Here's some of the interesting fish that I picked up over the past few days on Cando. They represent moments of exhilaration that made the hours of no flags, wind, rain, and 6" perch worth every second!

19 1/2" LMB

20" pickerel

Nice largemouth! Sounds a little sketchy out there to me, I think I'll pass on tomorrow. Besides, I have a date with a smoker and a pork shoulder for the 500 on Sunday!
Good luck out there and keep it safe!

Fished out by Hyder today. Kinda slow, only got 8 YP dinks. Did get a nice 20+" pickeral in 5 fow on tip up. Heading out to south of island in the morning if not too windy. Good luck to all this weekend.

Ya Esox, I hooked a small 26" tiger this summer on lighter gear and it was the most violent fish I've ever caught! Still chasin a biggun. I have been catching lots of fall fish, mostly in the 12"+ range, you think thats too big?? Thanks for the tips!

nice fish system

Fall Fish are greasy little buggers, I wouldn't want to eat one. After all, I believe they are overgrown shiners. I bet they do make great bait though.

perchtrapper · « **Reply #430 on:** Feb 25, 2012, 04:44 PM »

Caught a couple fall fish couple weeks ago @ the haystack looked em up that nite on the dec website and they are shiner family. Cant imagine they taste good but they fight good on a lite action jig pole. Gave a good size one to esoxman that came on a T/U but he said it went belly up in his bucket not long after so dont know how long they would last with a hook thru their back

Might want to wait until June 16th! Even though you do release them. And yes I know that the season is C&R/no live bait until then.....

Nice smally adksguy!

How much snow did you guys get down there at canadarago did the wind mess up the ice?

BIGJim223 · « **Reply #438 on:** Feb 26, 2012, 08:07 AM »

All the snow blew away! Haven't been to the lake today, but all the snow is blown off of my property and pond. I have a small drift in the usual places. It was 11 degrees here this morning, so I am confident that the ice has "repaired" it's self. Breezy and cold (19*) at 9am.

At least 9in there yesterday 4 wheelers and a group of about 12 people came out after I got all set up and set up about 30 foot away so ice is pretty solid

If you always anticipate being checked out by DEC then its not a big deal when you actually do.

TheSystem · « **Reply #444 on:** Feb 26, 2012, 11:51 AM »

Budgets are tight, they're gonna ticket ya for whatever they can, keep your ducks in a row!

perchtrapper · « **Reply #445 on:** Feb 26, 2012, 12:37 PM »

Fished shallow out by island this am slow to say the least caught a few perch one 10-11". Had a t/u in 5 fow that was pretty active when I was checking depth with vex. at this hole saw a bunch of marks so I looked down in the hole there where a pile of em down there with a good number of good ones. Didnt jig today prob should have tried, Next time.
Got to see the ECO @ bakers when we got in, all good, sounds like I was lucky... or prepared. Dont give em a reason to keep lookin.

TheSystem · « **Reply #446 on:** Feb 26, 2012, 12:45 PM »

I have had better luck fishing shallow lately. These days I start out at 4' and move out as the day progresses, then back in as evening sets

perchtrapper · « **Reply #447 on:** Feb 26, 2012, 12:53 PM »

Yeah shallow has been the ticket lately for me with live bait, drop a jig thou and its a swarm of 2-5" stuff i mean just stackd up.

TheSystem · « **Reply #448 on:** Feb 26, 2012, 01:18 PM »

Don't be afraid to use them for bait!
