Cayuga Lake out of Long Point 3/24 pm
Guided Garry and his wife Ethel for a 1/2 day afternoon trip on Cayuga Lake targeting lake trout on the jig. Fishing was very good with around 8 or 9 nice lakers landed. Lakers ran from 17″ to 28″ long. Despite the bad year for lamprey eels in 2012, these fish were in very good to excellent condition with most fish completely void of lamprey hits/scars. The fish are starting to feed heavily, though I didn’t mark much bait.
Fish ran from 125′ out to 168′. Ethel nailed one just off the bottom in 168′ – that’s a DEEP fish! The launch is in good shape and the water level wasn’t too low. Now’s the time for some of the best laker action of the year. They feed all day long! We were the only boat on the water!
