Cayuga Lake out of Long Point State Park 4/28 – 4/30

4/28:  Guided Joe and his wife Melissa for a 1/2 day trip today.  In a nutshell, fishing was slow.  We had cloudy skies and very tentative fish for most of the day.  Bite-windows were not very intense for what it was worth.  Melissa was a...

Cayuga Lake out of Long Point 4/26 midday

Guided Larry and Jenn for a 1/2 day trip starting at 10 am.  We had a couple objectives for todays trip - one was to do some fly-casting with sinking heads, i.e., the type I use for lake trout, the other was to jig up...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 4/25 PM

Went out of Myers for the first time in a good month or more.   I got my 2013 Crestliner back from Silver Lake Marine and wanted to see how everything was running.  My alarm issue appears to be resolved.  My impeller fins got slightly warped...

Recap of Silver Lake Marine’s “Lake Life Celebration”

I had a good time at Silver Lake Marine's Lake Life Celebration last Saturday.  I wasn't sure how the turnout would be due to the cold, windy weather, but it was very good.  The area around Perry and Mount Morris really has the best characteristics...

Keuka Lake 4/9

Guided Mark I. here for a full-day.  Conditions weren't going to be ideal for what we wanted to do, which was fly-fishing for lake trout, but this was the best day for Mark to go.  The lake is currently high and surface temperatures ranged from...
