Cayuga Lake out of Long Point 4/26 midday

Guided Larry and Jenn for a 1/2 day trip starting at 10 am.  We had a couple objectives for todays trip - one was to do some fly-casting with sinking heads, i.e., the type I use for lake trout, the other was to jig up...

Cayuga Lake 4/20 AM

Guided Jon and his girlfriend Casey for a 1/2 day starting at 8 am.  We went with the early start in order to avoid the high winds forecasted for later in the morning.  Fishing pressure has been fairly light on the lake trout lately when...

Canandaigua Lake 4/17

Guided Randy and his friend John for a full day starting just after 9 am.  For most of the day, we were the only ones out on the lake fishing.  We had periods of rain for much of the day along with some showers.  The...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 4/1 midday

I had an alarm go off on my motor a few times over the past two months.  The first time was my trip with John on Keuka Lake.  I took it over to Silver Lake Marine a few weeks back and no faults showed up. ...

Cayuga Lake out of Long Point 3/30 midday

Had a very good day with Derrick and his son Aaron starting just after 10 am.  Only one other boat had gone out of Long Point today, although another half-dozen likely went out of Dean's.  First off, the water levels are about 2' below summer...

Canandaigua Lake 3/13 PM + Lake Ontario out of Oswego Harbor 3/14 PM

Cayuga Lake out of Long Point 3/4 midday

Got right back out on Cayuga Lake today with Jack, who has already joined me a couple of times this year, and his friend Jack, whom I'd never met before.  The "new" Jack owns a coffee shop and Jack brought me a chocolate croissant that...
