My wife has been trying to get to go out the past few days. Then again I did tick her off Friday...

Nice fish. Monster! Have you ever fished 7th lake? Have always wanted to stay at and fish off Deer Meadows.

I can't decide where to go tomorrow. Honeoye, conesus, silver, sodus, bradocks, other. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the report. Trying to figure out where to go. Perch are one of my favorite.

Did you hear that Mother Nature?  First Ice!  Next Week! Right?!

Thank you all for the information.  I've been sick in bed with the flu all week...just getting around to responding.  'Old Man',  that's a generous offer, I may take you up on that.  I live in Macedon.  Not sure if getting out to Bass Pro Shops is in my cards this weekend.  Need to get healthy for first ice!!!

I am looking to purchase an underwater camera to take out ice fishing this winter.  Any suggestions, things to avoid, things to look for?

Boy, I'd be tempted to go a bit further south to Hammond Lake for crappie.  About 6 years ago the DEC dropped a boat load (no pun intended) of those wooden slat cube fish structures throughout the lake.  We were camping there at the time and saw them deploying them.  If one could find one of those clusters with crappie hanging out on them...

Plecos4sale, how was Conesus today? Saw a lot of folks on the north end today. Has the action picked up? Any crappie?

Does Mack's sell bait? It's been many years...

It's not all it's quacked up to be. Sorry, couldn't resist. Never fished. I often wonder about some of these smaller bodies of water. Year's ago my father and I used too fish this pond near a gypsum mind in Oakfield. It was a gold mine. Then folks ruined it... got posted.

Not seeing many folks out there on web cam past few weeks - all season actually compared to last year. Wondering how the panfish are biting. Would love to bucket a few crappie along with some gills.

That is one huge perch! Good family fun.

Year's ago my dad and I used frozen smelt right from the supermarket for northerns. They outfished live bait. Wonder what the ruling would be on that.

Do they taste any better through the ice?

How is the ice holding up? Hopefully it will survive today's and tomorrow's warm weather.

Honeoye? Guessing based off the reports if been reading. Too sick to head out myself - really bummed!

Has anyone tried fishing for crappies at night on Conesus?

Nice sled. It is fun building ice fishin stuff. When i was younger my father and i build many different types of ice fishing sleds. Made the first one out of my old wooden toy box. We even built a collapsible shanty which i still have.

I miss the Red Green show. I'll have to Google that as see when it is on. - Yes to the duct tape. I have my 8 year old primed with that for a fix for everything.

I was out on the same spot the day before. Took my 8 and 11 year old out for the first time (along with the wife who boasts about always out-fishing me). cought nothing but did have one hit on a bass minnow on a tip-up. Hope to get out there again soon.
