Keuka Lake/Branchport 9/25

Spent the day fishing with John Sander. Not a particularly nice day weather-wise with south winds gusting to around 22 mph. We found good schools of baitfish up at the north end of the Branchport arm. John hooked what appeared to be a decent fish...

Cayuga out of Taughannock 9/19

Short 2 1/2 hour mid-morning outing. I just wanted to see what the situation was out on Cayuga. Lots of lakers are still around, pretty much all over the place. I caught a few fish in around 70' to 120'. Relatively few fish have moved...

Cayuga Lake out of Taughannock 9/6 = WOW!

Absolutely superb fishing today. No two ways about it. Lakers are ridiculously thick around the Taughannock area and north. I mean ridiculous! I couldn't believe the sheer volume of "hooks" I was marking today - 13, 14, 15 fish on the screen at a time!...
