Cayuga South end 04/28

Went 18 for ? lost count of how many small drop offs.  First hour was slow not much hitting stick baits.  Alpha alewife from fingerlakestackle.com was killer today catching about 5 to one more than any other lure.  Thanks to Billy V on the previous post caught a nice eater size laker with FF on dipsy 275' back north toward drop off.  Kept one nice 23" LL picture attached.  New boat for me (17' Tracker Targa 60hp four stroke) still working out kinks.  need more rod holders.... Thanks to all the guys out there everyone was aware of their lines kudos to all.   Speed was 1.9-2.2 but a few speed bursts seemed to trigger fish.

same story for us.... lots of dinks..2 legal fish..

 

Had a ton of short strikes... we also had a good 5- 6 grabs on the alpha alewife mag but could not get then to stick

 

 

I like that spoon very much

We're were in the black Lund, we found the bigger fish away from the shelf. We started off in the shallows but found nothing but juvenile LLs. After we targeted the 44 degree water we hit the quailty LLs. This temp varied from 10' down in places to 25' in others we had to keep adjusting the riggers and used various lengths of leadcore, copper spoons worked the best for us!

 

We were there earlier in the week and had the same results in the shallows tons of undersize fish and a rare keeper!
