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.
Alrighty then. Plenty of good thoughts here and all by guys who only want the best for the fishery. But with under three weeks to go i say leave the rules as they are for this one. We can have a polite discussion on changing things later. To me these tournaments are just a way to nag some of my sons to go out with me. I am 0 for 7 in tournaments but the quality time with my adult sons at these events has been priceless. I may bring a grandson to this one. On another note,what do you guys want to eat this year? I brought the chow last year and i understand there was too much. Input please.
Is this still on for the 21st? It's not on the website or at least i don't see it. Also there was talk of rule changes for this event at last week's meeting. It doesn't affect me as I have never caught a fish in a tournament but the word needs to get out.
Welcome and good c and r attitude! There is a tiger tournament at Otisco on may 21st. Put on by NY muskie's inc chapter 69. Register and launch at Otisco Valley Campground. Fishing starts at 7am.
I did a walleye webinar last week. It was through something called "zoom". I had to load an ap on my phone for it. It worked pretty good. For what it's worth i live only a half hour from the moose in Henrietta and have never made a meeting. I often plan on it but then i work 9 hours,walk the dog,eat dinner and then i'm done. I just can't stay up that late. I haven't been up past ten since I went out with Justin.
Chatauqua marine told me black suicks in front of the marina was the hot setup. I don't like suicks but ten to fifteen fow in front of that marina is a good spot. Whatever bait you like enough to keep wet and keep working is what works there. this 50 is the biggest i've seen there. My son caught it on a three inch gold redeye on my 60th birthday. Took him ten minutes of fishing. Kid doesn't even own a pole! Who knows with these critters?
I have fished there 2/3 times a year since 1995. Always casting,from 1 to 20 fow. I have no go to bait for there. I have caught fish there on dozens of lures but nothing i throw works consistantly. Once when my boat broke down the mechanic at Chaty
I would like some. This is the best fishing site around and getting the word out will make it better. If you pm me an address i will order some. Thanks
They don't drain the canal between Palmyra and Newark. Maybe that stability is why the fishing is so good there. I still shore fish the canal spillways in the fall for pike. Usually on Sunday when i can't watch the Bills anymore.they will be lurking in areas protected from current near the waterfalls.
