Managed to get the critical rods & gear out of the Islander and into the little boat today. Awful lot of hunting and other stuff to do but I'm one step closer to prime time FLX action!
-
Nice going guys! I'd stay on it but family,farming,working, waterfowl, and getting sorted for bow,turkey and pheasant just doesn't leave enough time to not pull the plug on something. We'll be back on the Finger lakes Atlantics by Xmas. Hammered the geese Sunday am, firing up the smoker this morning... -
Launched at Port Ontario and cycled thru our way points to no avail running an assortment of stuff on the riggers and wires. 65 degree water to the bottom. Marked bait and fish but almost all fish were closely associated with bottom. My sense was the fish were negative but I don't usually fish after Labor day so there is probably much I don't know. It was just rough enough for our little 19' Islander that heading in was a relief. Picked up some terminal tackle and odds and ends at All Seasons and went home with our tail between our legs, drained the I/O and swapped the kicker over to the winter boat. Time to hunt...

Fish were aggressive and right out front. Whacked & stacked em'. Seneca special/ sweet pea combo was the hottest ticket off the wires out 250' in 130FOW. Hated to leave but gotta get 3rd cutting done!

Started out at our waypoints from yesterday out around the 27-29 line but only got a couple steelies for our trouble. Worked our way back in and got a nice screen around 160 and bang we were doubled up. Boated a couple good ones and noodle our way into 110 and doubled again eventually losing a massive King, during the chinese fire drill, that powered past the boat and then dived back thru a wire- what an awesome thrill to see what these fish are capable of !! Finished off the box and headed back to the inlaws. Gonna see if we can get some walleyes harvested tomorrow and then we'll back at it Thursday.

Left after work last nite and rolled into the parking lot at 11:30. Had a pretty good sleep and a decent breakfast around the corner where we ran into Jason. Headed out and set up at the 25 line and dropped a couple on wires right off the bat. Settled into a fairly steady pick of adolecents and majors on the 400 coppers off spoons, couple steelies on the riggers down 80-90. We did lose a lot of fish compared to what I'd like to think of as normal. Boxed out and off to the inlaws at 11:00 am, a bit bumpy coming in. Back at it tomorrow!

Will be there tomorrow am. Thanks for post! -Andy

Launched at Myers. Crossed the lake to 250FOW, great screen.Set up w/ mag wires out 180, riggers at 110 - 80, no hits on a diagonal from T-falls to the plant.Crossed from the plant to west side where we worked 80-200 back & forth-nothing. Got out the boards and put out a mag echip green dolphin spoon on the 400' copper and that line took one fish right after another. Wires remained dead rest of the morning. Took a couple fish on another mag dolphin on the 84' rigger and 1 on blue/silver spinny/fly rigger at 90'.. Popped a few LLs on slide diver pulling a red/silver honeybee.

Bill, congrats! I'm coming back next year to bring that cup back home though -
Finally went up and got my 16' out of Hank's way! Since we were there Elliot & I dropped her in and went out to look for kings. We found a spoon bite in 80-100 FOW down 70 (temp 50-55). As usual our best spoon was the Yecks green thunder glow. Wires were dead for us.

Won't be able to be there.Taking the week before off to fish at the Oak.

I have only fished Cayuga 4x this year so far. Trip 1 & 2 were in early to mid may, fish were active on most presentations, w/ spoons prefered (stomach contents were normal). Then I fished Barney's and again Fri 5/31. Barney's and 5/31 the fish mood seemed negative w/ no ff hits on the wires (stomach contents were slim).Fri spoons down 30 over 60-90 fow on slide divers and short cores took the only hits. Fish came on yeck boy/girl, and honey bee lake champlain style red and silver.
-
Forgot to mention, stomach content was zip.

Wound up smacking a couple of nice salmon right at the end of the adventure. Both on honeybees off slide divers down approx 30' over 60-80 fow just S of T-falls. For us the fish mood seemed negative today- no wire diver hits, no rigger hits (despite long leads). 3 fish came on 5-6 color cores and 4 on the the slide divers w/ 50' leads, all fish were on spoons. There is substantially more bait in 80-50 fow than there was 2 weeks ago. Surface temp 52-62. Marked good concentrations of lakers and "active" looking arches around bait but a slow bite for us.
