Keuka Lake out of Penn Yan 6/4
Fished Keuka Lake out of Penn Yan with my buddy Terry starting at around 10:30 am. I hadn't open water fished this lake since last spring when I jigged a few lakers out of Branchport. With Lake Ontario being at floodstage we've been setting our...

Cayuga Lake 7/28 – 30
Guiding has kept me super-busy in July, and August will be more of the same. I've had to work extra-hard to make up for lost time due to the poor weather and slow fishing in May, along with the harsh winter. So needless to say,...

Canandaigua Lake out of Woodville 3/22
I enjoy fishing Canandaigua Lake on occasion. It's a good drive for me, but it's very quiet during the "off-season" and the lake trout there are lean and exceptional eating. I brought gear for Seneca Lake salmon, but after seeing the dead calm conditions on...

Cross Lake/Seneca River 6/25
Got out with my buddy Jarrod for a nice long day on this system. We brought gear for panfish, catfish and bass/pike and figured we'd just see how things played out. According to the homeowners we talked to, the lake had been flooding for most...

Otisco Lake 5/11 + Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 5/12
Otisco Lake 5/11: I didn't fish this lake at all last year and the time seemed right to give it a go, especially with the high water levels on Cayuga. I was finally able to coordinate a fishing day with my friend Eric (who's seen...

Cayuga Lake out of Dean’s Cove 4/29
Got out with my buddy Jarrod for our annual "No-Crappie trip" on Cayuga. This time we added in channel catfish as another fish not to be caught. We fished from around 2 pm till 6:30, spending 2 hours or so crappie fishing and the remainder...

Canandaigua Lake out of Woodville 4/15
I had a day off, so it was time to check on Canandaigua Lake for lakers. I've been chomping at the bit to get out here since I got my deep jigging gear set up and my Lowrance HDS-5. Last year I tried for deep...
