If you can get on them jigging lakers can be very good in Cayuga... When they are suspended and on bait, it can be tough unless you troll.. When the bait is oriented close to bottom, and shallow say under 125 feet, you can get a lot of them...
SMB? I would have to see it to believe it.. They have been decimated in Cayuga.. I have not caught a single one in about 13-14 years.. I used to catch 30- 40 in a morning, standing on shore , never moving 50 feet from where I started. For YEARS until the 2008 die off..
If he is catching Muskies, they are not pure strain, they have to be Tigers, and I think Otisco Lake is where he's getting them.. Thats a smaller finger lake, managed for Tigers,and although it does have invasive mussels, I don't believe the Gobies have made it there as yet. The bass and other warm water fish can still spawn there.. The reason the lakers are ok in Cayuga is because they are stocked and have plenty of food, and they eat gobies, so it has actually increased their food supply.
Cayuga is stocked annually with approximately 60,000 lake trout, 25,000 brown trout and 40,000 Atlantic salmon.,,,,bob
