Super User clayton86 Posted September 16, 2015 Super User Posted September 16, 2015 I'm switching gears to salmon and trout my buddy that got me into fly fishing called me yesterday and put me on speaker to hear the salmon crashing threw the creek telling me to get there asap. I'm headed down before work today around 4. Quote
bassfisher54 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Hows Honeoye been as of late? What would you use this time of year. First time going tomorrow trying to get a little insite Quote
Scorchx1245 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Going out on either conesus, Honeoye, or Cayuga Tuesday, anyone know how the fishing is on these lakes right now? Quote
PAGreg Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Rented a house on Honeoye for the family this weekend and I'm going fishing in a freaking tropical storm if I have to. Glad I just replaced/upsized my bilge pump. Quote
stratos122 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Fished honeoye last week very slow for me I only caught one bass. Quote
Scorchx1245 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Fished canandaigua, went into holiday harbor caught about 10 on 4 hours nothing big, biggest largemouth was 2 lbs maybe....oh well Quote
nosdog2 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Fished Silver yesterday in the white caps, only one other boat on the lake. Â Hammered the Northern Pike, ended up having to fire up the second live well. Â Ended up with a nice fish fry, biggest was 35". Quote
nosdog2 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Fished Silver again today; this time we were the only ones out. Â Hammered the Northern again. Â 10 in the box, with 33" being the biggest, along with 3 LMB, largest being about 3ish. Â That past two days, the NP have been nothing less than angry. Â Something fun about seeing your bait go blazing in the opposite direction at mach 3. Quote
rmcguirk Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Haven't been out in a couple of weeks. Â Will be on Conesus tomorrow. Â Given the weather we've been having, have the weeds died back back on WNY lakes? Â Is it full on jerkbait and lipless crankbait time? Â One of my favorite times of the year, other than knowing what's right around the corner... Quote
nosdog2 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Silver Lake has been great the past couple weekends. Â Â Â Â Â The family shot: Â Quote
nosdog2 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Another day on Silver; last time for me this year up in NY. Â Been a great year, waited till the last day to get my new PB. Â Not sure how much it weights exactly since I didn't have a scale, but it was the biggest for me. Â They were hitting good all afternoon. Â 2 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted October 12, 2015 Super User Posted October 12, 2015 Silver has been on fire. I held my annual "year end classic" tournament his weekend, Day 1 on Silver, day 2 on Conesus for all the casher's and winner's of my 2015 opens. On Sat. at Silver, we had two 20lb bags hit the scales, as well as another 19, and 18 lb bag. My partner Rick and I had 21.93lbs on Silver................good for 2nd place that day, as the leader brought in 23+ lbs!! Day 2 on Conesus was a little stingy, but we maintained our 2nd place position and brought home some $$ with a 15.68lb bag giving us 37.56 for the two day total, and also had lunker for the day with a 5.09 largemouth. WNYbassman and his partner (who fished day one solo and slammed the 23lb bag by himself while Noel worked) stayed ahead of us on Conesus with an 18lb bag and took the win with 41.85lbs for the two day total. I'll still fish till the snow flies, and the water is hard, but that's the end of my tournament season for 2015. Had a good year, and scratched another goal off my "to do list" which was catch a 20lb bag on Silver in a tournament. Still chasing a 20lb bag on Conesus during a tournament (I actually thought it would happen on Conesus way before Silver) and the first win on Conesus............we have finished 2nd in 5 consecutive tournaments there, we'll get it...........eventually LOL. My tournament results for 2015:  Old Orchard Beach opening day tournament on Silver : Cashed in 4th place with a 3 fish limit for 10lbs  My "Sunday Open" team tournaments on Silver that I put on:  June: We finished 3rd, one spot out of the money with 16+ lbs July: We finshed 3rd again, this time in the money, again with 16+ lbs, plus we had tournament lunker with a 5lber August: We finished 5th place, again one spot out of the $$ with 15 lbs Sept: We finished 4th...again...one spot out of the $$ with 17+lbs  My Conesus lake tournaments:  July "Aluminum boat only": We finished 2nd with 15+ lbs August  "SLBA friends and supporters Invite only" tournament....2nd again with 16+lbs  Our 3 hour Thursday night, 3 fish limit tournaments on Silver: #1....3rd and cashed with 7+ lbs #2....2nd and cashed with 10+lbs #3....5th and one spot out of the $$ with 7+lbs #4.....Won with 12+lbs #5.....our only stinker of the year....bombed with only 2 fish for 5lbs #6....fishing with my 6 year old daughter, we finished one spot out of the $$ with 8+lbs  And finally our classic... cashed with 2nd place with day one on Silver 21.93lb + Day 2 on Conesus with 15.63lbs for a total of 37.56, plus day 2 lunker of 5.09lbs  I was glad the tournament season was over at 3:15 yesterday...but LOL, now I can't wait for next year. 2 Quote

Hurricane Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Anyone in the Western New York fished at all lately? Probably the last nice week till the weather gets crappy.. Was thinking about hitting up the local ponds.. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted November 12, 2015 Super User Posted November 12, 2015 Anyone in the Western New York fished at all lately? Probably the last nice week till the weather gets crappy.. Was thinking about hitting up the local ponds.. I am still fishing, and doing decent. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted November 16, 2015 Super User Posted November 16, 2015 And that's a year for me. Had a pretty good day last weds. Struggled this morning badly...........fogged the engine, and began the winterizing this afternoon. With over 200 days on the water this season from early April till today, I am comfortable with this decision LOL. Anymore nice weekends/week days off will be spent lighting money on fire from the business end of my assorted firearms.....till spring. Quote
PAGreg Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I think I'm going to give it one last try this saturday. It may not be smart, but I've got to pitch the last few docks left in the water, one last time. Its an addiction. Quote
nosdog2 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Yep, going to head up to Silver for a few last times this Thursday/Friday before I put the boat up for the winter. Quote
nosdog2 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Should have left the boat at home! Â LOL. Â Was really slow last time out on Silver, 90% of the docks were pulled and only managed to pull a few 2-3 lb'rs out. Â Â Â Time to winterize the boat. Â Â Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 14, 2015 Super User Posted December 14, 2015 I really screwed the pooch on putting the boat up this year. Tried to beat the weather, which...............has been unseasonably fantastic. I could have fished the last three weeks. Oh well. Quote
PAGreg Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I know how you feel. I keep thinking to myself "it doesn't take that long to fog a motor, again..." Quote
wnybassman Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Got a last second invite to hit Lake Erie with a buddy yesterday.  Actually had to string up a couple rods before I rushed out the door, everything was already stripped down for the winter.  He has been doing quite well the last few weeks with multiple 100+ fish days and even catching 88 on Saturday..............then I get in the boat with him.  lol       We only caught 19 yesterday.    I did squat for size, but my buddy got a nice 6.1 and several in the 4's.   No complaints from me though!   Surface temp is still a balmy 47.5º, which isn't necessarily a good thing for us WNY'ers heading into winter.    3 Quote
Scorchx1245 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Reviving this thread. Anyone brave the cold or the 60 degree days? I went on Canandaigua lake in the kayak and caught one smallmouth in a channel by the city pier guessing 9 feet deep. It was 55 degrees and sunny! 4 Quote

Wasn't warm enough for long enough to change.............except that the ice that was borderline safe to begin with is now, IMHO, unsafe for the time being. Quote

I just assumed everything was locked up. I'm 2-2.5 hours from the finger lakes, so not easy to go check for open water. Might think about getting the boat out next warm stretch. Quote
