  1. If you are on the east side, I might suggest Port Bay and Sodus for perch.  Might be tough now because we are nearing the end of the spawn so be prepared for very light taps as they suck ion the minnow. Easy to miss them this time of year.

  2. Keuka 4/24

    I decided to try the Penn Yan side for perch yesterday and basically ran into a pickerel fest.  We caught them on almost every cast.  The most interesting catch however were the two lake trout we got, 25" and 27" in 14' of water on the perch rigs.  These were the two worse looking anorexic trout I have ever seen.  No doubt, lack of food. I did spend some time looking for lake trout in the usual points and found zero bait. I hope there is some bait in other areas of the lake for these fish, otherwise, the lakers are going to be in trouble.

  3. I wanted weather in the 70's and wind under 10 and it looks like it will be around 65 and wind around 10.  Close enough for me.  I just signed up yesterday. Anyone else going? Fishing has been a little tougher with a lot of perch spawning and a few spawned out but there are still a few nice catches to be had. Hope to see a lot of guys there.

  4. Interesting. It was slower today but we were using plastics.  Fish seemed to turn off in the late morning.  

    It is nice to keep those big ones once and a while but I wish people would not make a habit out of it. There are a number of us now that limit our catch and size. Talked to a guy at the dock today that said he does the same and was happy that I do too.  Not saying that everyone should but just think about it.  Thanks.

  5. According to Senator Galavan's office, as of yesterday at 10:00 am, the crossbow legislation was still included in the budget proposal. This is further than it has gone before. The resistance to part GGG comes from Long Island and Catskill area bowhunters. That is a formidable group with a lot of money to overcome. We will all know soon.

  6. I have a raytheon dragonfly 5 with a down scan. All last year, I would switch back and forth between the traditional color sonar and the down scan.  I never saw a single fish on the down scan even while seeing and catching schools of them with the regular sonar. This includes fishing big schools of perch in Erie over 60'  I had a chance to complain to a raytheon rep at the Niagara show and he said I had to slow the chart speed down to the slowest setting and they would turn up. Even had some video loops of the difference between fast and slow chart speeds.  Don't get confused, not boat speed - chart speed.  Obviously, I

     have not tried this yet, but I will in the next couple of weeks. I will report back.

  7. Looked for a Keuka lake tournament on google.  I found a website called " fish 4 you". The site did not load on my I pad properly but I think it said April 8.  Not sure though.  I also tried looking at Avon anglers and did not see a schedule out yet.  Can you clarify yellow gold?

    Not that I ever perch fish.

  8. Glad your ok but now you scared the crap out of me for my first ever planned trip up there Friday.  The more we icefish, the more we live on borrowed time. Eventually, something like this or worse seems to happen and sometimes it happens to the most experienced of us.  I went through once in deep water and another time one of my legs found a hole and I went down to my hip. I still go a couple of times a week though. Just always have that healthy respect in the back of my mind.

  9. I was there yesterday. Not going today! Way to sketchy. One minute 4" and take a couple steps and the spud goes through in 1".

    Not only is there a contest, but the motor cycle guys showed up in the afternoon. All this on just a small fishable area. 

    I hope I am wrong, but conditions the way they are is a recipe for a swim.
