After striking out on Silver Lake, I headed home to Keuka Lake. Water temps today were 42-44 degrees with almost crystal clear clarity. My baits of the day were a Reef Runner Cicada and a Silver Buddy blade bait. The fish still seem to be deep, but becoming more active. They are definitely keying in on schools of Perch - because if I was around schools of Perch I would catch a smallmouth. Two of the smallmouth I caught had perch tails sticking out of their throats!

Water Temps are on the rise and the big largemouth are moving up. Its not easy, but if you can trick a largemouth into biting they are big. I beat my Personal best today by a 1/2oz. 7 lbs 1/2oz
