Cayuga Lake out of Cayuga State Park 5/27

Guided the 1/2 day with Matt and his wife Erin - both up from the DC area. Matt enjoys the pickerel fishing a lot, so that's what we did. Fishing was OK - not bad but not great. Around 5 to 6 were landed - including a couple good fish. The best fish of the day was an unexpected 18.5" smallmouth that crushed a spinnerbait. Great fight! Lots of perch were around along with sunfish and a rockbass or two. Carp were spawning and thrashing around the boat launch. Fish came on scroungers w/superflukes, swimbaits and Rat-L-Traps. Weedgrowth really varies on the N. end of Cayuga - some shallow bays are relatively weed-free, whereas other areas feature heavier growth. Action today never got hot 'n heavy but was pretty steady. Water temps were in the 60s.
