I really just asked about the fishing. Has anyone been there and how have you made out?

Has anyone been to Seneca in the last week or so? Any reports from Sampson?

Has anyone been to Sampson or Seneca in general for perch? Was thinking of going in the morning.

I tried perch fishing from shore this afternoon. I went to Sampson and Seneca Lake park along the canal inlet. No perch. In fact I never saw anyone catch anything. It was a great day to be outside.

I was at Sampson yesterday also. Nothing, did see a guy in a boat get a few. That was it. I blame the crazy weather this year. You never know things may pick up.

Anyone been on the ice today?

I ice fishes the marina last March. It was a mad house but we did pretty well in a short time. 10-13" fish and half a bucket in a few hours.

HA! I've seen them get some nice ones the few times I have been down there. I have heard of big ones 14" and more being caught on the "good days ". Never been there on a good day though.

When I see the guys at Sampson fish off the breakwall, their rig looks a bit different. Looks like a 1 or 2 oz sinker and one or two droppers off them with assorted baits on them.

Thanks for the info!

Ice is 5 to 7 inches all the way across the South end. Maybe 5 inches of snow with 4-5 inches of slush between the snow and the ice. Drag while not perfect could have been a lot worse. Parking lot was plowed. Perch were hitting with an occasional bluegill for me. WAX WORMS and perch minnows were working well. About 15 shanties were on the South end with maybe 20-30 more guys on buckets.

The cold temps tonite and Thursday will hopefully freeze up the slush. Plan on going back Friday. The weekend I bet will be a zoo.

Did you get out today? How was the ice and the drag?

Has anyone been to Sampson lately? I'm thinking about that for the weekend at some point.

We're heading up to Black Lake this Saturday. Anyone have any reports?

Where were you?

I was there yesterday. We came in off Shaker Road. Went out to about 30 fow. The drag was terrible! it was nothing but slush! Two of us managed to get about a dozen keepers (9-11") and fought off a hundred small to tiny ones. We did meet up with a guy who was near us and he had about a half bucket of keepers. Minnows did better for him and spikes and minnows for us.

I was there yesterday for about 6 hours or so. 1 small perch, 1 small pike. I heard of 1 pike around 7lbs the ones I saw other folks catch were all small. The perch fishermen I talked to said it was very slow. Some of them came from Irondequoit and they said it was slow there also.

Thanks guys! Are you using minnows or spike\mousies\etc?

I'm planning on going to Honeoye next weekend. I haven't seen any posts about it. Has anyone been there? If so, how did you do?

Where do you get bait at conesus? Is there still that bait shop at the north end?

Has anyone been to these lakes? How have you done? How is the ice?

I saw a picture in the paper of a guy ice fishing on Braddocks last week. Has anyone been there and if so, how is the ice?

How was the ice?
