Keuka/Branchport 5/9 + Cayuga/Taughannock 5/10
Well I'm fishing more often than I thought I'd be, but I ain't complainin' ;-) Keuka Lake 5/9: Checked out Keuka Lake for pike/pickerel/lakers/landlockeds. Obviously couldn't do a thorough job on all those species, but I did find some lakers down around 60' near the marina...

Cayuga – Shorefishing Report 4/28
Well I've had a tough week of "not fishing" thanks to nasty winds compounded with a run-in with Bambi on Route 89 a few nights ago, so off to Taughannock I went for some shorefishing/wading with my pal Shahab. We started around 1:30 pm and...

Seneca Lake/Watkins Glen 4/20
No great shakes to report today. Checked out the Watkins area for salmon and didn't find them. Also looked for lake trout jigging areas - found some good ones, but no lakers! Lake level is high. Some debris, but overall in good condition. Water temps...
