Pike senko

There’s a limit of 50 unless you’re in Jefferson County. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

Unless things have changed recently, there is a limit in perch. It’s something like 50 per day, but still a limit. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
A night of firsts

Made for a good supper, too. Even my super picky eater of a 5 year old liked the perch I caught. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

I’ve caught 2 pike on senkos. Both were green (pumpkin?). Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
It's a good day if I'm out with friends and not at work. Anything past that is just icing on the cake.

My 7 year old LOVES fishing, but my 5.5 year old would rather be inside on his tablet, so it took a little convincing to get him to give it a try. I picked them up early from daycare, stopped for drinks and snacks, and he ended up having a lot of fun and wants to do it again. It definitely helped that he caught the first fish (that his older brother helped him unhook and release). He even lipped and released the bass that I caught on a bad cast.

Dumb question from a newb: what’re these fleas you’re talking about? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I'm looking for places to take my kids fishing. I know about Conesus Lake and Vitale Park, and I'm wondering how the bank fishing is on Honeoye, especially around Sandy Bottom Park, and Honeoye Creek in that area. Is it worth taking them during the summer? They're ~6 and 7, so their attention spans are pretty short, so having to work hard for the fish is not idea. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I found this reel while on a bike ride today. The rod it was attached to was broken in multiple places. The reel has a bit of road rash and a couple small cracks that I’m attempting to repair. What rod would you put this reel on? I was eyeing a 7’ Ugly Stick for it, but I’m open to other options as well. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

1000 islands first time
camper4lyfe replied to Dan P's topic in St. Lawrence River Fishing Reports - 1000 Islands Fishing
Smallies will usually be in 30-35 FOW on sholes and western points of islands. A drop shot rig with adequate weight works great (I’ve had to go up to nearly a full ounce in strong current areas). Works work really well, and I’ve also had decent luck with Senkos. If using worms, keep the off the bottom or you’ll be catching gobies most of the day. That’s why the drop shot rig works well.

Removing the spillway would remove the prime habitat. It's retaining the water in there so that they CAN spawn there.

A lot do make it over the spillway. I'd imagine many of the ones that can't make it over will spawn in the creek below the spilway, along with the walleye.

Pike are moving pretty good now. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Also got to see a bald eagle while there yesterday. When we got there, we were the only ones there. By the time we left, the place was pretty packed, so try to time it so you’re not on top of other people. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
