Keuka Lake – 8/11 Out of Branchport

Illuminating day for me on Keuka Lake today. Just made it out for the late afternoon/evening bite. Spent some time jigging and hitting different marks out there. No grabs from bass but I was moving some fish. Tried searching for bait and lakers at Branchport...

Owasco Lake/Skaneateles Lake 8/10

Fantastic fishing on Owasco Lake today! Guided trip with Peter and Todd and the fish were aggressive! The guys wanted to learn the jigging technique and were able to witness first hand how effective it can be. I'm guessing at least 15 nice fish were...

Had a great time up at Lake Champlain with my tournament buddy Phil. What a lake! We chased gar on the fly on Sunday and found them right where I left them. The weeds were up a bit higher than before and the fish were...

Cayuga 7/26, 7/28, 7/30 + 7/31

Here's what's happening on Cayuga Lake: (No need for the "play by play" here!) In a nutshell the bass fishing had been unusually slow until 7/31. The bite finally got going today. We fished a "Big Water Bass Tournament" with 17 other boats. We had...

Cross Lake 7/18

Checked out Cross Lake looking for gar. We had a late start (2:30pm) and didn't see any at all as we slowly motored around the lake. We started bass fishing near the marina and my partner Phil caught a beauty - 21 1/2" largemouth! It...

Lake Champlain – Ticonderoga 7/20 + 7/21

I finally got a chance to fish the southern portion of Lake Champlain! Got a late start after I got off on Route 9N earlier than I should have and wasted a lot of time going through Lake George/Saratoga. Big mistake, but it was gorgeous....
