Keuka Lake out of Branchport 11/29
Guided Florian and Ellyssa, two NYC residents who’d never fished before. We met around 10:30 am for our 1/2 day. They picked up the jigging technique without many problems and wound up landing 8 legal lakers. I cleaned a limit and found that some fish had spawned, some were likely still spawning and some were pre-spawn. I marked LOADS of lakers, so many I took a photo of my depthfinder – just crazy amounts of hooks!
I did some jigging after the trip and picked up a nice 18″ smallmouth on bottom in around 60′ to 80′ of water! I also caught a few perch on minnows in the hour and a half I had after the trip. Water levels are low; I think the temp was around 48/49. Beautiful day out there!
