Did you ever get out there? I want to try for a laker on hemlock, but dec regulations say ice fishing hemlock illegal

Sent from my SM-G998U1 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
 

Thats just at the north end. You can only shore fish the north end but there are buoy things that you can see any part of the lake south if that you can fish. Im going out today

Canandaigua Lake has some of the biggest pickeral around - north or south ends

South end would be better presuming they go into the same pre-spawn cycle as pike but Canandaigua is too far especially with gas prices

If i managed to get out there though what areas of either end should i hit specifically 

Not impossible there have been pickerel identifed in parts of Lake Ontario

Never heard of a pickerel being caught in the bay

Does anyone use horsehair worms for bait and have luck with them. I know what they are(and they terrify me) but i was wondering if anyone has had any luck with it especially if they do well with crickets and grasshoppers

Lol if bill a416 passes I’m probably gonna get put in one of those camps for being unvaccinated

What brand makes the best cigar shaped float that you can slide and use a pin to peg that are cheap and you can buy in bulk

I had zero side effects from my Phizer shot . 3 days and I'm still not myself . One of the guys who gave us the shots had to take a few days off. 

So it must be powerfull . The way we got the opportunity for the shots was we were working at a super big shot in the health care industrys house and asked us if we wanted it . I watched him get his so if anyone would know about these things , he probably would . But you never know. 

 

We see adds all the time from lawyers on TV , did you take this or that drug , you may be entitled to compensation from long term side effects.  

 

There are pro athletes who won't take the shot , and one is a friend of mine . And they get chastised and shunned for it . Who's to say in the long run , they aren't the ones who are right on this . 

 

 

Merry Christmas 🎄🎄

 

Well guess your going to wait 75 years to find out

Wonder what

Slot limits do not work well with pike.  We used to vacation in Canada and they put a slot limit in place.  The pike fishing went to hell a couple years after they put it in place.  

Guessing the big ones ate the average sized ones

What really hurts is the scum that take  65 of them for eggs from the stream that were recently caught good they were caught but the damage was done.

Totally agree though I think slot limits would be something to focus on first as it would help a lot more species of fish

After seeing several big fish people have taken home to eat I think we should start a petition for slot limits as the removal of the big females really hurts the fisheries

I have been to the conesus inlet several times but the only times I saw the pike successfully jumping over the dam I didn’t have my phone so I was wondering if anyone had footage of them successfully jumping over the dam

We used to take tons of daredevils up to Canadian outpost pike lakes n do outstanding. Johnson silver minnows didnt do half as well for us plus I trust a treble hook on the daredevil many times more than a plated single hook that was hard for us to sharpen on the johnsons.


#1 lure of 4 Musky Inc National Champions in last 3 years.



 

Treble doesn’t matter pike love daredevles more then bass like senkos and if the hook is good it will get hooked

I have only had luck with the daredevle

Have you guys done better for pike with a daredevle or Johnson silver minnow and for the minnow with or without a trailer and with a trailer like a curly tail grub how do you rig them as I have seen several different ways

No luck with the minnow but did catch one on the daredevle reeling it above and through the weeds I forget if that cast i was giving it a slow steady retrieve or a little bit faster so it goes more erotic

Thx though I haven’t gotten any in the spencerport or holly widewaters so this might produce

Any other esox addicts looking for a buddy

Where in Rochester is a good place to get my auger blades sharpened

There’s this one spot around the dock at the boat launch where there can be 10” of ice and people still go through

Ok sweet I did the same thing and passed my driving test yesterday
