Cayuga 8/23

[hermit]

PCPete picked me up just after 6 and we blasted up to the power plant area.  Started off in 70'-72' with bait and fish, not real active first thing but when it got a little lighter they woke up.  After an hour or so went out to 80' and stayed there all morning.  

 

We did all our damage more or less parked in one spot with the amazing anchor lock feature on the trolling motor.  Ice Shad Shakers got most of them for me with a few other colors too.  Pete got some on white Super Flukes. After 10 we started poking around a few other spots for variety, including near Taughannock, with a little luck and a couple more fish but it wasn't as good as further north.  Put 16 in the boat including one double.  Some good ones to start around 8 lbs then they started getting a little smaller.  I think Pete went the other way and started catching bigger fish later though.  

 

All in all a good average size (better than the last few years I think, but I haven't been out enough this year to really tell) and only one lamprey.  Most fish were clean with only a few scars.  Finally, THANKS PETE!  This was my first jigging trip of the year... yikes... and it was great to be out there whupping on some lakers again!

Was a great trip for sure. 

Here are the few pics that came out decent. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All fish are very alive so getting a good picture proved difficult. 

 

The two I am in are the same fish, the pics taken either had the fish looking good and my head cut off or the fish looking bad and my head present. 

 

I also learned alot about how to improve my technique (thanks Hermit!)
