Still available? Where are you located?

I know it's a little late b/c it's May, but I haven't been that active on here lately. Work has been keeping me busy. So here's some pics from this winter. I'm from Chaumont, so most of the pics are from Chaumont Bay. Caught more Walleye this year than ever before, caught some nice pike on jig poles (including the one below, 10.5 lb, 34") when fishing for perch. Perch were bigger and more plentiful this year. Fun season! Enjoy the fish p 0 r n!

I'm familiar with that bay as I went to Keuka (graduated in 2005). The bay you speak of is quite shallow in some spots, so I would target some warmer water species. I would stay in the bay especially if you don't have a motor. The wind can rush down the lake pretty good at times. Largemouth usually congregate close to docks on Keuka during this time of year when the water is just getting warm. Careful not to get too close as they are spooky. There's some big ones around. My brother caught a 6.5 lb largemouth when we were dock fishing and we saw some larger ones than that. You might run into some pickeral (they get quite large in Keuka, I remember catching them around 24-25 inches). Look for smallies, perch, sunfish and other panfish. Senkos will work around docks for the largemouths, spoons (kastmasters) or stickbaits (rapalas) should work for the pickeral. Worms should be fine for anything really. Good luck!

Selling my trailer that is too short for my 16.5 ft. boat. Needs a new home. Perfect for any boat between 10-14 ft. Selling it for $300. PM me if interested.

Got out yesterday for some ice fishing in Chaumont Bay for the last time this season despite 14" of ice still. Perch were nonstop with the water being a little off color due to run off and maybe some spawning. Fished in 10-15 ft. of water and caught half a bucket in a couple hours. Would have stayed longer and caught more but ran out of bait. Overall a decent season up here.

Howdy ya'll. I've been away from the forum for a while now and finally renewed since everything went down. For those of you that don't know me...my name is Wes, I'm from the Watertown area, have a 16.5 ft. Deep V Lowe w/ a 15 hp Suzuki 4 stroke, Prefer catching trout over anything (fly fishing especially), have experience fishing on Lake O. from Sackets to Chaumont areas as well as Keuka Lake (went there for college). Recently got into hunting deer and turkeys. I'm excited for spring!
