[Nautitroller]

Anyone got the water temps? Girl friend said she saw a big silver fish jump next to shore in Geneva. Lol pack the boat up let's go.

55-56 on top with a funky current headed south...

Gotta work. Everyone that is seasonal is leaving next couple weeks. Time to pound out the trim jobs. Hopefully Sunday will be good day.

[burrows24]

Let's hope Sunday will be I plan on being on the south end Sunday

[FishingTheFL]

Pretty nice on the west side today. Not marking much and so far no bait. West side Sampson, almost to power plant

[burrows24]

We just passed the tiki bar heading back towards Watkins where we marked fish before sun rise

[FishingTheFL]

Had yo pull off Seneca, started to get pretty wicked by the barge. Going to try the north end later

[burrows24]

Ha-ha we just came off to get lunch

[FishingTheFL]

Lol that's my other excuse.

Guys past Sampson sounded like they were struggling to get fish too... I wanna know what they are eating and where all the bait went lol

We marked a ton of bait just couldn't make anything happen

[Nautitroller]

FLTA tourney today 15 or so boats, Only two bows weighed in! We fished around Glenora and found 38.5 degree water on top just North of there, every where else was 52. We caught one short salmon and had a good one on briefly on the rigger. Toughest fishing I have ever seen on that lake.

Just got off the north end... nadda bite from 10fow out to 130ft. Fished boards with spoon and stick baits over 40fow marked a few fish. Got to the drop off and nothing unless your out in 130fow.

Going to throw the towel in on Seneca till something starts happening.

Decent number Lakers tight to bottom north of Long Point at 75 to 110 fow drop off. Spent most of my time in shallow water after pike. Nothing doing. Just do not seem to be able to get pike to cooperate this year. Bummer.

[FishingTheFL]

Try Lodi. They were all over the north side of Lodi. Husky Jerks worked best. Cayuga has a bunch pike hitting in the north end. If you head out Dean's cove and head north to the east side. Over by the channel markers.

[burrows24]

Well so far I think cann is my go to lake till Seneca kicks off I've done better over there then I did on Seneca lol

[guff]

Thanks FTF. Really zeroing in on area north of Long Point, I line up with the Navy research vessel and cream colored mc mansion on the west shore. Say on the pike action near Lodi. How do you keep your Husky Jerks from fouling up with weeds? Do you only fish it in the top 2 feet of water maybe?

[FishingTheFL]

In close around 15 fow casting on rock structure. Catch jumbos perch the same way. Some times when weeds are bad I use original floaters. Also 6lbs test for casting gives up the extra distance and really makes you fight them.

6 lb. line for pike sounds light even with a leader.  I like using 10-15 lb. braid.  Can still cast pretty far.  Fish over the weeds or just outside the weedline. 

 

Good luck Al!  Have your tried the weedbeds near Sampson?   

[FishingTheFL]

Tis very light. I usually peel 10 foot off every 2 or 3 fish. I'll lose one now and then but hey that's fishing... I always stop the lure for couple seconds before lifting out of the water. I've caught them right at the boat.

Going to try jigging over on the west side where th Lakers were... if it isn't 3ft waves again lol

[guff]

Thanks FTF. I had luck jigging with white tube. Yes Alec. I have tried Sampson 4 or 5 times this year with no luck. Going to hit Keuka tomorrow to see if Lakers are hungry yet. If they are would you want to try some jigging next week if weather is fishable ? I will be hitting deer woods after that so may not be fishing for a while if deer are uncooperative.

[FishingTheFL]

If you fish Cayuga, the very north end had active Lakers. Caught 5 in a couple ours plus a bunch rainbows. I'm not giving up on Seneca yet... I'm ready for a fish dish tho.

[hermit]

Hey Al, hope it was a good day!  That sounds great, I can probably find time next week, shoot me an email later this week or over the weekend or something.  

[guff]

Good laker jigging on the Branchport end of Keuka in 70-110 fow last Tuesday. 7 in 2.5 hours. Sent you an e-mail Alec.--- FTF. Did you try Seneca near Long Point? Any good news?
