Cayuga Dinks 6/8

[EarlyRiser]

Fished the morning on Cayuga. Concentrated on West side near Tgk and North, plus the areas on the East side near Milliken. Concentrated on 85-120 ft of water and used a 6 rod spread including 3 and 4 color lead cores, mag diver, 300' copper, and riggers. We went 7/8, but nothing over 16" -- lots of dink salmon on the lead cores.  That's been the story of our year on Cayuga so far, lots of dinks. We marked tons of bait and good sized fish, but only the little ones were interested. Tested the water temps in 80' near Tgk and it was 59 degrees at the surface, 50 degrees at 35', then 49 degrees down 80'.  No wonder the fish are so scattered!

 

Hoping for the thermocline and some stable weather.
