Thanks. We usually fish from 135- 170 ft of water. Keuka has a ton of fish in it but not really any size. We fished Keuka till canadaigua locked up safe. We have caught a lot of fish over 10 lbs in the last couple of weeks. Have a few over 15 and 1 even pushing 20

Fished south end deep water for lakers. Was with 6 other guys and my girlfriend. We all ended up doing a few lakers with 2 being 12 - 15 lbs. My girlfriend did her first laker ever and it was when she was all alone in the shanty. By the time I got to her she had the fish already out of the hole. Going back to try in the morning. Hopefully the ice will still be ok. Be safe and tight lines. First pic is mine second is my girlfriend with her first laker and the last is my buddy with a monster

No offense taken people just don't beleive without seeing pics or videos that's all. I wish I could figure out how to post cideos kn here cause we have some great footage

It doesn't take anything expensive to bring lakers to the hole. All you need is at least a 30 inch heavy duty rod with 8 or 10 lb florocarbon line ball bearing swivel to keep line from twisting and white tub jigs and the ability to hold on to your rod cause they hit pretty hard when the get excited.

i use barrel swivels also

like i said 15 to 20 lbers  im not on here to tell fish stories i  have videos and pics to back up everything i report. we just use heavy action rods with 8lb flourocarbon line  3/4 ounce jigs to reach the bottom   the most important thing to catching monster lakers is having good electronics

I dont pay attention to moon phase during the winter I have not found a case when it matters.  As long as the ice is on and safe its time to fish.  During open water (spring summer fall) I will pay attention to the moon cause if its full or close to full the bite will be mid morning instead of first light due to fish being active at night. just my observation

I want to see pictures of those!!!

Do any of you plan your trips or just pay attention to the lunar cycles? I downloaded the app "time to fish lite" it is free and it tells you the lunar phase, best times to fish from those and gives a rating of the day. I have tried not to plan trips around these as on poor days I have caught fish and on best days not caught any, as I am sure weather also plays a role that the app can not take in to concideration. But the last time I was out was on Keuka for the perch and we did pretty good and it was one of the highest ranking days of February. I plan on going on Saturday and Sunday this week and it is at almost its lowest for the month, so we will have to see how it plays out.... Thoughts?

Thanks panfisher and yes your absolutely right about the power that big lakers have especially through the ice but I actually bought the rod for walleye fishing next weekend and was just trying it out in the deep water and of course it cost me a big one cause of it all well lessen learned I guess.

I got onto the ice aorund 730 I went to the next small point south of the launch as i wanted to get away from the small crowd in front of the launch. I made my way out to 83 ft of water (thanks to my smitty sled) and set up. The ice was around a foot thick where I was. I turned on the humminbird tied on my go to canadice laker jig tipped it with 3inch berkley gulp smelt. I dropped it to the bottom and instantly trout were coming in for a look. I couldnt get anything going for about the first hour despite all the lookers. Then at aound 8:45 i got slammed and the fight was on. I had just gotten a new st croix 31 inch medium rod and it was bent way over. I got the fish to 35 ft when it decided to go back to the bottom half way down it gave a good head shake and pulled the hook Damn! It felt like a good one . I lost 2 other smaller fish before deciding to get my heavier rod out cause there was too much flex on the hookset with the medium rod. 20 mins later i was hooked up again this time with my heavier rod. After a 5 min battle I iced a 31 inch laker around 10lbs. By this time it was around noon. I fished for another hour with out a bite so I decided to pack it in All in all not a bad morning went 1 for 4 with the 1 being a nice fish. I will post the pic when i get home tonight
