Cayuga out of Dean’s 10/7

Reports

Got out around 2 pm to check on the north end flats. I don’t usually jig lakers in the northern portion of Cayuga in the early fall much, but I’ve been meaning to see what was going on up there. I’ve heard of some recent trolling success with rainbows and landlockeds up here. I marked a few fish and some bait, but didn’t get many reactions. Finally landed a solid 28″ laker off Long Point. The fish was in 100′ of water and hammered a fluke. This fish was a spawned out female and was back on the feed again – stuffed with at least 4 alewives! Missed another fish or two, then I worked some hair jigs for perch. Caught a couple perch then headed in as it was getting dark. Water temps on top were around 61/62.
