Tuckman Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Well, I am usually pretty reluctant to divulge my secret carp fishing hotspots to the public but I guess I can make an exception. This pic was taken on that flat just north of willow grove almost in front of sarrassins. 8-) I only target bass on Keuka, but I can think of 9 fish species that Ive caught out there...all warmwater though, no trout
Beardog Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Your carp secrets won't be divulged by me. I don't fish down by PY much. I'm on the west side near the Bluff, plenty of our own carp there. If I subract lake trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, and salmon, I'm at nine, too. How's the ice situation there?
Tuckman Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 The Big lakes are open now, but they dont usually freeze over to much anyway. I need the small lakes to open up though, they warm up so much faster and its easier to find the fish in the spring...Heck, you can still freeze a twelve pack in Seneca on the fourth of july...have you ever heard of Cayuta Lake???...Its a tiny lake over by me and its full of hawg largemouth, the day that the ice is off I'm headin over there.
Tuckman Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I fish waneta/lamoka lakes religiously. I actually won my first bass tournament over there years ago...lamoka has some pigs swimming around in it, Ill be over there as soon as the ice melts
Beardog Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I've fished Waneta, but not Lamoka. Is Lamoka as weed choked? Do you use the ramp between the lakes on 23? I remember the ramp as being pretty small--is it big enough for a 21 ft bass boat? I also have some vague memories of he Waneta Inn--a big muskie over the bar and some questionable women.
Tuckman Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Lamoka has the better fishing, but they killed the weeds last year and it sucked after that, so I dont know what to expect this year...The women at waneta are def questionable, Ive seen some disturbing things goin on on the docks out there, still, I start hearing the deliverance theme song in my head everytime I fish that back canal in lamoka... I got this 46" muskie during a bass tourny on waneta a few years ago. He ate at rat-l-trap just like my trophy carp, haha
SMfisher Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 nice fish, but i thought this was about Keuka smallmouth, lately i"ve seen everything except smallmouth
Tuckman Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 nice fish, but i thought this was about Keuka smallmouth, lately i"ve seen everything except smallmouth If everybody always stayed on topic, life would be a lot less interesting
Md Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 If everybody always stayed on topic, life would be a lot less interesting Amen to that brother!
SMfisher Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 what i was trying to say, every time some one made a new post on keuka smallmout there was no smallmouth pictures or write up about smallmouth on the lake. i had never heard of the lake and was wondering about the smallmouth on keuka lake. did not mean to offend anyone. by the way MD where did you catch the fish you are holding? looks like a nice fish.
Super User Paul Roberts Posted March 19, 2009 Super User Posted March 19, 2009 I don't think anyone's offended. I was noticing the same thing, and started to make me wonder if the thread wouldn't be moved to the NE section by the mods. It's starting to feel like a Finger Lakes reunion of some kind here LOL. I think what we're seeing is the tail end of cabin fever. It gets bad this time of year on those big deep Finger Lakes, at least for the warmwater guys. Real good stuff on Keuka smallies earlier on in the thread. We're all just a-wait'n for that lake to warm up some so that SmallieFever, Tuckman, and Beardog can start reporting on what Keuka offers up this year. I'm waiting to hear if SmallieFever breaks the code on those suspended smallies. Or maybe he's being sent on a fool's errand :-/.

I think what we're seeing is the tail end of cabin fever. This is what happens when a thread is NOT moderated. I haven't paid any attention and I suspect the rest of the Mods haven't been here either. Let's close this one, but if any of you want to start another on "Keuka Smallmouth" or any of the other topics that had been brought up, go right ahead. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator
