Well how about Keyuka lake? Long time ago was a smelt and big laker lake with other trout species being caaught frequently. 10 to 15 years ago was a lots of 5 - 8 pounders and alwives only, no smelt. Now the little lakers ( rarely over 23 inches) are eating perch. what happened there. Ten years ago there were two ice fishing season in a row where you could walk out to the bluffs then the next year the big flood, what effect did they have? We fish it because we don't like the bigger water but in 20 years what a change.......jk

Fished there yesterday and the water clarity was poor, could only see the lure four feet down. Those fish don't move in those conditions and we caught none. But the bas were biting. I think they might get vertigo or are so far sighted that they can't orientate themselves and freeze in one spot. So stopped and had an ice cream on the way home........jk

Still fun to fish there, we only have a small boat and the owner does not like bigger water. It is fishing and catching and fun. Oh we only jig.......jk

Got to see herring (Alewife) spawning runs on cape cod
jk1 replied to schreckstoff's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Bring a fishing rod with 20 pound test, I used to live there for a year and the stripers will follow and they fight good too. Right from the rocks you can get 20pound fish easily. Not fussy about lures or bait and they are delicious fish, you will see them swirl, cast to the fish. Of course that was 40 or more years ago. But if you have bait like that something is there to eat it.......jk -

I am running a 1977 Johnson 15 on a 14 foot Grumman. I got when I was over seas and had it delivered to a dealer near my house. I never saw it for two years. Still runs great. Use it on the finger lakes and in Canada---well I used to use in it in Canada. Haven't been there in a few years now. I just got a 10 year old used 9.9 4 cycle Merc but have not used it yet.....jk

Special experiences on the water while fishing
jk1 replied to rolmops's topic in Open Lake Discussion
A group of us charted two boats (about 20 years ago), Capt Lenard Something and a Capt from Pa the other. In the boat I was in was a young guy and his Dad on his Dad's last fishing trip. Well Dad pooped in his pants after a beer or two and we washed him off and his dirty pants somehow got dropped into the water. 30 minutes later the other boat with our buddys said(on walkie talkies then) "you will never guess what we caught" Well we guess it right away. There were boats scattered everywhere that day and they got his pants on a line......jk -

Keuka - suggestions on jigging for lake trout
jk1 replied to BigBoreBrian's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
When we see only one fish we throttle up the motor fast on a tight turn and that sometime (most times) bring the rest of the herd into view on the TV. We live on the TV someone is always reading it to the others. The hard hits to tell are when you are pounding bottom with the jig, they seem to try to push it futher into the bottom. Makes a weird hit = set the hook. Lots of bumpies on every trip. we have only snagged up maybe once a year so dont worry about the bottom....jk -
Keuka - suggestions on jigging for lake trout
jk1 replied to BigBoreBrian's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Oh white tube jigs(by Getis) is most common in our boat. But paddle tails and Berkley minnows of white color with florescent green or what ever tails also are common. I always try something different on our boat like the metal baits and rapapl ice fishing jigs. Reread guff's, chowder's and Gator post again and again. /try everything and see what works for you. A lot of GOOD info from some good fisherman there.......jk -
Keuka - suggestions on jigging for lake trout
jk1 replied to BigBoreBrian's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
We fish there a lot. Use 1ounce jigs mid day. In the mornings you can use the 1/2 ounce jigs as they are shallow or use any thing you mentioned. Blade baits, jig rapalas, and cleos all will work. The fish are small, a 24 incher is a decent fish. We start at day lite in shallow and once they scatter we go to 100 feet. I think we might be missing something that deep but it is not my boat and we do get a slow steady bite there and a lot of bumbies. Up near the state launch and down at the bluff (where the two parts join). You will see little bait. I have no idea what happened to the ciscos that they stocked maybe the lakers ate too many.......jk -
Yes great show and as he said thanks for all the work you must put into it......jk

Land lock or brown?.. I mean goby or sculpin
jk1 replied to Roys Boys's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Hay Billtown, I am in Warrensville. I jig, not a fan of trolling. Have a small 14 foot grumman utility that some one on here called trailer trash = so that is what we call it. we go up every week but to Keyuka to catch the small lakers to eat. Many friends have bigger boats up to 17 foot, but are small style and my buddy do not like the bigger waters. So it is Keyuka for us......jk
