Bullhead Bite on Conesus?

[scramp]

Anyone tried the inlet for Consesus Bullheads yet?  Probably a little too early but heard the Pike are upstream.

To early. Lakes still iced up.

Any updates now?  Saw something on FB that they were gettting the bullheads down in the inlet....

Was viewing the 'eyes, some northerns, and carp at the inlet yesterday. It was loaded with 'eyes. It's an annual trip with the wife and grandkids. Went to the roof-top launch north of the viewing area and guys there were pulling bullhead from the inlet. According to the regs, it appears you can only fish the inlet to the west-running canal until walleye/pike season opens. Take some chicken livers.

They were biting good there over the weekend. everyone was catching them. Worm or chicken livers. People were running out of bait

We went Thursday (cold) and wind blowing out of the South and not a SINGLE bite.  Anymore updates?

 

When you say EVERYONE was catching them, you mean even the people forced to fish the creek versus throwing towards the lake?  Day/Night?

UPDATE from Sunday April 20th.  Bite was on::::

 

My lord were they on.  Took my 8 year old down with me around 3-4PM and right from the beginning it didn't matter if it was chicken liver or nightcrawler, they were biting one after another.  We caught probably around 30-35 of them in a 3 hour window, actually fishing with just ONE pole at the end, taking turns, one right after another.

 

The good news was/is, was the bite was on up and down the inlet there.  You did NOT have to be in the first spot casting towards the lake (however that was the best spot).  As it got later around 6:30-7:00, they just were hitting everywhere.

 

Was an EXCELLENT day/night, and something my boy will remember forever.  That I am sure.  He was talking about it the whole right home, while he was in the shower last night and the first words out of his mouth this AM.

 

ALSO snagged (NOT on PURPOSE) a pretty nice pike when realing in my bait quickly to check to see if had any bait left.  Probably around 32" pike.

Anyone ever fish the swamp where the inlet ends at?
