Visiting my hometown this week.  Planning on hitting up Cayuga Lake with my uncle in his boat tomorrow morning launching out of Cayuga Lake State Park.  Primarily targeting bass and would be nice to get into some nice Smallmouth.  I currently reside in TN so not well versed fishing for bass this far north.  Any advice on what to throw and ideal locations?  Initial thought is fish grass lines with moving baits and plastics.  Any feedback would be appreciated.  Thanks! 

I've never fished Cayuga for bass (usually go for perch and bluegills in the fall).

 

How did you do? Did you find any of them?

My uncle did. Caught a nice 3lb + Largemouth first thing that morning.  He ended up catching another short Largemouth, a Perch, and Pickerel.  I ended up just catching a nice Pickerel, was over 20 inches.  The lake was rolling pretty good, so we were unable to fish the spots we initially wanted too.

Wish I would have seen this sooner
