Very limited shore access. Fall, you could fish of Onanda park on the west side. Drops deep off the little fishing floating dock they have. 100+ fow is in easy casting distance and trout are somewhat attainable with a little patience. For pickeral (no pike) you could fish the pier in the later part of fall/early spring. Another spring option is the outlet. Stocked with browns and usually pretty good fishing early spring. There are pike in the outlet which runs through Shortsville.

Mike, That was a lot of boats for a Tuesday! Morning wasn't bad for us with a few up north on jigs and some average bows mid lake. The evening was not so good. 2 short grabs on jigs and lots of chasers but no takers. Threw the trolling gear out with less than an hour left and finally got them biting. I'm really looking forward to September!

mottman, I saw you out the other day. I have been out the last 4 days with moderate succes and not marking much either. We have been averaging 5 fish per trip but the last 3 trips produced quality. 11lb laker today, 8lb rainbow yesterday and 2 bows the two days previous both over 6. Jigged until dark on Friday and landed a 10+laker jigging but the fish that showed on the graph after dark was amazing. They are there just not feeding heavy yet.

I have 2 brand new low profile swivel bases I wont use because I have traxs tech swivel bases. Willing to let them go pretty cheap. Paul

Talked to the guys from FLCC at the dock on thursday and they said its a combination of several factors. The bacteria itself is naturally occurring but coupled with the heavy storms over a week ago and all the silt making it difficult for the fish to breath causes severe stress and the fish cant recover from the bacteria. This die off is nothing compared to last year. They are also looking into bait populations. Not just alewives but shiners etc..Les, when you noted the floating fish first the following 3 days seemed to be the peak. I was out last night and this morning and what a difference from last week. We hammered the lakers jigging Sunday night with 2 around ten pounds and the rest over 5. This morning the lakers weren't so agreeable so we ran a rainbow spread and hooked 5 releasing 3 in just over an hour. Looks like the lake is setting up on a summer pattern fast now as I marked a ton of bait up high over deep water with lots of big hooks in the 80-120 fow over 200. The water we were fishing in is still murky and no where near the usual color and clarity. Weed mats were pretty heavy center of the lake. I wonder what impact the winter had freezing the lake over? We are still catching lakers in 30 FOW and many of them have had a large fat build up in the belly cavity like a deer in late muzzleloader.

We were targeting Browns Saturday morning in 50-60 fow and the amount of Lakers that were coming up to the rigger ball was impressive. We set a waypoint on the GPS and went back for an afternoon trip at 4pm and instantly got into them jigging. We ended with 7 in the boat ranging from 5-8lbs. They are definately still hugging the bottom in the shallow drop offs. We caught lakers as shallow as 28ft right on bottom. We have not run a wire since they closed the lake over Memorial Day weekend.

Docks on the North End were above water this morning. Pending anymore strong storms I think Canandaigua will be down and fine for the Tournament next Saturday. I'm sure the big concern was the amount of boat traffic this weekend with the forecast for Sunday, Monday.

Rod holders were shipped and I sent the gentleman that bought them the del. Confirmation #. Had to abruptly move when i took custody of my son and i offered the buyer a free charter as this certainly was not his problem. [ Post made via Android ]

Picked up a father and his 11 and 13 yr old kids right at seven am just south of Pelican pt marine. Started right away on a north troll that produced a nice smallie on a 6 color cor followed by a fair laker on a ff. Smallmouth hit a sutton 22. Backed it up with a 16 inch bow. Took a few more small bows and a nice bow On the same lure. Little slow mid morning but it did pick up at the end. [ Post made via Android ]

Mike, Sounds like you had a good week! Went by you Thursday morning by menteth pt around 10:30. Thats what time my charter wanted to go out. Didnt pick anything up till we got south of Onanda. Ended with 5 bows and only one laker. Another charter guy out that morning did three small lakers. [ Post made via Android ]
