Nice fish. I have been having a little fun out that way myself. Long trip, but worth it.

How about the bass tournament guy that decided to release his catch after the weigh in in the middle of my trailer as I was loading up. Should have run him over along with his bag. Union springs last week.

That is a classic picture. 

I think I just found the answer to my question on the DEC link. Lakewide.  Crap.

Is this lakeside. I intended to keep a couple salmon/rainbows tomorrow or should I just forget it.  We have been eating the perch with no ill effects - so far.

Yes I have!!  Unfortunately, the guy I fish with makes a constant right turn. Just adds to the fun.

Nice report and a great catch. The best part about it was the fact you did so well on the smaller boat and not a bigger boat with a lot of rods.  Basically how I fish. Nice going.

I fished there last year for the first time.  Our first two trips we did the exact same program as you, south too Sheldrake and back.  After that, we fished the east side around the college area and did fairly well.  

Chasing walleyes in Erie this time of year is the name of the game for us. Long ride but well worth it.

Nice job Les and Mark.  I was going to hit that lake soon but my boat would haver had a tough time of it.  I even got up early today and checked the wind. Went to Honeoye instead.  Looks like a beautiful day coming up for Wednesday. I bet Deans cove will be busy.  

You are probably right but I hope your wrong.  The only way to confirm it is for the samples to be tested in the lab.  Thanks for supplying them.

Just wondering how you confirmed that it was VHS.  Could it be another fish disease?  The DEC has only mentioned VHS in gobies in Cayuga but does not mention Canandaigua.  I would hate to think that another fish kill will happen in Canandaigua.  

Welcome back Les.  My turn  for three weeks the end of August-September - yuck.  Thanks for the report, I was thinking of heading down there, but not for lakers. Maybe in another week or two.

That sounds like a blast. I will try that the next time there.

Thanks. I keep everything up high. Probably hit the lake on the next good weather window.

Nice report guys. I fished that area a few times last year but I am more interested in bows and landlocks. How has the fishing for silver fish been in that area? Thanks.

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.

Ditto

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.

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.

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.

Honeoye is high. The docks are not is but the high water makes it easier to launch and retrieve. 

ok thanks. I will contact my buddy to see if he is still interested.

Can you put an anchor lock on it like the terrorva? I just was on their web site and it says you can if it is a post 2007 model.  Just asking for a friend that might be interested.

It received "strong" opposition from the assembly, and was approved by the senate.  

Taste like tuna
