2 weeks ago there wasn't any ice...I think it's safe to say it's on its way with this weather but probably not safe in the union springs area

Hinky - Heard that there were still some open spots on the north end. Ice from Frontenac out to the islands but that just formed in the last couple days. Going to drive by today on lunch and will give you a better idea of what she looks like.

Thanks, eyeguy21
I owe you one.

Hinky,
There is ice over by Harris Park. There was one guy in the little cove there fishing it. Not sure how much ice but can't be too much.
As you head south the ice disappears. Ice is completely gone in front of Yawger. Twin Oaks is open water. There is ice from Frontenac launch to the island but open water beyond that and like I said, that ice is new there.
Cold weather coming, hopefully that will lock up the rest of Cayuga.

I probably going to check the North end out tomorrow. Didn't get to fish it last year.. be nice to have a good perch lake 15 minutes away. Instead of driving hours.
-
Hopefully I will see for myself if fish bite through the ice there, going Monday.

Good luck bud.
-
I didn't make it, talked in to going Sodus a lot of small perch keep enough to eat.
So I guess no one fished on ice at Cayuga?

You need to switch up your bait/presentation....

Didn't get skunked and had good ice to fish on.

You bet,

Just as I said in my report from Monday

I read it FingerLaker607
Just did a road trip around, gas is cheap down there.
Hopefully it will harden up soon.

I also took advantage of that cheap gas...serious savings!! Folks were packed in that "casino" like sardines too. Crazy
I'm hopeful for the end of this week

Heard rumors of ice fishing north end and the lake is iced up past Union Springs any truth to it?
Just wondering if any honest fishermen know if it is so?
Feel free to PM me if afraid to reply.
Any news is good news to me.

Any safe ice on Keuka lake at the North end yet? :tipup:
-
Has anybody happen to see people fishing the north end of Cayuga.
-
Drove over yesterday. Guys fishing the north end by Harris park and also as far as I could see south. The ice stops by way before union springs. Finger lakes laker that better or?
-
Dont waste your time on north end of cayuga fished it a few times this week.tons a perch .biggest was about 5 inches full of dinks in that whole area

Honest fisherman?? ??? Never heard of such a creature. I've only fished the north end through the ice once a few years ago. Lots of dinks then also, but it was fun because we could sight fish them. Every now and then the perch would all scatter and a minute later a pickerel would swim through. Pretty cool to see
-
Fished north end yesterday ice was 8", not much snow on top, north end .
Caught lots and lots of small perch, FUTURE FISH. All released to be caught again when bigger.
Did catch enough to eat.

Yep a old fashioned shanty town out in the channel from where I was on the North end. I fished about a half mile south of the village. 7 inches of ice every where that I drilled, dinks, dinks and more dinks, only brought home a meal of keepers.
-
Little guy and I fished cayuga today did decent over 20 keepers around 9...10...inchers 3 hours lots a dinks though
-
Way to go big/little guys!
-
Is the ice good for a four wheeler from lower lake road to the two buoys? Maybe even a little south of the buoys?
-
where is the nest place to take some younger kids out ice fishing? Trying to get some cub scouts out to give it shot
-
Bad timing for that age group of kids. Deep snow, lots of deep slush almost everywhere and it is about to get worse. Try to find a smaller pond with no slush and lots of small sunfish. Maybe in a week or two the slush will freeze up and give you a solid base.
Cayuga lake is never a good place to take that age kids due to the pressure cracks and other hazards. Just my opinion. Maybe someone can help you find a safe bay over near Union Springs.
-
Weird...fished all day and it was a slick easy drag. Fishing was beyond slow for me. This snow may make those conditions depending on wind, but not what I saw. Agree that it is not the place for young kids for many reasons

Any idea on how much ice is at the Double Buoys?
-
Havent heard anything about the boys I way north of that no idea on my part all I can say is spud your way out
-
Thanks Big Guy
-
I am going to be heading towads Cayuga this weekend if anyone wants to catch up. Heading out with a buddy and at this point we have...vague...plans. Only Access I know is at the state park or at a marina in the village of Cayuga. IF there is someplace better at the north end we can meet anywhere.
Might also check out Owasco or Sampson st park while we are in the neighborhood. The world is our oyster.

The world is our oyster.
Lol you will be going to where there is Ice
-
Thinking of going to Cayuga this weekend never fished there driving from Rochester. Does anyone know if Beacon Bay Marine allows you to park and access the ice there. I'm looking at aerial maps trying to find a place to access the ice.
-
I not sure about parking at marina
there is smaller lot to park at
just past there heading south up over to the stop sign by R.R.tracks
-
Thanks for the info. Looking at aerial maps I also see a state boat launch on the north end west side. May check that out. Thanks again. Looking at next weeks forecast this may be the last weekend for ice fishing. stay safe.
