Cayuga 9/6 -- Saved Best Day of the Season for Last

[EarlyRiser]

Organized a trip with my fishing buddy Doug for this morning for what will likely be the last time I get to use the boat this year (lots of work and then archery season). Fished just the am today out of Myers and it was an awesome morning. We boated about 15-17 fish this morning, with 10 of them being quality fish -- heavy and good fighters. Caught a real nice salmon and a nice brown, plus a couple decent salmon and a bunch of really heavy lakers up to about 9 or 10 pounds. We kept one limit of fish, but released the rest. We also lost a couple good ones including a nice heavy fish that went airborne and then did some flips and got away. We got blown off the lake by noon with the fish stil biting, but didn't want to fight the wind and rain.

 

We caught more fish than that a couple times this year, but not the quantity of big fish like today and even the lakers were fighting hard today. Caught them on riggers, wire divers with spinnies, and copper, too. Nothing but a couple dink salmon on the leadcore today. White, orange, green, and firetiger all took nice fish for us. We were busy and had trouble keeping lines in the water, but it sometimes didn't matter -- at one point we boated a few back to back and were down to just one rod in the water and then it fired, too. Fun morning!

We're really looking to catch fish tomorrow and we're thinking about Cayuga because of O's small craft advisory.  We are pretty new to trolling and want to know how deep are the fish and how many fow are you fishing?  Thanks

[EarlyRiser]

about 60 was our best down depth today and we found fish from 65' of water out to about 180 fow.

Thanks very much for the info! We just hope to be at least half as successful as you!  Nice fish!

Saturday 9/6 was also an outstanding day, Sunday was good but not like Saturday. The most Quality fish We've caught all season very few small fish.  Looking forward to the last 333 and Barney & Bear's fall Derby. should be interesting.
