All this warm weather!!! Anybody know if Treman State Park launch is free of ice? Water level this morning is 380.35 and I have launched there when the water level is 379 without any problems. If you have any info on ice please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Launched at 6am and pulled out at 2:30pm. Ran right out to 200fow, set up and trolled North. Had a blank screen for nearly 4 hours. At 11am we were back in 250fow when things picked up.. Between 250fow and 150fow we picked up a nice steelhead, 4 kings in the 10-15lb class , and a few dinks. All on spoons down 70’ to 90’. Water temp down 90 was 45deg.

Have not fished the Oak since May of 2021 and discovered NEW and very NICE ramps at the public launch next to Black North Inn. Launched at 5:30am. Fished 85fow out to 200fow for the first few hours. There was a pretty stiff wind out of the SW. About 9am the water calmed down nicely and we moved out into deeper water. Our best water was 250’ out to 350’. Down 65’ water temp was 49 deg. Caught 3 small kings, a decent coho (all down 65’) and had a great (short lived) battle with a steelhead that hit a jointed Rapala off the lead core. Ha! How about this! While trolling at 2mph we ran over a submerged log. The log knocked my transducer out of position slightly. Instantly I could see all 4 Downrigger lines on my Lowrance as clear as a bell! Previously I could only see the lines sporadically. I’m leaving the transducer in it’s new position!

Sodus Bay Launch Status!!!!
Fjaq replied to Fjaq's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

Well I had to bite the bullet, get in my car, and drive 2.5 hours up to Sodus to check out the ramps since no one seemed to know the status of ice. Good news, Bad news. As of noon on 3/19/22 the launch next to Arnies was NOT usable. A large chunk of ice blocks the ramp. At first I thought the ice could be pushed away but it is frozen around the poles holding up the dock. See picture. There is also a sheet of ice about 500 yards out in to the bay. I am not sure if you could get around it. BUT The launch next to the Coast Guard Station is in good shape and clear of ice. See picture. Much better than last year when the water was too low to use the ramp next to Arnies and the ramp next to the Coast Guard Station was blocked with construction equipment.

Has anyone been to the Launch next to Arnies Marina on Sodus Bay OR the launch next to the Coast Guard Station? Thanks for any info on conditions.

UPDATE launched out of Treman this morning. No ice and plenty of water for my fishmaster196 Parking is a little scarce due to the many boats in dry dock. Water temp hovered around 37.5. Water was muddy in canal but clear on the lake. Picked up 14 LL, all were small, biggest was 14”. Great day on the water. Tried to get a laker but just could not get them to bite. They did a lot of looking but no takers. now I need to find out the status of the public launch On Sodus (across from Margaretta Rd, next to Arnies Marina. Or maybe the launch next to the Coast Guard station.
-
Thanks for the info. The current lake level is 381.7ft. I have been able to launch my fishmaster 196 at Treman when the lake level was 379ft. Hopefully no large build up of silt at the ramps. Tomorrow looks like a great day to be on the water. Thanks again

3 weeks ago the launch at Treman was locked in ice. Anyone been down by Treman launch recently? thanks
