Well puppets and clowns it’s time again to get ready for the show of shanty city out there again this year. Yes to many people are claiming the best fishing in years, y’all need to stop that shiv and let people find fish for them selves. Otherwise in 3/4 yrs sodas will whine up the Dead Sea again where you can’t buy a perch over 8” it was almost 10yrs sense we had fishing as good yes but it keeps getting over fished and people are keeping perch down to like 4&5” was disgusting. I wish there was a min size to perch of 8” or more. And don’t get me started on the pike bite or the Gil’s and Rocky’s I haven’t had a pike to the hole on sodus in many a year. Way to long that fishery is not to good in the bay neither. Let’s all work for the better of the fishing. Good day

Sodus will never be the same since Facebook and other social media ect I know I plan on pounding them.again this year as I did last year even when guy where struggling to catch fish I always left with nice meal. As for the pike I caught 1 last year not even targeting them and landed time nice 28" female. Walleyes where caught last year as well. Hoping to find a few more of them this year

 I fish most bays from Sodus to the st Lawrence , plus of course Oneida and a few others lakes  , I’m never disappointed as I’m happy just to get out , and my freezer seems pleased
  Social media is here to stay So followers - lurkers can chase bites and there has always been chasers even before all this technology
 Guys play safe this season and have fun

I agree social media can get a bit irritating. However, to say Sodus will never be the same is a bit of an extreme statement. If ppl can’t go out and get a nice batch of fish out there maybe they should just sell their gear! ;D I spend a ton of time on all of the Ontario Bays on the boat, as well as on the hardwater. There are a ton of perch in the bay. Some years are better than others, seems like everything runs in cycles. Plenty of fish in that bay as well as all of the others. There will always be those who chase bites and look to social media for reports or a hot bite. That’s why I love boat fishing this time of year. Nobody’s around. I just go out and fish and use the knowledge I do have. Doesn’t matter what others on here or on Facebook have to say.

I'm afraid Ice Shanty is social media also. If people want to brag (and who doesn't at least quietly) then you are always going to have company.
Hope everyone has a great ice season this winter. Cya.

It does very true. Then to use it your spending time on gas to get there gas for the boat so on and so forth. And really that not the point as much as I really would not use it enough to justify it. Work seasonal 55hr mon to sat then got a nephew I help with racing, just busy. I know could work more and everything else and fish but I think it’s to much as it is.
Really I would love to have a boat

Hahaha- Brad I fished your holes once or twice 😁 *sounds dirty*


On a serious note, only thing I care about is social media ruining parking. Otherwise,  there are plenty of fish in 3,357 something acres of surface area in Sodus Bay.

Does anyone know if the perch live their whole lives just in Sodus Bay?? ??? ??? ;D ;D

sodus  bay is the only place in new York that has perch   and the only place that has  fishing pressure caused  by the internet or  guys  talking about it  at the  bar !!!!

there are  so many perch out there  right now  you don't need ice you can walk on the  backs of the  fish!  bring a wheelbarrel  and  as  many neighbor kids as you can to increase the limit!  in one  day  you won't  have to buy  meat  for the year!

hope I didn't  let out any secrets

Trapper, you are a man of many subtleties.
That just made me bust the buttons off my shirt laughing! None of your statements are true. There isn't a single perch left in Sodus Bay. Which means there can't possibly be a single perch left in Lake Ontario. Which would also mean that can't possibly be another fish left in any body of water that is connected with a channel to Lake Ontario. This can only mean 1 thing, that the thousands of people filling up wheel barrows with their neighborhood kids on Sodus Bay have caused all of Lake Ontario to become perchless.
I found all this info out from lurking on social media.

Are you kidding. Was just there well what used to be there. You must not have heard the water level is up so high so the US and Can can split the 50 something million, billion, trillion dollars a day sodus bay is gone. All Lake Ontario now. Now it’s captain jacks under the sea!

Sodus is one hell of a big place and no Facebook exposure is going to fill it up. You can find perch without people  close by close easily; been doing it for 45 years!For a few of those years the perch didn't show up!

Hey Fred, they are both doing great! And you’re more than welcome to fish with us anytime! I don’t get out on the big water as much as you I usually stick to my perch and flatfish all winter.

I totally agree. And there has been a few bad seasons seems to cycle I guess. We are on a up cycle currently
