Cayuga LL Salmon

[ColinC]

Hi. I’ll be going out on Cayuga with some friends in a couple weeks. We are hoping to target landlocks. We’ve only fished Canandaigua and never targeted salmon before. Any suggestions? Probably launching out of the north end.

Taughannock is where I would start. I fish out of aurora all the time and havnt gotten a salmon in a few weeks. They’ve moved south as I am still catch a fair amount of rainbows in aurora so I know I’m doing stuff right. Spring and fall have been more of a time for me to target them. Cayugas been revenged by winds and rain messing everything up. Thermocline is down 90 feet last time I went out on Thursday. Lakes seems to be stabilizing now just hope we don’t get another algae bloom. Waters a nice clean green right now.

I haven’t caught a salmon in the last 4 trips to Taughannock this summer. I was thinking of making the trip to longpoint this weekend.All I have is Lakers hitting anything throughout the entire water column. Last time I kept 3 all 26-30” to give away. It’s really nice catching fish but annoying when you have Lakers hitting lines 25-30ft down when you’re targeting salmon and bows

I've had the same problem. Even caught a laker off a lead core where the fish hawk read 73 deg water. Unreal.
