Cayuga Lake out of Taughannock Park 8/7
Guided Liza for 1/2 day today. Her husband Paul bought her the trip – nice guy! He’ll be out with me later this week. Young children can make getting out as a couple difficult!
I was very optimistic regarding our prospects this AM after lakers really started turning on last night. We started at 6 am, but the fishing really got going around 7:30 to 8. First fish she got was a 17″ laker that we released. But her second was a 31″9 1/2lb beauty. Great fight – these fish really pull in order to stay in the cold deep water. Then she hooked and landed a fat brown – a 27″ fish that pushed 10lbs! The condition (length to weight ratio) of these fish is tremendous! A few more lakers were landed for a total of 6 lakers and one brown. 75′ to 85′ of water did the trick. We used an assortment of plastics. It was nice seeing all the jiggers near AES. The ones I knew and talked to were all doing well and catching fish.
