Canandaigua 9/4

[FLXTroutman]

33canuck and I ran the 6 rod spread taking full advantage of the 3 rod rule. I am glad we had the full program going since 1 out 6 rods took our only 2 fish. I usually don't get many bites on spoons but the old trusty blue and silver lil cleo brought a nice 10 lb 31" lake trout on board with a rigger parked at 50'. It also took a 13" laker ( I guess measured so I can log my catch for DEC diary) and gently released that fish back behind the boat. The usual suspects were all out there but didn't take a hit. We trolled White Rock to Whiskey Point and across to Cook Point south past Long Point. We saw a woman attempting to swim the width of the lake starting at Whiskey Point. She was escorted by two kayaks and a power boat. We saw her again as we were pulling lines on the west side north of Cook Point near the shamrock boathouse. The wind was blowing pretty good and she must have swam an extra mile at least due to the wind and current blowing north and she still had not made it to the west shore.

Kurt,

Tom

Oh I thought you were implying some serious clear cutting Hey fall fishing is good too and let us not forget the upcoming archery and hardwater seasons!

[tcon]

Yeah I agree just seems that as the #'s increase in my age the more and more I love summer I used to love winter more than any other season, but now when I take the motor off the boat and cover it for winter...I get a little somber

Tom

[33canuck]

Hmmm, lots of open water around us in the winter, maybe we aughta get out and try some mid winter trolling to ease the pain

[tcon]

That sounds good to me, I've been told by a reliable source that some of the best fishing on Cayuga is in the winter months.
