Cayuga Dean\’s Sunday July 24

Guide trip today with Alec. The lakers and thermocline in Cayuga have both moved deeper. We found good marks and bait in 60' to 90' of water. Some very aggressive and competitive fish with upwards of 4 fish chasing Alec's jig at once. Alec caught...

Cayuga Lake Dean\’s Cove 7/16 + 7/17

7/16 - Today was a guide trip with Matt and his brother Mikah (hope I spelled that right!). Pretty good southerly wind to start and it would only get stronger. Nice chop, overcast and sultry out this morning. Things got off to a very good...

Cayuga Lake 7/11 and 7/12

7/11 Out of Taughannock: Just got out for a few hours checking out the bass fishing around Rocky Dock. Nothing great happening there for me. Went to Millican and picked up some smallies, but no great shakes. Lots of drum around and even a gar...

Cayuga out of Dean\’s 6/5

Guide trip "repeat" with Chris and Mike. Jigging for lakers on Cayuga was good to excellent in the morning and evening with just a mid-day lull in the action. Bait and lakers are swarming in 15' to 40' of water along the lake's shelves. Our...

Cayuga Lake 5/31 out of Taughannock

Had a guide trip today mostly spent fly-fishing for pike. In a nutshell the pike fishing was slow. Joel did manage his first pike ever, a hard fighting 29" fish on a streamer. We worked the east and west shores. We spotted some fish hovering...
