Skaneateles Lake 10/2 PM

Got out here on my own for around 4 hours this afternoon.  The lake level is low, but not as low as it was last year at times.  The surface temperature was around 67 degrees.  These cold nights won't cool the lake much with daytime highs...

Keuka Lake Fishery Updates

I've had a chance to talk with some DEC personnel over the past week or two since both warm and cold water nettings were conducted in the lake back in late-July and early-August.  I get a lot of the same questions from anglers who live...

Oneida Lake 7/16

Guided Scott here today for a full-day trip getting underway around 7 am.  As most of you know, I'm not an Oneida Lake guide, but Scott enjoys trying different places and having me show him around.  We had a spectacular day on Lake Ontario jigging...

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...

Skaneateles Lake 9/10 PM

Got out on Skaneateles Lake this afternoon for a little bit of relaxation, and fishing of course.  I really enjoy fishing this lake during the off-season.  Leaves are starting to change and fall is in the air.  Fishing for bass was slow today, likely due...

Oneida Lake 7/9 PM

Got out here for some fishing with my buddy Todd.  He had never caught a walleye before, so that was one of today's goals.   A few wrapped bass boat rigs were at the launch today, so a few pros were enjoying the Oneida Lake bass...

Skaneateles Lake 5/9 PM

Got out to Skaneateles Lake today for close to 6 hours of fishing starting at 12:30 pm.  Only a few anglers were out there today - the parking lot was mostly empty.  DEC hasn't had a lot of success with their spring pre-spawn walleye nettings. ...

Keuka Lake out of Keuka Lake State Park 12/14

Got out here on my own just after noon.  Water levels on Keuka Lake are pretty low, so I had to wait a little while to use the ramp that I wanted to, due to some guys unloading a working barge.  I was in no...

Skaneateles Lake 5/3 PM + Cayuga Lake 5/4, 5/5 AM

Weather was fairly miserable by most people's standards early this week.  We had highs in the 40s and low 50s along with scattered showers, thunderstorms and even some hailstorms.  Most of Sunday's heavy rain went to the east of us.  Some areas had 3"+.   We...

Skaneateles Lake 4/23 PM

My clients and I decided to cancel our scheduled weekend trips due to the heavy winds forecast for Saturday.  I was looking forward to laker jigging Cayuga on Saturday and then Seneca on Sunday.  Sunday (i.e., today) wound up being a nicer day than forecast. ...
