Seneca Lake

Seneca/Cayuga Lake 11/27

Took a drive up to the north end of Seneca Lake today hoping for some pike action. The winds were supposed to be very light (4 mph) out of the south. Yeah, right! Had some good waves just to start but my friend Eric and...

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...

Seneca Lake Lodi Report 10/2

Got out around 1 pm by myself just to learn a few new stretches of lake a bit better and see what's happening on the mighty Seneca Lake. There are still plenty of green milfoil beds all over the perimeter of Seneca. This stuff is...

Seneca Lake out of Watkins 9/13

Fished Seneca from around noon till 7pm. This lake is absolutely FULL of milfoil! I've never seen the weeds up like this on Seneca. I'd had some complaints from homeowners/cottage owners I'd met over at Bass Pro Shops. Saw a lot of bait fish and...

Sodus Bay/Lake Ontario/Seneca Lake 6/20

Started out today at Sodus Bay hoping for some drum/gar action. Bay temps dropped wickedly since last week. We had 68 today whereas last week the temp was into the 80s. Didn't see any drum in the bay so I shot out into the lake....
