Cayuga Cayuga 4/9/18

[Fjaq]

Launched at Taughannock at 9am. Good news,,, water level is much higher than the last time I was there (3/29/18).  I would say 18"-24" higher.  The ladder on the dock is in the water!.

 

left inlet and shot straight across to East shore.  Trolled north until we got to the power station.  Is that power station still operating?  Boards with sticks, riggers with spoons.  No hits till we got to the power station, all spoons on riggers, all lakers, 80fow.  Surface temp was 38 deg.  Saw very few fish on screen.  Was very happy to pick up half dozen lakers (8 passes in front of power station).  Continued on North for 45 minutes, crossed over to west side, trolled back to Taughannock.  All fish caught were in front of power station.  Pulled out at 3pm.  Great weather today.

Lakers prefer 48-53 degree water....it's even too cold for them!

Well, fact be known, we catch LLs and lakers all winter long though they can be spread out all over the water column.

Doesn't stop them from biting in cooler water

Yes they do. But they don't fight for squat.
