now's the time to catch some pike near whitewater in the canal spillways. got this one yesterday at swift's landing throwing a bucktail right into the falls.

Nice pike! I fished the same spot today from 3pm-6pm using a rattletrap, chart/white spinner, jig under a float. All baits took fish!

i ended up doing four nice smallmouth and a surprise walleye (so i guess i can make this post here )

i managed to take a pic or two.

nice. you were in my spot so i fished the other side. i think the pike go after the walleye that stack up at the falls this time of year. aquaduct park is good too. so is the area behind mobil/pactiv. i fish swift's a lot 'cause i can walk there. the boat launch behind the fire dept. in macedon is killer for smallies.

yup that was me! haha, sorry about stealing your spot. I would have been absolutely fine sharing it, plenty of room!

Id love to drop shot some live crayfish next time!

thanks for your original post, that was my first time there! those were the biggest smallmouth i've caught from the Erie Canal.

NICE pike!! thanks for the information. where is swift's landing?

[old man]

that sounded a little rude,sorry. it's not my spot. swift's landing is a park between palmyra and newark.
