Seneca Lake out of Geneva 6/30

Guided Ryan, his son, aka "The Collinater" and Ryan's brother in-law Gary for a 6-hour trip.  I had some trepidations going into the trip today, but due to my full schedule this week, changing the date would not have worked.  We had the super-blow on...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 6/29 AM

Guided Bob and Joanie here for an abbreviated half-day trip starting around 7:30 am.  This was the only day they could fish, so I kept my eye on the weather and called them this AM.  Our window of decent weather looked to be from 6:30...

Owasco Lake 6/28 AM

Guided Kendra and her 9-year-old step-son Atlas for a 1/2-day trip today.  It was chilly this morning with air temperatures in the 50s.  Kendra had her winter jacket on!  It's certainly been a weird weather year, but lake temps are staying cooler than usual, at...

Cayuga Lake out of Long Point State Park 6/27 AM

I was back on Cayuga Lake today with my second and final trip of the season with the Mariano clan.  Today I had Steve, from Tuesday, his son Steve Jr., and grandson Matthew.  Matthew and Steve (Jr.) were out with me a few years back...

Cayuga Lake out of Long Point 6/26 AM

Guided Steve and Shelby for a 1/2-day trip starting just after 7 am.  The big blow of a couple of days ago really took care of whatever algae was starting to prosper.  The lake is very clear for this time of year.  I'm guessing there's...

Cayuga Lake out of Long Point 6/25 AM

Guided the Mariano clan for a 1/2 day trip starting just after 7:45 am.  I picked them up at their B & B down-lake. We had a very good bite to start today with some nice fish.  Sal led things off with the hot hand...

Cayuga Lake out of Long Point 6/24 AM

Guided Mike and his daughters Cassidy and Catelyn out of Long Point getting underway just after 7 am.  Mike's been renting places here for years and finally purchased some land on the lake that he's going to develop.  He likes booking me before his weeklong...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 6/22 AM

Guided Russell and his wife Audrey for a 1/2 day trip starting at 7:30 am.  I went over a lot of info with them about lake trout habits, locations and patterns before acquainting them with the tackle.  The lake was fairly flat with a light...

Keuka Lake 6/18 + Seneca Lake 6/19

First of all, the algae seems to be holding off on Cayuga Lake for now.  The inlet looked pretty discolored when I drove past it today, but the main lake still looks good and there is swimming going on at Taughannock Park and elsewhere. 6/18 Keuka...
