This past weekend was one of the most fun weekends I have had in a while. I was fishing both days so that had a lot to do with it.

Saturday I went to Oneida Lake in the new boat. It was a bit strange as I brought my friend Mike, Full Tank Charters, out with me. Normally, he takes me in his boat as he charters exclusively on Oneida and has taught me all I know about walleye fishing on that lake.

We launched just after 7, and it wasn’t long before we were putting a nice walleye in the live well. We had started fishing out deep and found fish right tight to the bottom. Using lead core rods, we were able to get our baits down to the fish and took home 10 keeper walleye and 3 big perch. I lost count of how many short or just barely 15 inch fish we released. I was pulling a deep thunderstick, and Mike was pulling a storm thin fin. We also took 3 bites off a chinook diver and thunder stick rig I put out on my side just to try out. One of the 3 was a keeper. Overall, it was a great morning on the water that put some tasty filets in the freezer.

Sunday, after breakfast, I took my wife and kids out on Lake Ontario to try some brown trout fishing. This time of year, there are some locations where they start to stack up, and we wanted to see if they were there.

We only had 2 rods in the water when that question was answered. A nice 17 inch brown trout smacked a custom Maglip 3.0 i had put out on a board. Once I had all the planer and rigger rods in the water I set out 2 chinook diver rods 18 and 22 feet back. I am glad I did as those rods took 5 out of our 9 bites. We ended up landing 6 browns in just a few hours. Amanda and the boys were able to stay warm under the enclosure. This boat is much more comfortable than the old one that is for sure. See her and the boys smile for each picture made the day great for me.

I will be offering both brown trout and walleye trips until the launches freeze. I also offer trips to Cayuga Lake for lake trout, rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon. Call today to book a trip.

A busy fall season

This fall has been busy for a different reason than those in the past. I have been busy coaching both of my boys’ fall baseball teams. During this, I purchased a new larger boat as well.

The new boat is Hewescraft Sea Runner 210. This boat fishes even bigger than it is with seating for 6 adults and plenty of room left to fish. I will be offering trips for up 6 people on Lake Ontario, Oneida Lake,and Cayuga Lake.

I have been trying to get the new boat rigged and dialed in. After this past Thursday and Friday, I can say it is. I had Joel and his son Caleb aboard, and while we didn’t get as many bites as others, we put fish in the boat each day. Friday was our better day, putting 4 in the box and dropping multiple others.

Fall baseball season will be running through the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend. After that, I have open dates available for Oneida Lake walleye fishing or Cayuga Lake for trout and Atlantic salmon. I will be running trips until the launches freeze. The full canopy will keep you out of the weather in between bites. Call now to set up a fall or winter trip.

Cayuga Lake Fishing Trip

This weekend I had 3 trips on Cauyga lake. I decided I would camp near the lake rather then drive back and forth each day.

I stayed at Sned-Acres Family Campground. If you are looking for a campground in the Finger Lakes region I would recommend this one. It is a family run clean quiet campground. The owners are very nice and accommodating

The fishing was not easy this weekend. We had to work hard for what we got. The weather was not in our favor as it was far from stable. Friday I took Adam and Chrissy out for a four hour afternoon charter. We trolled a variety of depths and baits looking for silver fish. We no luck after 2 hours I switch baits around and we managed to land four lake trout before their trip was over.

Saturday morning Walt and Brooks joined me. We started where I had found the lakers the day before. Only to find they were not willing to bite. Weather was nasty at times but we fished through it trolling north. We found one good laker that wanted to play. They were fishing with me the next day and staying at the same campground so I offered to take a break and go back out in the afternoon. They decided that sounded like a good idea.

We headed back out in the afternoon and caught another laker and two rainbows in about 2 hours of fishing in some less than desirable weather. We probably could’ve caught more but the steaks back at the campground were calling our names.

Sunday morning the weather was supposed to be good and we found a good pile of fish and bait the night before. We were excited to get back out in the morning. Well the weather man was wrong and the fish had moved. We worked very hard fishing everywhere from 60 to 325 feet of water. We found 3 atlantics and one big lake trout that wanted to play before it was time to go.
