MN Native relocated to Webster, NY year and a half ago looking for the absolute best ice fishing in the area. My parents are flying in from MN and the weather here is setting up well for ice fishing. My Dad and I have done some pretty darn good ice fishing trips in the past in MN/SD. We're limited for time while my Dad is here in NY so I'm looking for the best one day ice fishing experience within reasonable driving distance (couple hours ok). We have caught true JUMBO perch in South Dakota, but I've heard of some dandy perch in the deeper Finger Lakes. He's never fished for trout so I would love to get him a laker or any trout for that matter. What would you suggest? I have all the gear. Just zero experience ice fishing in NY. I'm not looking for your secret spot on the spot, but would appreciate any suggestions or guide service referrals. Thanks! -
Moved to NY from MN a little more than a year ago. This is my first NY deer. 147 3/8 gross 137 2/8 net B&C. Shot about 2 1/2 hours into the NY season. I was concerned about my MN deer hunting trip being shorter than I am used to with only 3 days to hunt compared to 9 last year. Opening morning I shot this nice 10 point 3 minutes into legal shooting time.

I'm looking for the absolute best opportunity to catch fish and I would like to it with my wife and three kids. Charter on Ontario, St Lawrence, Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, Niagra, where??? We don't mind a hike to get to a honey hole. We don't have a boat so we either need to be able to rent a boat, hire guide or shore fish. I'll share pics of our catch Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Legacy @ Sandy Creek
jacobj12k replied to Legacy's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Alewives were thick Sat. & Sun morning on the lake shore at Maxwell Creek as well. I've never had worse luck losing fish after fighting them for a while. I lost countless fish Saturday with one 10 minute fight with a nice brown ending only twenty feet from shore where my son was going to net it for me. Sunday I had less bites, but saw a ton of top water action with the alewife buffet. Being new to NY I am not fully read up on the DEC regulations or I would have done as Mortigan suggested and brought a bunch home for the freezer and used them under a float. Sure wish I had access to a boat so I could follow the fish as they move away from shore. It's been fun catching my first and several more trout this winter/spring. Now I need to check some salmon off my list. AND bigger trout, 8 1/2 lbs is best I've landed and weighed.
