PikePounder.... got a question... you said Conesus... i'm heading down there this weekend to fish. my Uncle has a house on the lake... id say half way down i guess on the east side.. and it's an annual Ice fishing family tourny... ive been there once in the summer... he's on a big bay that is a very slow taper out to a drop off.. looks like good tip-up water (Sorry timmy)... and that's what they fished last year with only one flag to show for it.... I know there are monster pike and good walleye's too... but heard the perch and panny fishing is pretty non existent.... was wondering if you can give up any info on where to poke around more.. I really don't know the lake... and do you know how much Ice they have??

thanks any help would be great!! Gotta beat the family!!

If you fish the North end off of Vital park you can get into the gills pretty good. Last year a buddy and I gut over 100. I dont eat fish so none were kept. As far as pike there just stick to those drop offs. I've never fished the east side much. Mainly stuck to the west. The reports im hearing arent that great for pike so far. Couple here and there. There not on fire. And the ice last I heard was a solid 5-6 and making alot more. Seeing its been in the low teens at night. And Wed. thru friday at night will be single digits and -0's...

Hit Delta and it lived up to its nickname! Fished from 8 till 2 and caught one slime dart about 22 inches. We went out from the beach house, and drilled a lot of holes. That place is tip up city! Never seen so many guys tip up fishing in one place. They weren’t doing any catching either. Lots of ice, and there were sleds and wheelers all over the place.

Pike Pounder......

Thanks for the info... and if your out there this weekend let me know, have to say hi!! yeah this weather will deff make more Ice... last year they were fishing on like 3in... so looks better then. your tip up bait's?? dead or alive?? shinners? smelt? I heard they used to have some big perch too, but got over fished like so many other places and you only get a few now. But i will take pannies any day too, but i want to hunt for those big eye's they got in there!!

Walleye fished edgewater fri. and sat. morning plenty of fish but the bite was tough. Alot of single fish we managed a few fish.Sat evening and sun. morning fished the islands on west end bite was a bit better.Single fish were tough to get to go,but if you could get some multiple fish below you it was on.I ended up with 6 for the freezer 16" to 20" fish.

Went to Yellow Tape today, got there around 3:15. Started marking fish right at start, Caught Gills, 2 Bass And a few Crappies. I came off the ice at 5:30, and in those 2 hours I managed to ice at least 30 fish, (educated a lot of them and put most of them back) most fun I've had all season! I liked the spot so much that I put it in my GPS so I can go back again.

[kirkville1]

Sniper -Nice to meet you Saturday!

[Dark Cloud]

Billy, Tank, and I fished this afternoon from about noon till 4 on our southern crappie lake. We had a very good afternoon with lots of fish.

A fat 17 inch bass...

My first 3 drops... yielded 3 of these...

Many diff year classes in this lake but most run 9-10.5...

[Dark Cloud]

Mr. West - How did the shin-dig go? We got 2 of "the" new rods in route to Endicott right now.

[CNY Tim]

Nice report Jay. I love the snacker Good talking with you this a.m.

[CNY Lee]

This room is slow, someone go fishing and post..... LOL

[CNY Tim]

Fishing tomorrow and Sunday Lee. Darago on Saturday and down south with USMC Steve on Sunday...

[CNY Lee]

Saturday is Julie's birthday so I'm staying on solid ground but Sunday I think I'm going to hit BB in the morning then shoot over to the spot for the late bite and night bite. Call me Todd if interested.

Talked to Frank last night and it will be a good time, we'll have to set up some time to make a run up there. Also talked to Rick and he's got all his old contacts lined up for information. (one of them is a guide )

Timmy, you better get pictures and a little disappointed that my invite slipped through the cracks for the trip down there.

[CNY Tim]

Lee- I'm not taking the van I'm taking the Malibu, trap is staying home. I couldn't fit a nine iron in this thing her trunk is packed solid and I have room for a couple of buckets and that's about it..Gotta make sure this things running right before Heather get's it back... You want to take the Rado down were good.

The KING is "almost" ready for machines and will definitely be so for next weekend All 27 miles of it are locked up by now from the sounds of it. Still some spots with only an inch or two over the deep water but it's coming along.

[CNY Tim]

Let's set something up here soon for that run John. We had such a great time last year maybe Vet's Park on the next trip... The comraderie and eats that was the most important part of that trip, great time Kyle and I had... Well coordinate every thing and get it done I'm sure Bud and Tyler won't miss it.

Any weekend is good by me. We'll have enough ice to safely move around out there with the machines by the weekend of the 24th for sure. We can also do a day trip for lakers to that "other" lake that's pretty centrally located to both of us not too far from your favorite winter perch spot Some real honkers in there.

[CNYFrank]

John . . . we will bring ALL the fixins this year . . . our turn, plus we might even have a Chef in tow . . .

Alright we'll see. You guys are doing all the traveling so the least I can do is cook you something and provide some of the eats

[ENYTYLER]

John cant wait to get back up there just let me know when

[CNY Tim]

Fished South with Steve and Kevin Riley and the big bluegill fishing was slow, preety much slow picking and then sometimes no one would catch one for 20 min. or so. The fish were quality and that's the best part about it and the perch are incredible too a 13.5" perch is pretty nice... Thanks Steve and Cindy had a great time and you have mail Steve.
