Any recent fishing reports for conesus ?

[moonfish]

Its definitely fall transition and I am fishing later in the year than ever before. I'm targeting bass pike and walleye. If you have a recent report or your experience this time of year on conesus, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much !

I caught some nice pike there two weeks ago. I was told yesterday the docks were out and water low. Guy said he used waders to launch.

Wow ! That's surprising. Guess the baitfish are still shallow. Think on Monday I'm going to try for smallies. If I can't find them in a couple hrs I will target pike & lrg mouths. They should be midway on the lake points I believe ? Thanks for the tips !

We have been doing well on pike last 3 weeks. Averaging 5 fish or so a trip. All 25" to 33". Have been throwing a Fluke on a 1/2oz jig head for smallies but the pike won't leave it alone. Spinnerbaits also taking fish.

Bosun, thanx much. I like throwing swimbaits too ! Yeah the pike eat anything swimming. I like to throw some lures without a leader but don't want to get bit off either. Hate that ! I may fish deeper just because of that reason.

Oh by the way I live near rt 15/martin rd, just a few miles away.

Use 15 to 20lb Fluorocarbon leader to cut down on toothy break offs. Way tougher than mono. Seaguar is the best stuff going. Weed edges around 15ft have been most productive for us.

Been getting pike not quantity, but nice sized ~ 36, 34, 33, 32, 30, 29 in recent outing. Nice fish 7 to 12 pounds. Definatly not shallow ~ 14 to 18 FOW. I use Seaguar Fluorocarbon homemade leaders. 16", 60 pound test "double-uni at one end a clinch knot at the other end" never a bite off and they don't my effect finesse baits like my 1/2 oz. Jerkbaits.
