Cayuga report 8/18

[[email protected]]

Headed out yesterday out of deans cove. On the water by 7:30 shot south to long point and trolled north. Tried targeting anything other than lakers at first. Ran spoons and flies and stick baits on riggers at 60 and 80 and two divers of the side out 200-250. Nothing but lake trout. I could not get anything to bit other than lakers all day. Afternoon shot down to sheldrake and trolled north back to deans. Didn't get much just a few smaller lakers. Weeds were bad on the east side and flees almost on every pole. What am I doing wrong!! I want anything other than lakers!!!! Haha

Try bringing the baits up a little? Are you marking fish at that 40-50 ft? If you have a temp probe find that 52 degrees

Another thing is the shallower you run your down Riggers the farther back you should run your lures. 30 ft down 60 feet back or more. 60 feet down I run 10 ft back for lakers. For salmon and browns I go 30 to 60 back. You have to give them what they want.
