Caught mixed bag. One 10 to 15lbs carp. 29" Bowfin and half dozen eating size bullhead! Lots grass already.

Blue bomber took the first hit with 10 color lead. Lost the swivel and lure with 1 color to go....over 120'

Planning on taking a trip down to Myers from the Auburn area this Thursday. Anyone know the conditions of the launch? Ice/shallow/etc. I have a Lund Deep V 17.5'.

Fished Cayuga this weekend. Out of Meyers - headed north. Next day out of Long Point - headed south. Fished temp and above. Morning bite was light the first day and non-existent today. Sunday brought a fantastic bow out over the deep water. Over 5 pounder. Great fight with jumps. On a rigger with a small Stinger in purple. Released at boat. Today I fished just north of same deep water as Sunday. I ended up having to adjust my troll to avoid the weeds. Stayed over the deep water. It paid off with a great LL Salmon about the same size as the Bow from Sunday. It jumped once and came to the net tangled in the line. I netted it with the rubber net. Untangled it and put it back in the water with the net. She was really lively in the net so I dumped her out. She floated so I did a quick circle to see if I could get her revived. Got right to her and took my eyes off for a second and she was gone. I hope she makes it. That was a beautiful fish. That fish came on the same purple small stinger. Great to see some Salmon growing up and becoming such great fish. I have spent years clearing lines with the little ones that are so crazy aggressive. Sorry no pics..had to get these fish back in quick.

Went out with my wife yesterday afternoon. Started setting lines in 130 FOW north of Long Point. Took a shot on the dipsy before we got the whole spread out - big fish, shook the hook. Kept trolling south and stopped marking. Fished from 130-90 FOW with no screen. Pointed the boat back north, got back out to 130 when we decided to clear lines. Brought in the first stacked rigger, and there was a little rainbow shaker on there. Not sure how long he'd been on for, but he was still in good shape. As we tossed him back, the deep rigger started shaking - 3.5lb laker. Introduced him to his new vacation home, and kept clearing lines. As I was bringing in the starboard dipsy, something pounded it and headed straight for the surface. By now I was completely shut down by fleas, and I saw a big silver flash behind the boat, then he was gone. Before I could get that rig the rest of the way in, the port rigger starts pounding. Again, the fleas bogged us down, and the fish shook free. No hot lure - took shots on NK28 SSW, NK28 Glow w Green Spots, NK28 Watermelon, small Evil Eye Black/Purple Tape, reguar Evil Eye chart. w orange dots Tired of peeling snot of the line, we switched to jigging. I stung one in 110 FOW, then we headed in. 2/3 of my rigger rods were spooled with 10lb mono, and the other was with 30. The fleas were noticeably better on the 30 lb. My dipsy rods are spooled with 30 lb braid - shame on me for letting them soak as long as I did without checking them. Moral of the story, switch to your summer flea line, or check them every so often if you're fishing the northern reaches of Cayuga. Not sure how they are down south, should find out later this week.

Recently I went fishing on Cayuga with my Dad. We had a good day fishing, but on the way in my gimble bearing started to rattle, bad. I noticed it a little before, but not this bad. No big deal except Theresa's brother and kids are here from California and I promised them a fishing trip. So yesterday I bought a gimble, and all the bellows and hose and gaskets to do the job. I never did this before and it took me 12 hrs. Theresa's brother Fred and son Pacee were here for dinner and helped me finish up the job. I couldn't have finished the job without their help. So today we go to Cayuga to "shake her down". Pacee has been fishing all his life with no luck. Even on some ocean party boat trips. The only fish he ever caught was an 18 inch laker with Theresa and I last year. We braved some rough water to do that. Today was a whole different story. Started out of Deans Cove at 630. By 650 we had our first fish in the boat and it never stopped from there. We caught a total of 27 fish and lost 4. Had 6 doubles and 3 triples. (we probably didn't log them all due to the fast pace today) Pacee boated a 10.9 laker, 4 lb landlock and several other fish. We had more fun today than I have had in a while. Rods were firing all day non stop. We couldn't go wrong today the fishing was phenomenal! This young fella was so pleased he could not stop telling me thank you. He was in his wildest dream today and so were Theresa and I to see him and his Dad have so much fun. These are the days we all continue to fish for. We had the opportunity to take them fishing and the fishing could not have been better! Tons of fun, tons of fish and tons of stories to tell. That's what keeps me, and i'm sure most of us, hooked on fishing. We were able to make this young mans day today, and we were pleased to be able to do so. Hot lures today for us, Copper Back KW Rattling lure and a new color (I'm not going to say because I will get a bunch of guys calling me for this and I'm not ready for it. Sorry, but i'm already so far behind I will not possibly be able to keep up) I will say that it was a Rattling Lure as well. Thermocline is strong north of Deans Cove.

The forecast looks perfect for me to jig tonight. Since I don't have a trolling motor I am limited to those rare windless days to have any chance of keeping verticle. Going to be launching out of Myers, any tips, tricks, advice, starting depths, etc. are appreciated. It's my first time trying to get them on the jig, so all (most) comments are welcome. Thanks, Chris

Went out Friday afternoon out of Meyers to break in new kicker motor. The launch was open with the water just a couple of inches from swamping the dock. There was a steady semi westerly wind (8 mph or so) that was pushing a lot of debris towards the east shore. I found lots of open water, with occasional debris. The debris, lots of it, was concentrated in several long slicks in the eastern third/quarter of the lake. The open water areas did have the same or slightly more loose wood in it that we have been experiencing for the last months. A few people were up on plane in the middle of the lake. I thought they were nuts! My prediction is next week to be cautiously navagitable, two weeks before the lake is back to its pre storms state. On a happier note, I threw out some lines in the top 10 to 30 feet just for the fun of it and caught two rainbows and a chunky laker. All came on a small purple spoon. Stay safe and keep a keen eye out for debris. Remember that Cayuga is under a no wake within 500 ft of shore restriction.
