Cattaragus

[Thechad]

Wasn’t able to get out this am. Got called in early. Did hear of a good bite though. Getting Out tomorrow for sure. 

[Pequod1]

I was there and between four boats, we caught four eyes, 2 lakers and one steelhead.  Fished from 70-90'  Ice water and a strong east to west current.  Not good at all.

[Thechad]

Just got off the phone with another guy said it was tough too. Some say tough some say good. We shall see in the morning

water flipped 40degrees 10 feet down to the bottom yesterday

[Thechad]

The beginning of the end of the season?

[fishmaster]

Water was 68 degrees down to at least 65 ft today everywhere I went out of dunkirk.  Tough bite, managed to get 6 solo, but took a while to get them.

[Dcra]

I was out, fished 65 - 80' water, weird current east to west, quite a few boats in the area, did not see 1 fish caught. Had 1 release in 5 hours, no fish in the box. Tough day at the office.

[Pequod1]

It was 44 deg at 50’ at the cat.  No it will settle in a few days. They will be back

[Thechad]

Still out here on the boat. Really tough bite today. Only 2 so far on leadcore stocks. Bout to head in. Lots of boats but nobody’s really catching consistently. Most of the fish I have marked have been tight to the bottom in 70-80 fow. The 2 we caught are good ones though. One 28 inch and one 25 right off the bottom. Tough day

[fishmaster]

We did 15 total today.  Most on 7 and 8 color lead, couple on wire dipseys set on 1, 110 ft back.  Caught a couple on riggers 40ft down.  All fish on stickbaits running 2.4 to 2.6 at the ball.

What depth were u fishing fishmaster?

[fishmaster]

80 to 100ft out of dk

[Thechad]

I heard west was better. Bc I’m looking at my screen now marking only fish on bottom. Maybe marked 5 today up at 60 where they were last week. Probably tomorrow and this weekend it’ll settle the water temp back down and the fish will be around 55-60 out of the Catt. 

[fishmaster]

It should get better.  Some of that colder water pushed west since yesterday and in turn pushed the fish higher in the water today as compared to yesterday.

[Headshaker]

We fished yesterday off the Catt from 60-80 fow, picked only one fish, ran zig zag pattern in and out across those depths from top to bottom with lead and dipseys was a tough day to swallow. The lake definately flipped temps, lets hope it picks back up this weekend as it warms up.

Was out solo yesterday. Got out to 70-80 fow to start. Hit fish on the downrigger blue chatterstick in 80-85 fow down 81 ft. Had a 7 color out as well but kept getting fish on the DR so pulled it to put the other rigger in the water and kept working that depth with 2 riggers and a dipsey on 0 180' back. Got my 6 fish 17-19" all in 80-85 on plugs, blues and purple both chattersticks and bayrats. Marked fish on the bottom and was going slow 1.3-1.5 then later speed up to 1.7 on the probe/downspeed.

Sounds good. Were they on the bottom? Or suspended?

[dukhnter8]

I can and do. I’ve been out only one time this year where I didn’t catch mine. But I don’t understand why we all wouldn’t want to help other fisherman get better and learn to love the sport like I do. This is a fishing report blog so if you don’t have info don’t post.
