Got blown off the lake by noon. Wind forecast for 6/25 doesn’t look good at all. probably going to bag the fishing for tomorrow and wait for a nicer day.

Arrived and launched at noon on 6/23. Set up in 150fow and headed north. Scattered marks. Hooked up in 285fow. I’m sure it was a nice king but it was short lived. No idea why but my rod broke in half!! Tried the old hand lining but that lasted 3.5s at which point I lost my spin doc and mag green/black spoon. Then I got my copper line tangled in one of the rigger lines. The current was very strong. My Lowrance gave me a ground speed of 3.2 while my fish hawk down 90 was 2.0. If you are out Of Fair Haven on 6/24 or 6/25 give me a shout, fishmaster 196, on channel 68. If I am catching I’ll let you know where. Launching NLT 5:30am.

Yowza!!!! That’s not for me. I prefer fewer boats.

Pulled into the ramp area next to Black North Inn at 6:45am,,,,, not a single trailer in the parking lot. I immediately thought the water must be too low to launch. Fortunately there is plenty of water at this ramp. Fished until 3pm and never saw more than 5 boats. picked up 3 lakers in 175fow then a small king in 150fow. Lost another 4 fish, and a spoon, over the course of the day. never saw what looked like a charter boat either. In175fow and down 90 water temp was 41 deg. Surface temp 52.

My go to launch is in Sodus Bay next to Arnie’s Marine. Last time I was there was on 3/21/21 and the water was way too low to launch. The launch next to the Coast Guard Station was blocked with construction equipment. anybody launch there recently? thanks

3/21/21 Read a post the other day that the ice on Sodus was nearly gone. Did the 2.5 hour trek up and discovered the water at the end of the dock ( ramp next to Arnies)is no more than 6 inches deep. You couldn’t even launch a canoe there without hitting bottom. Still a fair amount of ice around the Krenzer launch. And yes, the ramp next to the Coast Guard station is still closed.

Thanks! I have two of these batteries.

Treman is fine. I launched my Fishmaster 196 at Treman last week. I use this site for water levels on Cayuga. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis/uv?cb_62614=on&format=gif_default&site_no=04233500&period=45&begin_date=2018-10-04&end_date=2018-10-24

Thanks for the Sodus report.

Thanks for the report. Much appreciated.

Same with us. Blank screen. Trolled from 6:30am until 1:00pm from 50fow out to 230fow. Surface temps steady at 54deg. Down 70’ temp was 41 deg. Did I mention blank screen? we were tickled pink to hook a steelhead and landed 1 laker. But man was it a beautiful day on the lake.

Launched at 6:30am and pulled out at 2pm. Tried in close for browns for first 2 hours. Stayed in 20-30 fow. Had 3 hits but missed them. Moved out into 100-160fow and picked up 3 lakers on riggers/spoons. Very little to look at on screen. But man was it a beautiful day on the water. Water temp wanted to stay at 46.8 deg and 41deg down 90’. We did find some 50deg water straight out from the inlet. We thought it would be crowded being the start of memorial day weekend but it was not.

Looking for bucktail jigs from 1/4 to 1 oz. Let me know what you have.
