What is the ice looking like on Cayuga I have noticed people on the Susquehanna river in ny an pa on my travel to work I can't believe Cayuga lake is ready. I can't wait to get laid off for a few weeks I'm dying to use my new marcum camera I bought

We fished until 12. Today. Not one pike hit. Caught 10 perch and kept one. Yesterday was much better. Kept 25 perch yesterday.

Alot a dink perch behind beacon marina..no keepers

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 13, 2015, 05:58 AM »

I use spikes and a jig..works pretty good..or a perch eye.works good also

aaayo · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 13, 2015, 07:57 AM »

usually use bass minnows on tip ups and catch a lot of pickerel and big perch. sometimes got little perch messing with ya. and heard ice was around 5 1/2 and there was a wheeler out there saturday. not sure exactly where but idk if i would have been on one. water was murky with all the wind we had so bite was not good. maybe if water clears up fishing should be better. usually a pressure crack off canoga. and perch eyes work well when they are biting because you can catch a bunch without having to put bait on. when the school is there you want to keep them there.

I was out on Sunday, 5" good ice 15 perch on pink jig with a minnow.

THEiceman49 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 13, 2015, 11:03 AM »

Waiting on it to clear up then I'll be out there with my jigging raps and puppet minnows hole hopping

Is the water clearing up yet? Going out this weekend. Hopefully more flags are flying

Tom700 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 14, 2015, 09:58 PM »

fished only a little while there today, right behind beacon bay. 46 perch and a pickerel

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 15, 2015, 05:47 AM »

And all the perch were dinks

hardwater22 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 15, 2015, 09:52 AM »

Is beacon bay usually a good spot for pickerel? Never fished that part of the lake

its a decent spot, I have had better luck just south of there. its by the park right next to beacon bay, I usually park there and head south about a half mile or so

yes water is clear now where I was at the north end. I was also across from Louise's point fishing the channel and it was clear.

Any easy access near Union Springs/Cayuga? My father just got his fishing license for the first time in 20 years (retirement must be getting boring) and he won't travel very far. PM's welcome with any helpful info!

you could try by Harris park. its right next to silver bridge and beacon bay, it is usually a good spot
