Any advice on areas, and presentation?  Going to head to Conesus this weekened and want to catch some Pike, and/or Walleye or Bass.....  what lures ya throwing?  Fast/Slow?

So North end is where to be?  I think going to try to find some areas to drive around the lake, stop and cast at night one of these nights......Thanks RWHITE.  AWESOME JOB...

Any place to rent a boat out there????

Very nice pike for Silver.....Where ya fishing there?  I usually fish the East side by Macks or across over by the Silver Lake Marina.

Marcstevens, thank you!  I coach baseball down there 3x/weekly and never knew it ran back there.  I might try that.

As far as fishing the actual river, I'm DONE!  I've thrown crankbaits, worms on bottom, worms with split shots and everything else.  Only thing I've caught are rocks and lost some of my best baits.  FORGET the river.  Heading for the canal to try next.

That is AWESOME.....I've never had luck on Conesus casting (have caught a couple trolling at night).  You mind general direction?  South, East, West??

Any preference to color and assume at NIGHT.

THAT IS ONE HELL OF a catch there.

I'm going to start trying some of the access sites between Scottsville and maybe Avon.....that stretch.

Any advice at all?  I have NO EXPERIENCE river fishing.  Don't evern know how to properly present a minnow bait if threw it.....

Anyone seen if they are still yanking em out of there?  Thinking they would have slowed with the cold spell, but ready to come alive again.  Want to fish Pike down at Conesus, but after leaving two voicemails and sending 3 emails to Mark's Leisure Time Marine, not a single call or email back on a boat rental...  REALLY?

Looking to rent a boat for a day to do some Pike/Walleye.  Anyone doing anything out there?

Thinking Pike with shiners down by inlet....

Eye Spy, you charter?  Send me a P/M.

Anybody catching any eyes on Conesus? 

Conesus Inlet was hot when the weather was warm.  Can only fish a single pole when hitting.

Anyone ever fish the swamp where the inlet ends at?

Anyone ever fish the swamp there, where the inlet ends?  Some of them fish have had to made the jump over and not sure if anything else in there?

Hey BSMASTER, no those were not the "voices" again you were hearing.  The humming is actually that shocking tool he has.  Someone else answered correctly on where they released them....it was on the North end of the lake.

Conesus Lake.  If the wind is coming out of the South, go to Vitale Park (North End).  If no wind, or NOT coming out of South, the Inlet is the place to be.

UPDATE from Sunday April 20th.  Bite was on::::

My lord were they on.  Took my 8 year old down with me around 3-4PM and right from the beginning it didn't matter if it was chicken liver or nightcrawler, they were biting one after another.  We caught probably around 30-35 of them in a 3 hour window, actually fishing with just ONE pole at the end, taking turns, one right after another.

The good news was/is, was the bite was on up and down the inlet there.  You did NOT have to be in the first spot casting towards the lake (however that was the best spot).  As it got later around 6:30-7:00, they just were hitting everywhere.

Was an EXCELLENT day/night, and something my boy will remember forever.  That I am sure.  He was talking about it the whole right home, while he was in the shower last night and the first words out of his mouth this AM.

ALSO snagged (NOT on PURPOSE) a pretty nice pike when realing in my bait quickly to check to see if had any bait left.  Probably around 32" pike.

We went Thursday (cold) and wind blowing out of the South and not a SINGLE bite.  Anymore updates?

When you say EVERYONE was catching them, you mean even the people forced to fish the creek versus throwing towards the lake?  Day/Night?

Enjoy......There is a second one up there as well..

The DEC was in there shocking 'em yesterday (Thursday).  They took like 25 out and moved them over to the other side of the lake after recording lenght and weight, and tagging them.  Got nice video up on UTUBE. 

Any updates now?  Saw something on FB that they were gettting the bullheads down in the inlet....

Nice Pics, PVELYK.  Thank you for sharing.

Anyone on some advice/guidance on fishing the Canal?  Live in the Henrietta are and going to litterally be a stones throw away from it when move down around River Rd, this April/May.  Want to take the boy for some general fishing.  Any advice - can you just thrown anywhere on the canal or certain areas in/around the Henrietta area???

Thank YOu!
