Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 8/15

The last couple days have been "take kids fishing" days!  The average age of the four kids I had out yesterday and the day before was 9-years-old.  (I'm writing this report on the day after my trip on 8/14.)  I often get asked what age...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 8/13 AM

Guided Tiernan and two of his daughters, 9 year old Isadore (nickname pronounced "Esa") and 8 year old Simone.  Originally he was going to bring along a couple of older kids, but they backed out.  He reassured me that his daughters could fish.  He was...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 8/11 + 12 AM Trips

Fishing was a bit more challenging over the past couple of trips.  Yesterday provided some good fishing for the most part, but today's bite windows were shorter and the fishing a bit tougher. 8/11:  Guided Dan and his friend George today starting just after 7:30 am. ...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 8/10 AM

Guided George and his sons, George Jr. and Andrew, for what has become an annual trip for quite a few years now.  George has a place on Keuka Lake and we were first out there years ago before his boys were both old enough to...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 8/9

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happier making the 10 minute drive to Myers Park for a day on Cayuga Lake, as opposed to the 50 minute drive to fish Sampson State Park.  Cayuga does feel more like home, at least in August. ...

Skaneateles Lake 8/6

Guided Tony and Pete for a full-day on Skaneateles Lake.  They've been fishing various waterways throughout the area with mixed results.  I talked to Tony and thought that Skaneateles Lake would be the best bet for them to learn.  I showed them the entire lake...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 8/4 + 8/5 (AM)

Guided a full-day yesterday and a half-day trip today. Fishing was slower for us on lake trout, although we spent half of yesterday's full-day trip targeting bass. 8/4:  Guided a full-day with Mark I.  We started just after 7:30 AM targeting lake trout.  We found good...

Cayuga Lake out of Taughannock State Park 8/3 AM

Guided Lisa and Alex today for a 1/2-day trip starting at 7:30 am.  Winds were forecasted to crank up out of the northwest to over 20 mph (and I've seen that movie before and know how it ends...) so I decided that it was better...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 7/31 AM

Guided Drew for a half-day trip starting just after 7:30 am.  Drew's come out with me for a long time and we usually fish Cayuga Lake.  We started on Keuka Lake years ago, had a slow trip on Seneca and have been on Cayuga ever...

Owasco Lake 7/23, Seneca Lake 7/24, Cayuga Lake 7/25 + 26

Jigging for lake trout and occasional bonus fish (rainbows, browns and salmon) is in full-swing now in the Finger Lakes region.  Seneca Lake is providing the best lake trout jigging.  Cayuga Lake is now in prime shape as well with good water clarity and plenty...
