Oak 8/14/17 Launched by Black North at 5:45am. First king at 6:17am. That never happens to me. Boated 9 kings, 18lb, 16lb, 15lb, 12lb, and the rest around 5lb. Boated half dozen or so steelheads, biggest 9lb. 250fow and down 80'. 300 copper/dipsy never took a hit. Purple spoons was the ticket for us. The temps were crazy, one minute it was 48deg down 80 and the next it was 56 deg or more. Pulled out at 1pm. One of my best days this year.

Good deed at the Oak Fished the Oak on 8/1/17 and 8/2/17. Launched at ramp next to Black North. Thank you to the person(s) that wrapped carpet around those nasty iron pipes that hold the floating docks in place. Best trip to Lake Ontario yet this year. Caught many kings and steelhead between 350fow and 550fow. 300 copper dipsy caught the bigger ones. Biggest was 22lbs. Lots of 10-15 pounders. Orange spoons tended to get the steelies and green/purple tended to catch the Kings. All fish were caught between 50 and 90 feet down.

Fleas were bad but I've seen worse. Got out from 6am-11:30am on 7/27/17. Got soaked. Lots of bait and fish from 150- 190fow, never went past 190. Picked up a beautiful king, down 60 in 160fow. Wife got it all the way into the net when I hooked the net and yanked that spoon right out of its mouth. at 170fow the surface temp was 66deg and down 90 it was 49deg.

Oak 7/26/17 Greetings, Launched at the ramp next to Black North Inn at 6:20am on 7/26/17. Headed straight North set up in 150fow. Blank screen was the name of my game BUT when I hit 500fow the riggers at 90,80,70,60 began to hit, two times almost doubles (back to back), circled that area for 4 hours and had a nice steady bite of kings for the first hour we were there,in the 10-15 pound range (my estimate,no scale on board) and some screaming steelheads. The steady breeze we had died and so did the bite (for me). Back in at 2:30. Give it another shot in the morning. Great fun for about an hour, 4 kings and 3 steelhead. In 500fow temp was 45deg down 90, surface at 70deg.

Cayuga South End Tough day for me on Cayuga South End today 7/19/17. Launched at Treman at 6:15am. Headed to the west side to troll northbound. Blank screen FOREVER. Periods of debris that was a pain. Lots of fleas. Several snags on limbs. Dirty water. Boo hoo. I never had a hit. Never saw a fish check out my lures on my Lowrance. Picked up and ran North for a mile or so and set up again in spots that worked last time. Pulled out at 12:15. Kept riggers at 70-100 nearly all time because when I did see a fish on the screen it was in this range. Temp down 90ft was always around 45deg. 10 colors on my lead core, even threw out some Rapalas on a flatline. Used spoons of all colors, flies, spin docs, Dodgers, never got to the dipsies though. Did I mention I NEVER even got a hit? I'm gonna kick ass on them next time though. if you fished the south end today and caught fish I'd love to hear from you.

Nice day at the bar on Tuesday 5/16. Launched out of Ft Niagara at 6:30am, pulled out at 3pm. Wear your boots if you plan to launch here, not difficult just need boots. steady pick all day. 8 kings (biggest 21lbs), 5 steelheads. Saw most other boats landing fish as well. 130fow was best for us early and 80fow was best later. All spoons, all colors. Riggers down 65' and 10 color lead core.

Cayuga south end 5/10-17 Launched out of Treman at 8am. Surface temp at 46, down 100' was 45deg. Trolled west side. Great LL bite on orange spoons down 80' over 150fow. Picked 11 LL and 5 LT. Launch area looked great ( little debris ). Water is high but not an issue. Even took a few LL on thunder sticks off the boards.

X2!!

Cayuga South End 4/21 South end of Cayuga was loaded with debris this morning, grass, leaves, and branches. There are also some pretty good size logs floating around. Did not even think of deploying the boards, lines on the downriggers kept popping due to the debris. The ramps at Treman were clogged with debris as well.

Sodus boat launch docks For anyone that would like to know: the public launch on Sodus Bay, next to Arney's Marina, now has the docks in place.

Sodus boat launch I've searched previous posts but have not found the answer to my question. Are the boat docks in place at the public launch next to Arney's Marina on Sodus Bay? thanks for info.

Lodging/Marina Wilson NY I would appreciate any information on the lodging and Marina services in Wilson New York. Planning to fish the bar this year out of Wilson. I would prefer to keep the boat in the water at a marina with lodging nearby But can always pull out and launch. Thanks for any info.

My spoons, flashers, and flies never touched the water. All fish were caught on small (less than 3") sticks off the planer boards. Sticks with an orange belly were the champs but the laker came on a chartreuse color jointed rapala.

Cayuga 2/28/17 Launched out of Treman this morning with my Fishmaster 196. No problems with the lake being a little low. Once I got away from the docks the water never got less than 4.5 feet all the way out to the lake. set up and trolled the east side to Myers pt. , turned around and trolled back. Picked up 10 small (9-11 inch) LL, 3 nice LL (20+ inches) and 1 Laker (in 8 feet of water!). Wind picked up at 1:00 and we headed in.

Yowza!!!! I know what your problem is(maybe)!!! I bet you are running a Mercury outboard, probably 2 stroke???
