Went this afternoon for lakers off Onanda. Had quite a few hits while jigging in 130ft. Caught 2 little ones. Seems they weren't hitting hard today. Small bumps only.

Hey guys I really appreciate all of this and I know the kids will to! While I read all the posts I can't help to wonder if all these donations wouldn't be better served starting a similar program at another library. Maybe Seneca or another one of the finger lakes. I know a few people in the DEC that will help promote it and push it through.
Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks guys! The fishing pole program has been a HUGE success! I put 16 poles and 16 small tackle boxes with some lures hooks and sinkers at the library 4 years ago. The program pretty much runs itself all I need to do is restock the boxes and retie hooks onto the pole once a week. Believe it or not at any give time during the fishing season there is maybe only one or two poles in the rack on any given day! The kids really use the heck out of those poles! It's been my dream to start a fishing camp for kids but unfortunately my job requires me to travel to often to devote the time.

Lol some people think they own all the fish in the lake! I have lived on this lake for the past 40 plus years and have fished it almost just as many. There is a reason for sites like this! Fishing is not supposed to be a loner sport! I run a fishing pole rental at the public library just to get kids out and fishing again! We need them to keep the sport alive. Rental is free all they need is a library card and a want to enjoy the outdoors. People who want to keep all the fish to themselves reflects negatively on how the sport is meant to be! Share the fishing reports and share the sport! Especially with the kids!

I was one of the guys north of you on the west side in front of butler. Spent most of the day trying to find them. Couldn't find anything but smalls and yes all on minnows.

Good action this morning but allot of smalls. Then it slowed right down. I just got off the ice a few minutes ago. Seems I'm having a hard time finding the big ones lol.
