Hi, I also fish the finger lakes from a kayak but I have never targeted lakers. Is it as simple as you make it seem? Find deep fish and drop the jig on them? Looking to give it a shot

Hey Adam! Yeah doing it this way isn’t very complicated, those are the biggest things. I use a medium speed vertical retrieve - it has to be fast enough to create a sense of urgency in them, but slow enough that they can chase it down well enough too. They respond to this technique pretty well on Cayuga. Seneca not as much.

@@Adam-wv1ho Yeah I love that lake. I go there for Perch and Smallmouth more though. The Lakers are much smaller on average for sure, they taste better though IMO if you're looking to keep.

@@williamlin4226 They can be finicky in summer, early mornings are usually better, sometimes there are little bite windows for one reason or another. Meyers is so-so in my experience. Soon, as Fall starts getting closer I would try launching from the other side (Taughannock), usually more fish over there then. Do you have a fish finder? If so are you at least seeing them follow the jig up? They will generally do that for at least 20 feet or so even when they are not hitting. And of course they move around a lot and often times the issue is there just aren't many fish in the neighborhood. Summer time 70-80 ft is usually a good depth to look for them.
