Cayuga 9/5.

[lily]

Fished today from 0830 to 1630 and had 2 fish to show for it. Fished. All water depths and used all colors and just could not get anything to work for us. Most bait was marked in 60 to 80 foot of water but marked very few fish with the bait. Alot of boat traffic today Wich was expected maybe had something to do with the dismal results. Had a hand full of short strikes but like said before only got 2 in the boat. Hey a tough day on the lake is better than a easy day at work. Best baits to day were black and white spoons with purple tape. Good luck out there. Boat ran rough this morning but smoothed out later in the day.

Spent all weekend dragging the O wishing I was on Cayuga. Took one 8.6 laker and one 6lb brown. Couldn't get a king to save my but. Got into an argument with an old associate over how big the Atlantic's get in Cayuga. I said 10 to 12 lbs. He says 6 to 7. Childish fun ,but does anyone have pics.

I launched from Myers trolled up past The plant. Then motored north to Sheldrake and trolled back to myers on the west side. Maybe just wasn't my day for fishing. But had a good day anyway. Ran 2 divers and 2 down riggers at various depth with multiple lure changes just couldn't get anything to work. Didn't get skunked so all and all a good day.

Tried deep shallow and in between never want inside of 80 ft of water.

Lily, I fish out of the same port and have the same findings.  Lots of bait 65-80fow with not a lot of fish around.  Saturday I trolled from The yacht club to T-park and it was 4 miles of nothing but bait.  We have been having more success over deep water 300-340.  We have been seeing some nice Rainbows coming our way lately too.

Hey thanks vogael. This is my 1 st trip this year that I didn't mark a ton of fish and my lowest catch rate this year to. I figured that it had some thing to do with boat traffic starring everything up. I have to imagine that it would maybe not though. Most of the .time I troll north out of Myers. Don't usally head south towards ithaca. I used to spend my summers with my grand father trolling out of kidders so I know the north water better. He used to rent a place from a guy named Bunny out be hind Omallys. We had a permanent camper up in that camp ground that's there now. One of the first ones back in the 80s.

The mag with big ring and heavy weight. And the 001 with ring. Both getting hit. Mag did the most. Probably 80 to 90 down. Usually where i hit bottom when fishing kings on big O. Fish were marking 30 to 130 down. 90 down on a rigger with flasher fly took one too. Chrome and green spinny and hammer fly. Also a protroll fish and chip green with mirage fly.

I never have luck on cayuga with paddles and flies... sounds like there is fish everywhere shallow and deep

[relentless]

I cant seem to get em on spoons.

I save the ff's for the O, only because I've seem to have more success with spoons and small dodgers. Basic black, green, blue, and silver stingers. Only down fall is they like to wack the dodgers occasionally. Keep at it.

We've done a few 10 lbers on Cayuga, several years ago we consistently boated 10 plus on Seneca in the Winter but those days are gone.

[Low Baller]

That's a shame, I would be curious as to why, but that would turn into debates. We have enough of that on TV. Just fish
