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!!

Depends where you live, man. There’s dozens of public access piers on Lake Ontario. Look up the pfr locations in whatever particular area you interested in fishing.
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.

Go to the Irondequoit pier before sun up and see what other people are doing.
So that is the only pier with public access??
-
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!!

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.

I have a similar boat, and was wondering how you mounted those two riggers? Just a backer plate under the rigger base? Thanks!

How long of fluro leader do you guys like to run? I was thinking of 25 feet of fluro leader attached with a double uni knot. Or should I cut it leader length down to like 10 feet?

Last April we started out trolling a mix of hard baits and spoons. After a few fish were in the boat it was clear spoons were the way to go. We were trolling in less than 20 FOW and caught them on a couple of different color combinations but I can't recall which ones. (I really have to start keeping a log) I do recall we felt like flash was more important than color.
Flatline trolling spoons or did you use riggers, divers or lead-core? What kind of spoons

The Rams have a defensive line.....Brady's kryptonite.
No QB likes to be hit. I sure hope Donald and Suh get like 7 sacks each

I have a bunch of 2/5 oz Little Cleo’s I use casting for Steelhead in City of Erie PA, and Presque Isle bay. Tying up some egg sacks wont be a problem.
Thanks for the info!

I have a couple questions...will the lake mostly be open water in Mid to late March? I ve wanted to come up and catch some Lakers from the shore, and with my birthday being mid March, what better time to go try.
Is Taughannock my best bet from shore? Can you fish down in Ithaca at Stewart Park and/or East Shore Park?
I live about 4 hours south down here in PA, so I ve been doing a-lot of Google Earth searching for shore access.
Now over on Seneca, I understand you can fish the pier and rocks at Watkins Glen?
Thanks!!

Is there any good webcams on the finger lakes to see real time conditions?
