FISHIN AGAIN?

I never saw a flag while I was there but there is a report on Ice Shanty that a couple were caught that day. We saw one on the Camera. I have been there when there are no flags flying at all then one goes off and someone gets a fifteen pounder. Ya never know. Use some smaller minnows ya might get Bass and Crappie, there are some slab Crappie in there.

If runnin a longer leader gets a few more bites then its worth the effort, especially during a tournament.

Just a quick update on my last trip. Went to Conesus on Wed. morning and fished until 3:00. My buddy put in tip ups but I just jigged for gills. Have no idea how many we caught. Between the three of us we kept around 50 decent gills and one bullhead. I saw other Bullhead swimming around. I lost a nice Crappie at the hole. Probably won't make it back there till next week. Might try Braddocks or Long Pond tommorrow afternoon although I know it has been slow, but it's close by. Till next time.

There were guys on it Saturday. Not me.

Well guys not much to report about. Made it down to Silver Lake a couple of weeks ago at first ice and got some Gills but didn't pound em. Yesterday afternoon I took the Boy to Braddocks for some Hot late afternoon Pike Fishin. Well it wasn't even lukewarm. Two hours and not a flag was seen on the entire bay. The boy was bored and now he hates Icefishing again. Oh well. Today January 28th I went down to the north end of Conesus Lake to pound on some gills. They were hitting really well unfortunately they were all small. Two might have kept. Might try it again this weekend if ice holds. If you see me out somewhere this season stop and say Hi. I will be the one with the black Steelers coat. Sorry Ravens fans I can't root for them this Sunday. See ya. Brian

I agree with Ray K. I like the Nesco original. I mix meat well and the dehydrate for about 3 and a half hours . I just put it on a timer and let it go. Works well for us.

I have tried that with the inlaws but they still come around.

I have been wanting to check that out, I figured that you could walk across the Bay with a short pair of boots. The bay will freeze fast.

Should be a fun weekend. There won't be many boats in shallow!!

I bought a pack of 12 Green Label Herring last week, filleted em and brined em. I had 24 baits for 8 bucks. They seemed to work just fine.

Thanx a lot Freddie. Hopefully the Black and Gold are done playin in Denver for a while. Man Peyton looked good last nite. Ben's gonna beat up on the Jets this weekend. We were out yesterday morn for a few hours. Kind of slow but managed a few.

I would say go offshore for a consistant Steelie bite. Not sure about Oswego but here in the Western end start about 400 fow and head north. Fish top 50 fow or so with spoons. You should find a few plus immature Kings. Good luck.

Nice job Shawn.

Yup we have fished the Oak this year quite often and have more than noticed the lack of courtesy. Some ports are like that. I guess Oswego is way worse. Oh well. Fishin has been good however.

Thanx guys. I think when the cold water is in and high it makes it tough. I don't have down temp but when I was getting Salmon on the 10 color I should guessed the temp was high. I never do too well with the divers and flashers when the fish are high,too spooky I guess? I tried meat for quite a while with no takers.

They do get supervised by Fisheries Biologist in the Cape Vincent office. That is where the Lake Ontario unit is. You can find the number on the DEC website I believe. It would be a 315 number.

Thanx for the report Rob. We are gonna do a lil derby fishin 2moro. Mayb there is a mid 30's king around.

Brian, just watched that video of your Laker on LOC. That was funny as heck when you guys got it in the boat. That thing is a slob. Good job.

You can use a snap just make sure it is small enuff so the lure can free float up the line. I usually tie direct to the hooks.

I am goin out in the yard soon as I get home.
