

I got out for 3 hours this morning on the west side north of T-Falls to across from AES.  Weeds were still there, but less than there were a week ago.  I landed 4 LL (mostly small, one 4.25 pounder) and one 3-4 pound laker.  The cool weather starts again Thursday, should change things up.

They were almost gone a week or so ago, but now that the lake is up above 70 degrees again they're back... not bad though.
