Deep Crankin Summer LMB on Cayuga Lake

If you do that then you advance to the afternoon round where all weights are zeroed and you start over fishing from 1-4 PM for your shot at a $2,000 payday.

42 Annual Henderson Harbor Big Bass Derby

Jun 17, 2018

This  trip was a fun bass opener in Region 6 waters on Lake Ontario. In preparation for the derby I scouted the entire Eastern Basin  along the South shoreline from the light house North of Ray’s Bay all the way around to the NE at Tibbets Pt Light house finding quality bedding bass  and fish in all three phases of the spawn.  I kept my area search to water that was 15 ft or less and I found main lake area surface water temps running 58-61 and in the back of some bays  I marked 67-68 degrees.
