Cayuga 3/13

[NJFirman]

Launched out of Deans Cove and the lake was glass all day. Fished from 8-3 and landed 8 lakers. Missed a lot of short grabs. Water temper were 39, found fish from 150-50 FOW.

[bandrus1]

Did you fish the surface at all?

[bandrus1]

Or were you jigging

[NJFirman]

We were jigging

[GoodKnight]

Seems like the fish are everywhere.

[NJFirman]

Yeah they were scattered, it took a lot of looking for individuals and trying to get them interested then moving and starting over again

[Fishy]

Life jackets?

[NJFirman]

They're readily available and are worn when the boats moving! Great point

[lavarock64]

Well done - I know that stretch - Heres some cottage trivia -the one fancy stone camp is owned by the CEO of Angies list.

[Fishy]

If boat is less than 22ft and not anchored or tied to dock, ALL people on board must have them on from Nov1-May1 in NYS

[NJFirman]

I just looked that up, I had no idea there was a seasonality on something like that. Great to know, thanks Fishy!

[pennyan27]

Nice fish how much did it Weight

[Frogger]

Not to contradict anyone because I think it's safe to always have them on in on the cold waters, NYS Nav Law Sec 40.1e states "anyone underway in boat less than 21 feet Nov 1-May 1 must wear them". If your jigging and not underway your legal. Just not as safe as you could be. Those are some solid fish. Thanks for sharing!

[Frogger]

Forgot to ask , bait on the jigs? Or just artificial?

[NJFirman]

Just artificial plastics, I don't mess w the fish too much but id guess between 6-8 lbs

[hermit]

Fishy is correct, NYS navigation law defines it as: "“Under way†shall mean that the vessel is not at anchor, or made fast to the shore, or aground."

Edit at 5:45 pm: Relevant section 2 article 16 of nav law

you are still underway while jigging.... underway making way is moving

[Fishy]

You are underway from Nov-may if you are not anchored or tied to fixed object. If you don't believe me like some on Keuka lake call the DEC or sherriffs

[Fishy]

By the way nice fish.

[Fishy]

By the way nice fish.

[Frogger]

Fishy, by definition of underway your correct, your 22 ft was incorrect. That's what flagged me.

Nice lakers!
