New to fishing Cayuga lake

New member here...

Have a camping trip next summer to Cayuga Lake State Park. 

Will be late May, early June.

Would like any info on Bass fishing near the launch at the park.

I read going to the north part of the lake might merit some good fishing for Bass.

Is that quite a distance? Is there a better spot to launch at the north part of the lake?

 

Any information would be greatly appreciated .

 

Thanks and good luck fishin'

North end of the lake is overall shallow and weedy. Holds a lot of largemouth. You will just need to find active fish

There is a launch right there at the park but it is shallow draft and especially when waater level  is low. There is another launch about 10 miles south of the park at Deans Cove but it can be a journey to the north end from there depending on the wind direction/velocity. Some smallmouth fishing right near there though and directly across the lake from there. Another option for launching is on the east side of the north end down a few miles called Union Springs. There is some largemouth and smallmouth fishing near there in the weedbeds. All the launches charge to launch. Hopefully you realize that Bass season starts mid June.

Thanks for the information on Cayuga lake.

I see that Seneca and some of the other lake are catch and release, but not Cayuga.

 

Guess I will try for some Pike, just like up on the St Lawerence this time year.
