Thread: WHATS HAPPENING IN NEW YORK WATERS?

Hey Seneca, Sounds like a good weekend. I fish at my camp on Hyde Lake right down the road from where you're at. I was at Musk. years ago and we smashed them! Only one way to get on and that was at Genes... Where are you finding fish during the day? I don't like getting up to early so I have a window in the evening I know where they're at. That lake is like a bowl to say. Weeds on each end, rocks and cliffs on each side. I find them just outside the weeds in the evening but only for about an hour then gone. Are they in the middle of the lake just roaming or in the weeds.? Thoughts? I haven't been on in awhile but will post a pic or two when I get up to camp more.

We caught them all day long--we fished the edge of the weeds--My brother works for AL Blades and has been going to Genes camp for 25 years !!!!

Nice 4# Bass my nephew caught

Nice catch SS those some nice size crappies.

Nice fish and great pics. When I looked up thelocation of the lake, was surprised to see how close you were to black lake and that you made the decision to fish Muskellunge instead of Black. Now I can see why. Thanks for sharing your adventure with the group. Don't know how much longer i can put off the temptation to fish for bass, but I really enjoyed the learning process of crappie fishing. And there were always a couple guys that would school us on how to fish for crappie. Luckily for us they were willing to share their knowledge with us, to insure we have more successful outing than disappointments.

Come-on guys someone must be fishing and have a report. I have been under the weather but planning on getting out soon. If I catch a 6" perch it is going to be posted to get this site going. I look everyday for new posts but has died off lately. I know other guys look forward to the posts. Not asking for your honey hole but to me is fishing when I can't get out. Thanks for the guys who have posted.

I believe the number of posts coincides with the amount of successful activity the ny fisherman have catching crappie. Having just undertaken fishing for these crappies myself, I realize that my success rate was going to be a lot higher during the spawn when the crappies were in shallow water. Now that they are suspend in schools in deeper water, they become harder to locate and fish. So, the number of people catching them drops off dramatically. Further, a number of fisherman revert to night time fishing. When the schools move up to feed around the weedlines. I myself have enjoyed learning about these fish but I will also limit my crappie fishing to pursue bass then in the fall and winter, perch and bluegills. So I probably will be posting on a crappie website less.

Fished Lamoka sunday for only the second time this year--we have been busy --bought a 31 yr old bass boat and tried it out and it worked good and we caught a LOT of fish---Cleaned 4 gallons of fish---used plastic tubes--power bait minnows and a several different tubes--fished from 7:00am to 12:30 pm--
