There are a few big pike around there. But there not many, if you get one thats good if you get two your lucky. I would say the best is more towards the west shore, kinda west/center of lake. At weedy places towards weed edges. 10-12 ft maybe. Good luck

Keuka lake is froze about out to the bluff. I havn't made it out yet, But I seen a report of some lakers being caught inn 22 fow jigging. On the shallower tip up side of fishing the usual pickeral, Lm bass, occasional pike, panfish for the guys tarketing them.

It is froze out maybe .25 mile on Penn Yan end. I dont know how thick it is, nobody was out there yet. Also the south wind could break some of that up today. This weekend looks like it could do some freezing.

As far as I know there isn't any ice there to speak of yet. The water should be cooled down but we need some colder calm weather for it to get started.

Well I fished the river for the first time. We rented a house on the river along the american narrows with a dock, so I could dock our boat right by the house which was nice. Sure is different fishing a river than a lake one moment your in 40 fow the next your in 120+! As far as catching fish we struck out on walleye which didn't really surprise me. Did end up getting a handful of fish with a few nice smallmouth. It was a fun experience an hopefully we can make it an anual thing.

Nice catch! Good to know their still biting. I'll actully be up fishing the river for the fist time this weekend.

Congratulations on the win!

These dots are the 26 line to the 30 line, an shows 4.5 mile, so like was said earlier its a little over a mile per number.

As I've worked for a logger already and logged my own woods and sawed high quality funiture grade lumber over the years I must say When I hunt public land and see these high quality hardwood trees that are mature and ready to be logged but are left there to rot is a shame. The revenue that could be had if these woods were logged and at the same time it would improve deer habitat. And yes if its managed right a good logger will cut down bad trees.

Thanks for the report an good luck on the salmon fishing! I'm hoping to get out after browns again this week.

Nice going! After hammering them on Monday we struggled out of Ibay today, only bringing one brown to the boat. Fished 9:00-1:00

No I never tried the divers of a planer board. I wouldnt be surprised if you could get a # 1 chinook of a planer board. We had 12 ft leaders of the divers. Divers out 15 to 25 ft was working for us.

First time out on the big pond this year. Went out of Ibay set up with 2 riggers, 2 chinook divers #2 on a 4 setting that I was using for the first time, and 4 rods of the planers. We ran spoons of the riggers and divers, smithwicks on the one side planers an bayrats onthe other side. Probably caught about equal fish on all setups. The bayrats were slow so we changed them out for spoons with 1 oz sinkers and ended getting 3 or 4 on those. I put 10 lb fluro leaders on my chinnook divers which was a mistake, cracked of 3 till we changed to 15 lb. We found the best in 12 to 20 fow lots of action, I think we finished like 23 for 28. 4 cohos the rest were browns. Picture below of lures that were working for us. Blue hulk was really good but lost them both on the divers, guess i'll have to get more.

Thanks for taking the time to do the reports Rick! Always interesting.

I don't know the condition of the ice, but when I drove past north end yesterday there was 4 tents out there.

The Branchport side locked up the other night. Don't know if it will get thick enough before the warm weather thats coming.

About 12 inch of ice in 20 fow, I Haven't been out deeper but that thick original ice goes out almost a mile.

Wow that is way down. For hemlock we usally walked in from north end which is just a short walk

Thanks. I might try it next week, sounds like faily cool weather in the coming weeks.

Does anyone know if Hemlock or Canadice lake has ice? Would like to go jig for Lakers.

We are getting out from indian pines. Lake was froze a mile out. Last week it gave a pressure crack from a mile out in to indian pines with some open water an week ice, only about 20 ft. wide, you have to be careful and get around that. I'll be out tomorrow. Bass, pickeral, maybe a pike on tipups. Lakers out in 20 fow jigging. I dont do the panfish- perch jigging but there is plenty people at it.
