    Smelt

    I have never tried it before and I have been thinking of giving it a shot. Can anyone give me a few hints on how to icefish for smelt? Duck Killer
  2. Hell I use to go to the pet store and buy rosy reds by the pound! Duck Killer
  3. If you look on the dec web site you will see you can take it online. It's not as good as sitting on a class and have the interaction but atleast you will get it done. Duck Killer

    Pike

    Good to hear!!! I showed a guy back in the 80s how to ice fish. This guy didn't have a job and had a bunch of kids in the inner city. What happened next was this guy fished every single day down at Braddocks, Cranberry and Long Pond. He kept every single fish he pulled out of the hole. I think he single handedly killed the fishing in those spots for many years lol. We used to pull 20 pike a day out of the ice and every single one went right back in. Duck Killer

    Adding flash

    Good point with the yarn! I'm going to try that tomorrow! Duck Killer
  12. Hey guys in the past I have added flash to my tip ups by putting a mepps or another large bladed spinner to my rig. Believe it or not it works real well for pike and pickerel. Truthfully it works better on bright days with the snow cleared from the hole so the light can get thru the ice. Just a helpful hint if anyone wanted to go for predators. Duck Killer
  13. Good day out on the ice today next to Wegmans in Canandaigua today. Got out at about 2pm didn't feel like driving out to bradocks for pike so took the kids out for some Bass action. Had a bunch of flags but only managed to hook up once. Kids had a blast and that's all that matters!
  14. Nice thanks for the update! Now we just need to find the eyes out there lol.
  15. Had one until I got married lmao! Happy new year!
  16. I have a hub and love it for taking the kids. Once your out of the wind and have a heater in there it's warm. Plus bring a ball to play with instead of staying in the tent. My kids love passing the football!! The clam isn't to tough to drag without a snowmobile. But the hub is cheaper!
  17. I remember back in the 80s we were able to use 5 tip ups 5 tip downs (hand lines) and 2 jigging poles per person. Picture that mess when you hit a school of perch!
  18. Yes that would be me lol. I fish there when the ice is not so good in other places. Or the wind blows us off the lake. Good place for crappie just before ice out.
  19. Good ice on the north end of Canandaigua lake. 4 inches of good ice at lagoon park behind wegmans. We caught 4 bass and 3 pickerel in 4 hours of fishing. Good place to stay out of the wind as it is pretty sheltered.
