Cayuga perch

[rvan]

Never fished Cayuga tomorrow heading to state park to launch for perch looking at map was going to head north to start around old pilings not looking for any secrets but am I going right direction thanks

I have fished for perch in Cayuga a lot but not from there.  I usually launch at union springs and fish directly across from launch on the west side and then move south of that. Sometimes I hit them and sometimes not so much. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Good info... also on the west side near Canoga out from Parker Road where it starts dropping off (about 18 ft or so starts it probably stay to the north of it)

Nice job.  We were in Keuka today.  The perch population is very low there.  When the bait crashed a few years ago the lakers and everything else including big perch fed on the young perch.  It’s been tough there.

Tough for perch but there is a lot of lakers too bad they don’t taste better

The fish have been real shallow. We have been slamming them in like 6 feet of water on the west side of Cayuga north end. Anywhere south of Red Jacket to the point is loaded. We just go dock to dock. A lot of small ones, but you could fill a bucket with 11 inchers if you gave it a couple of hours.

Nice. That’s usually the area I fish but I have not had a chance to get there yet this season. That area is usually good right up until July but sometimes you will find them on the edge of the drop from 35-40.
