Cayuga 10/2

[hermit]

Brief trip out this morning looking for lakers with my brother, fished 8-11:30.  Had planned on a bit more fishing this week but had to unexpectedly leave town for a few days.  We still squeezed this trip in on a beautiful day!

 

Found fish near Taughannock and Kingtown Beach in 80-110 fow.  A handful of small lakers came to the boat, all about 4 lbs.  Bunch of little fellas today!  Limetreuse tails worked well.  They started off chasing 30-40 feet but only slowly, and were biting the tails a lot without getting the hook in their mouths even after a 40 foot chase.  Good opportunity to double our catch with stingers but we weren't keeping them and kept it simple.  

 

Eventually it got a bit lighter and the sun started to shine through a little, but unfortunately it didn't help the fishing much, instead it slowed down.  We were hoping for the opposite of course!  Anyway, there wasn't much bait near Taughannock and some good schools were up by Kingtown.  Wind was anywhere from ESE to SSW around 10 mph.  One guy fishing the wall was hooked up on what looked like a decent laker when we went out at 8.  That's about it.  Great morning!
