Stopped in Roy's Marina today.They have been catching big jack perch for about a month now 

Glass factory Bay area and across the lake have benn good.Minnows and artificals seem to work well over forty feet.From what I heard it's a repeat from last years  good catch.The Marina does rent slips by the month resonable and it does save alot on hauling a boat.

I caught this brown last october in pultneyville harbor.Took a orange and silver cleo and the fight lasted quite awhile.Probably one of the biggest I have ever caught and the prettiest.Released it for another day.

Bear creek is a good spot till they shut off the plant.Permits for the ramp are avaliable at the town hall for $100. season non resisdents.I got mine friday but havn't got the boat ready yet.Next week looks good as cold and wind is forcast till then.Perch are biting in deep water at sodus south of eagle island.

Any reports on perch hitting on seneca?I remember last year was a very good year with many big perch.

Hi,

Im in the market for a new graph/gps and saw this one .It looked good but wondered if any of you have used one.I have a garmin 178c  now but I want a newer one for my searay.

thanks

john

A friend of mine told me the shipping on the river starts march 28.Wonder how much this will effect the lake level coming up this spring.Also long term forcast calls for another dry summer out west and a hotter and dryer summer here and on the great lakes.Outboards seem the prefered boat with this kind of forcast.

I thought this might be a good post

excellent report.You need to get a launching permit from the town of ontario to use the ramp.I plan on getting a season permit soon.

Im glad I still have my auxilary 19 ft. seanymph for this early fishing.

It seems this year the ducks are spread out .Found a few good spots east of sodus but alot slower than past years.Unless you want to shoot old squaw which are plentiful in the channel at sodus.Earlier there were more divers but slower now.The geese are starting to move back up north away from the fingerlakes.Should be good sunday.

Sodus should be good sunday.Alot of the ice at the north end has gone out the channel.Any place off sands point which should be open should be good later saturday and sunday.Coast guard launch is still open and good..Do watch out for the duck boats though

I hear henderson harber has alotof nice cats ,late spring or early summer are the most productive,perch was awesome this year

Lots of diver ducks on the lake near sodus.Alot of mallards were in sodus last week but have moved on south.Best bet is get a good duckboat with a blind .Lots of good shooting and no hassle with landowners.

Had good fishing for perch the last few weeks.It was great today with light windsSunday was good out of the wind by the islands.Bait was the most productive.and 35 ft. of water off the points.

Would a good idea for the state to either close the ramp as unsafe or put some rock in to prevent the trailers from becoming stuck,sodus ramp was closed months ago because of the same problem.

my question is why did they let out so much water in august when they knew there was no water going into the lake.It is only simple mathematics we would end up very low.

lake ontario was not good for bluebills last year.Alot of guys are now using the layout boats and are doing the best.My feeling is the feds buckeled under by the boat manufacturers of these rigs and raised the limits.You can spend a fortune with a big diver rig with layout boats added.

how many here actualy eat these kinds of ducks.I can barely eat a goldeye let alone a old sqaw or scotter.nefer shoot what you dont eat is always my moto

I called Hook line and Sinker tackle today. perch are back in the bay same pattern as last year.Perch are deep and are moving around the bay,look for the boats and fishfinders helps also.

A few perch were caught off the loop today.Colder weather should bring in a heavier run soon.

Henderson Harbor is where to go now for perch, Size is varied now.Fathead minnows work best and the Harware is only fifteen minutes from henderson Harbor.This is the latest from Chaumont Hardware.

Does anybody know if perch are in Sodus Bay yet? We searched all of our known hot spots and found nothing last weekend...despite Wayne Couty Fishing reports that said they were

in. We saw lots of boats searching. Hoping maybe they are in now, thinking of trying again tomorrow. Thanks for any help you can provide.

How was the blue green algea.Saw alot friday when I went down to the point?

perch were active on the north end 12 ft of water

Called Chaumont Hardware and they are getting perch about 50 ft. It is still alittle spotty but they suggested next week should bring in alot of fish.The pike also is excellent and bass to.Alot of salmon also.So next weekend guys Ill be in Chaumont for sure.Don't forget no limiit on perch up there.

Perch fishing has finally started to pick up. Chaumont Bay, Picton Island Channel have been some hot spots, fathead minnow has worked best.

I got that off the 1000 island bait store web site.

it also said got catches of pike taken also.
