Can't see pic but congrats to her[emoji106]

I see chapter 69 has a report this issue. First i have seen. Nice work Bob. Thanks!

Despite my conversations with 2 members of the Kayuta Lake Association Board as an aquatic biologist and employee of the DEC, they refused to accept that Tiger Muskys preferred pickerel as a prey source over bass in Kayuta Lake; even ignoring the evidence. Regardless, very large, thick tiger muskys were caught on Kayuta between 2011-2013 by trolling and using large (10 inch) sucker minnows over 5-8 foot SAV beds. Now the few which remain (probably 20-40 based on survival rates and harvesting of the original 500 stocked) would be all in the 42-46 inch range. The best lake now based on stocking rates and square acreage is North Lake in Forestport. Nearly 5000 fish are stocked each year in a lake which is only 307 acres. To put this in perspective, Otisco Lake gets 10,000 each year and is 2100 acres. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view, there is a small boat launch and getting more than a 16 foot boat on North Lake is very difficult. Regardless, North lake is an excellent Tiger Musky Fishery. There is another lake north of Boonville, Whetstone Reservoir, which is also excellent. Small lake, 10 foot max depth (not counting dam), high stocking rates and fish up to 48 inches.

good info. Thank you

7 fish hooked is a great day. Nice work.

looks like some slob is redoing his scow and dumped a whole boat interior on the causeway.[emoji12]wth?

I got two and lost one early today. All over by 8am.spinnerbait today. 4-5fow

Gorgeous fish[emoji106]

Fished there for 6 hours today. Had one going at the boat early but no score. Only fish i saw. Clarity pretty good for there,5'or so. I fished from my kayak today. Sooner or later i will get this thing slimed. there is a kayak launch on the lamoka side now. I used it on the way out. A waste of $ imo. Much easier to just pull it out on the grass.

I took my 105 lb husky for a kayak ride. About 50 yards later she got out and over i went. No doubt there are some adult esox there but i didn't find any. Soooo many dinks. I bet i caught 40 fish and the biggest was 20".

Fished here the past few days. First time here. If you want non stop action from Countless starving undersize pike and pickerel this is your lake. There is a lot of walleye trolling here. No boards or riggers,they all just troll slow with flatlines. I saw a few caught,all small. And i fell in yesterday.doh!

Good info,thx.

Beauty. Nice to see young guys hold them right.

i don't always lie about the fish i catch. Most of the time,but not always.

I thought the 11th was at Waneta? Website still has 2015 events posted.

Drive through the causeway,shut your boat off and start there. If they are hungry you will catch one there. The ones i've caught there have been in 1 to 10fow. They will hit anything when they're on so throw what you like. Good luck.

Nice one. [emoji106]I fished there yesterday. Caught about 30 lbs of bass and never saw a pike.

don't drink a whole pot of coffee before going out. Tough to pee from a yak.

Nice fish Bill t. Like fishn ny i get my pics with a go pro. I turn it on once the fish is netted. Then i wave the fish around for ten seconds and release it. That ten seconds gives me 300 stills to pick from and i get my fish back in water faster than most. A nice tool but not cheap. I managed to outlive my mortgage and can afford crap like that. Good luck to all Sat. I hate crowds and will start Tuesday.

I'm not seeing the pic but congrats. [emoji106]

Not sure why my pics post twice?

stuck a bunch of these guys,though.[emoji12]

i caught one small one with big boga damage. The poor thing's lower jaw was wrecked and had no big teeth.[emoji22]we did witness something cool. Fishing about 20 feet off a shale cliff we heard a commotion at the shoreline and some splashing. Two tigers were chasing a meal. A couple sunnies and a foot long brown swam up on shore to avoid being eaten. We chased off the tigers with our baits and after about 10 seconds the fish flopped back in and swam off close to shore. good time.

I've never done much in may on the SLR. Or anywhere else for that matter. I did catch a big bass yesterday,though.

i have been asked about these baits in a pm. I can't post a pic there. Probably because i'm old and stupid. At any rate the northerns in Conesus are suckers for this bait. The downside is they get bent up and hairless after 3 or4 fish.
