Wanted to create this post to see when does the shore bite tend to pick up on Seneca and Cayuga? I do remember reading a previous thread saying March can be good, but wasnt sure when in late fall/early winter does one have a shot at Landlocks, Browns and even Lakers? I live 4-4.5 hrs so looking to maximize my drive time. Also, is there a good resource other than DEC to get surface water temps?
Thank you in advance!!
Ok so did some searching, Olcott is closet to me, but some said they ruined the pier fishing with all the new construction? Lake O is pretty new to me, so trying to learn.
For a newbie, can one give a synopsis of the names and location of piers open to public access? I would guess egg sacks, skein and spoons are the most popular baits?
Is there a bait and tackle shop on the south end of Cayuga that keeps live sawbellies available for sale? Even other live minnows and shiners if no sawbellies available.
Did you jig them off the bottom or were they suspended? I ve watch some youtube videos of a guy jigging for Lake Trout on Cayuga, and he picks up several by letting bait fall to bottom, jig it couple times, then slow wind it back up to his kayak.
Thanks!!
Look at Tadpole Divers. Come in several weights and easy to use in a kayak Offshore Tackle has dive charts too on their website.
Snap weights also an option and inline trolling weights.
If you dont wanna mess with that, use leadcore. You will need a big level wind reel. Can get one fairly cheap.
Hmmm. I have in lived in PA my entire life, and have heard or seen a PFBC auction. I ll have to look into this. Your work on this looks great. If I was in boat market, I would drive up and get it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I have a similar boat, and was wondering how you mounted those two riggers? Just a backer plate under the rigger base? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
