Cayuga Lake 3/27 + Canandaigua 3/28
Cayuga 3/27: The original plan was for me to hit Canandaigua today and my buddy Mike to fish Cayuga, then we'd compare notes. Winds were forecast as light and variable originally, but on 3/27 AM the weather people predicted 10 to 15 mph out of...

Canandaigua Lake 11/12
I hadn't fished Canandaigua in mid-November before, so my buddy Mike and myself shot out there today, arriving at 7:30 am. It was cold outside! We worked some shelves for smallmouth bass. My hot area from the last couple months held up OK, with some...

Canandaigua Lake 10/6
I'm really "attacking" this lake this fall. It's been great. After fishing I get to stop at a Panera Bread or Mac's Cheesesteaks and stuff my face! Today I worked another "alien area" as well as one of the spots I found Friday. Fishing was...

Canandaigua Lake 9/24
I fished Canandaigua today from 11 am till around 4 pm. I found good number of lakers today in the central/southern portion of the lake in 75' of water. Fishing was fairly good - I lost 4 or 5 decent fish after I thought I'd...

Canandaigua Lake 9/16
I finally really hit the late-summer/early fall lake trout jigging bite on this lake. I've always liked the lake but due to heavy boat traffic I generally avoid it during the summer months. I was impressed by the fishing I had today and will return...
