Keuka Lake 9/22
I’ve been guiding/fishing all over the region lately. Today I did a full day with Bill aka BC. I’d done some bluefishing/striper fishing in the past with him and hadn’t seen him in at least 6 or 7 years. He wanted to get better with his electronics as well as get some lakers. Fishing started slow at 6:15 am. There are lakers in all the usual areas. My best fall action on this lake over the past couple years has been midday. I think the sunlight penetration is better at this time; those bluffs prevent a lot of AM sunlight from reaching the depths – just a theory. BC landed 3 fish by noon, and dropped at least 3 others that he had momentarily. He did some casting for smallmouths and picked up one around 13″. I took a few casts and caught one slightly smaller on a Super Fluke. We did find some decent fish during our hour or two of bass casting – during one cast he had at least 2 to 4 BIG smallies come out for his X-rap. Bait numbers were OK at Hammondsport and sparse elsewhere. H2O was around 68/69.
