Reports

Guided Dave and his brother Bob for around 4 hours on Keuka Lake this AM. We started around the bluff area at around 6:15 am. Fishing was quite good and it didn’t take long before we had a few fish in the boat. The wind came up out of the north around 9 am and picked up some velocity. Lakers kept hitting. We managed to boat 5 nice fish up to 26 1/2″. 3 or 4 fairly solid hookups were lost. Lakers can be tough to keep on the line when using heavy jigs and spoons. The fish often come up to the surface and shake their heads like a walleye. Add that with a drifting boat and fish will get off. Around 10:30 I dropped Bob off and we picked up his wife Linda. Unfortunately by 11 am the fish pretty much shut down. We never had another solid hit despite giving it our all. We worked a few different areas including some deep water. Fish just weren’t budging! We found 48 degree water at 75′ and that’s where many of our fish were, though we did mark some fish up high and had hits close to the boat.
