Great Fish!!!

Yesterday a guy unloaded at the Conesus boat launch. 1st he used the wrong side and launched (unloaded) at the loading side of the launch.Then he and his crew decided to leave the boat there and come back and launch the boat an hour later. Needless to say he tied things up for boats trying to load between 10:15 to 11:15 AM. Inconsiderate or ignorant or both?

In general it can take a bit of patience to launch and load at the Conesus State Boat Launch. I'm not about to become the launch police. Many folks don't launch or load that often and have large (say pontoon boats) so they often take time in getting in or out of the water. My only real pet peeve is the guys who load, then don't bother to pull up away from the dock to prepare their boat for trialing home. They just pull the boat out of the water and do all their stuff about 25' to 50' from the water thus preventing - making it difficult for the next guy to load. Just today I had to practice my trailing skills by weaving my trailer all over the place while backing up to get around a pair of such fisherman (who weren't novices). Oh well.

Got out tp Conesus finally. Fished Monday and Tuesday morning. Had to work for em, but got some decent fish. 34" Tiger very fat guess at 12 pounds easy. 32" pike also a chuncker and a 28" pike. Missed a couple so all in all the somewhat usual take for casting on Conesus. No pictures don't take them when I fish alone.

BTW are you sure it's only 8 lp's? A 37" tiger usually goes closer to 10 or even 12 on Conesus.

There are some big tigers (> 20 pounds and big walleye > 10 pounds) on Conesus. However pike and even more so bass are more common. For walleye try trolling Husky Jerks, Tail Dancers or Challenger's at 20 to 35 feet down. Or even better fish at night trolling floating Rapala's (long line). Good luck

I think your right on target it's a pike-chain _pickerel hybrid,

If you want walleye in Finger lakes try trolling Conesus. I don't target them but have caught a number of them from 24" to 28" over the years fishing for Essex.

Ya if your on Chautauqua go to this place http://www.chautauquareeloutdoors.com/bait-tackle-shop-chautauqua-lake/ He fished the lake for some 30 years and has great custom baits.

Sorry I thought I mentioned that in the add? $1200.00 dollars cash

Except for the mods made for fishing it is basically laided out like the Dakota 1470. A very similar but not quite the same boat. http://www.polarkraft.com/DakotaModel.php
