Took my son out this week to Silver. Fish were biting everywhere. Fished worms on bobbers under docks/boats resulting in Perch, Crappie, Rock Bass, LARGE Bluegills, and my son caught a 3-4LB Bass. Outside the weed lines with a worm and split shot resulted in much of the same. Weeds are up so casting for Pike/Bass was tough inside the weedline.

Bullhead Bite at Conesus Inlet? Anyone hitting them down there yet or see people down there fishing them?

Anyone hitting them at Conesus yet?

Anyone ever hit that marsh up in a canoe or kayak? Man it's beautiful to look out there. When there last week to see the Walleye spawning in the inlet, noticed anywhere from 40-50 dead carp floating or near the shore. Any other fish make it over the dam area or maybe dropped by birds? Looks like a BASS paradise, but probably too shallow.......

Nailed them Friday during the day. Caught between 40-50 in just 2-3 hours with my boy. Went Saturday Night and they were not really biting until complete dark, when they instantly turned on. Conesus Lake Inlet is where fished both times. Saturday Night it was PACKED there. I'm talking like 20-25 cars up in the lot and shoulder to shoulder fishing up/down the inlet. But YES, they are in full swing.

Wondering same thing myself. I think I'm going to try this weekend. I know Conesus gets hot, once you get a day or two of 70 plus weather.....

Understand the pike are up the inlet now, and shouldn't be long until the Walleye make the trip. Here is a video from a coule years ago, when I took my boy up there, and we were lucky enought to been there at the same time the DEC was shocking the walleye for research. Enjoy:

I know it's early, but figured would get the string started, so we can get some updates when they start hitting down there. I have seen photo's that the pike are up the inlet spawning, which means the Walleye shouldn't be too far behind, and then with a couple 60-70 degree days, the Bullhead Bite should start. Any updates, greatly appreciated.

Wow thanks fishinNY

Gents, we are heading back to the ADK in August and want to try 1st-4th lake. The problem is last time I was there could not find out how to get to those lakes? Can you get shore access to them and if so, what roads are they off? When coming through Old Forge, is that "pond" looking thing actually 4th lake? We go up to stay at the DEC campground at 8th lake. GREATLY appreciate any input. Taking the kids this year.....

North End???? Over the seaweed down there? When you say buzzbait you talking spinnerbait over top of water?

Hate fishing the Fulton Chain. Funny story was last time up there asked guy: "So, where to go for the best bite?" His reply: "You need to head to the finger lakes......REALLY, that's where I just came from."

RWhite, in general terms what ends you casting? South? East?

You ever run into anything else, casting for the BASS? What you throwing in the bay? Never fished it before really.

Muskie, was down at Vitale casting last night......TONS of Bass, but nothing else.. Casting Rapala jerk bait type.
