Billy V Cayuga Lake shakedown April 14, 2013

[Billy V]

We got a little bit of a late start today but once we got the rods in at about 7:30am we had steady action until we wrapped it up at about 10:30am.  We primarily worked the stained water on the east side of the lake and found good 44-45 degree surface temps near shore.  We wandered over to the west side for a quick look and found 39-40 degree water and came away with nothing to show for it.  We had a nice mix of fish today including a small mouth, a brown, and all the atlantics and lakers that we wanted.  The atlantics were all pretty small - in the 12-15" range, but the lakers were healthy sized.  I think we wrapped up our 3 hours with 16 fish boated.  It didnt seem to matter what we put out there today - they were snapping up spoons, stick baits, small plugs and the lakers were all over flashers & flies (275' and 300' out on a #2).  If it had white, black, green, or silver on it they took it.  Not a bad way to start the season, and when we got to the dock we spent the next 7 hours cleaning the boat so she's all ready to roll.

No wonder your boat shines!

[Billy V]

There's an awful lot of fiberglass on the boat that needs buffing and waxing every year!

Did about the same on fish Saturday about a dozen landlocks and 2 healthy lakers... Cruised into Myers today while setting buoys for the state out that way, your boat was sitting there looking gorgeous

     We had about the same type of day but our landlocks were a little larger with small lampreys.

The only bad thing was the yahoot in the Bass Boat with the inline planers out 75 to 100 ft pissin & moanin about us takin up half the lake with our boards, which were out less than 50 ft.

   You did a fine job on the boat Billy, wish you could of finished earlier so you had enough time to do mine.
