Canandaigua baitfish south end

[Sk8man]

While perch fishing yesterday we stumbled across a couple interesting bait pics....what is most interesting is the density of them in those spots.

Maybe the abundance of bait is why the trolling has been so terrible

Perch fry? There were clouds just like that on Keuka this weekend in shallow and they say there aren't many alewifes left there..

Food for thought John but I think the way they were positioned and the density of them that they were alewives. I know folks (including me) were thinking that the smelt were basically extinct here but two years ago I was catching them while ice fishing at the south end. I don't believe these were smelt though as they usually appear near bottom (very close to it and down deep). In some ways it would be nice if perch fry but then again I also hope for alewives .
