I saw a pic of a 26-29 lb drum (sheepshead) caught on Irondequoit bay. I believe it was on Dec site from last year. Was a state record. -
Fishing labor day evening 6-midnight for walleye. I'm new to night fishing and walleye. I have read some things but was hoping to get advice from anglers in our area. Will be on South end to half way up the lake. Should I troll in the dark or sit still & throw lures that make noise with a slow retrieve ? Any tips would be appreciated.

It will be a new moon and was wondering if it would be best to sit still and use a lure that makes noise/vibration or to troll ? Problem is when walleye come shallow at night would my boat or trolling motor scare them off ? I know trolling is successful at night based on what I have seen. So what am I not understanding ? Going on honeyoye Monday night after labor day boaters settle down. You think heavy daytime boat pressure will increase night time feeding ?

Don't let cold front conditions deter you. Fish slower, maybe a smaller presentation, and experiment with your presentation. Today I caught a 5 & 3 lb bigmouth in the first 20 minutes. I could have stayed on them and caught many more but had a goal of chasing down walleye, which I found in 35' at the end of the day on my way to boat launch....lol. FIGURES. Wass a good 1\4 mile stretch of bait fish and walleye/ trout. But I did troll Eastern shore in 15 ft of water w/2 Gators boated. 30", 24". Lures were perch Tail dancer, perch forage minnow spoon. Well I love fishing and if you do too and you like to share or discuss, please do. Good luck and enjoy ! -
Conesus Post cold front walleye question for Conesus
moonfish replied to moonfish's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Thanks. I went this am and caught a 5 & 3 lb big mouth in the first 20 minutes ! I decided to fish the area for another half hour and head to East shore where there are many humps in 15 to 20 ft. No luck. But did troll the shore and caught 2 Pike, one 30" 7-8 lbs. Was good day. On my way back to the launch, there was 1/4 mile stretch of suspended fish on bait in 35' of water. UNBELIEVABLE. Had to be walleye/trout. So many fish stacked. Wanted to fish them but needed to get home for dinner...lol. Thanks for reply and maybe talk soon. Dave -
First I would like to say hello to everyone. I LOVE FISHING. It would be nice to talk someone that is enthusiastic about fishing. I am 45 yo and have fished rivers streams ponds for 30 yrs. I finally have a boat and learning these larger bodies of water is going to take yrs. I have had some success almost every time I fish with an occasional day with 0 catches. So improving on strikes is a top priority for me. I am fishing conesus tmrw on the northern half. As you know it is currently post cold front conditions. Any advice on walleye locations, post cold front tips and techniques would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !

Conesus Post cold front walleye question for Conesus
moonfish posted a topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
I have fished rivers and streams my whole life. This is my first year as a angler with a boat. As you know there is much to learn on these larger bodies of water. I will be on Conesus tomorrow and will fish the northern half. Would like to know where the walleye hot spots are and tactics, lures or bait used during the cool daytime weather. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
