Tags, tags and more tags!

No, this isn't about tagging fish - it's about this website.  Over the past year, you may have noticed green "tags" at the bottom of my reports.  Most of you probably know, that with a WordPress website like this, I can tag articles/reports as reference...

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...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 10/28

Guided a half day trip with Rob and Chloe targeting pike. Despite the light rain and cold temps this morning at 8 am when we met at the park, the weather moderated and it turned into a very pleasant day on the lake. Fishing was...

Otisco Lake 10/29, Owasco Lake 10/30, Seneca Lake 10/31 am, 11/1

Fishing is in tip-top shape throughout the region. Lots of species are active, colors are still nice and waterways are seeing very little pressure. It's tough to top mid-fall fishing in the FL Region! As most of you know, I guide throughout the winter weather-depending....

Seneca Lake/Sampson 6/10 + Cayuga out of Dean’s 6/11

6/10 Sampson AM Trip: Did a full-day with Jeff and Jon. I gave these guys a freebie; last fall they booked a weekend with me and my Ford Ranger's clutch decided not to work, so I had to cancel both trips. We started at 6:30...

Cayuga out of Dean’s 5/22

After yesterday's slow fishing I almost called Jack and Tom and moved our scheduled trip over to Seneca Lake. But the weather pattern was changing to a low pressure (warm front) system and the fish have been around for weeks - they just need to...

Seneca Lake out of Watkins 11/14

Well I'm glad I didn't pay attention to the weather forecasts today. It's amazing how a slight variation in wind direction can make a HUGE difference in lake conditions. The south end of Seneca was very fishable today despite the dire wind predictions. I've been...
