What if one of us caught a bass on a TU that was obviousl going to die - bleeding, gut hooked, the works. We're supposed to just leave it to die under the ice??? BS

no, that is how laws work. What would keep someone from catching a huge out-of-season walleye, ripping their gills and saying, oh jeese, they were bleeding anyway. Look, just be glad DEC was out there, PERIOD. I wish they were there every single day, Otsego too. They've busted my stones more than a few times for trivial stuff, but I'm glad to see them. Every time I'm out fishing, I assume I am going to be checked by DEC.

BigRed, you're completely right in the big picture, we're way better off with them out there. and I agree, if they were they every day there would be a lot less fishing pressure and exceeded limits. I just encourage ECOs to know their fishermen and know who need their balls busted and who does the right thing, regardless of the letter of the law.

I think we need to have encon officers out there because there are violators out there but I am not one and I don't think I should not have to worry about getting the third degree from an eco everytime I go fishing . Last year I was ice fishing on cando and encon came to the shack . We did absolutely nothing wrong but he gave us a big attitude because I was from johnstown and my friend was from wells then he proceeded to search through our shack for illegal fish . Up into seargents pond for ice out last year ecos were hiding in the woods evesdropping on us trying to catch us talking about something illegal and they arrested a guy from another camp for talking about deer jacking . It never used to be like that and I feel it is getting to be borderline harrasment . I actually went to college to be an encon officer but once I got to see how sneeky and dishonest alot of them can be and how it was not uncommon for ecos to have people threaten them I decided on another carrer . So far every time I have been out this year I have been stopped and it is just getting old.

Is this a thread on fishing Canadarago lake or a bash the encon officers for doing their job. Enough people. Lets get back to ice fishing while we still can!

Fished hyder this am. picked up my t/u's and moved when two guys come out and set up between a buddy and I

not a big deal its not my lake but he and I were only 40 yds apart! This year is the most I have ever been setup on I dont get it. What happened to a little courtesy.
So I moved south 1/2 mileish (30+ fow) and caught a few had to move around some but end up with 14 good ones, after 1pm it picked up and if the showed on the vex. they bit. On my way back had to go all the way down to the island cuz the crack heaved back up where I crossed it this am, poked around it with my boot no place to cross it to the west till 3/4 the way back east. Then pull into BL and who was there

no trouble cuz he remembered me from yesterday.
System;Did ask him if he was gonna do anything bout the fish bein left on the ice on the south end, said he wrote some for that B4 down there. Maybe he will keep a closer eye on it

PerchTrapper - I've been set up on a lot this year too. I think its due to added pressure because of lack of ice on other lakes. It sucks. That pressure ridge in the middle is wicked ain't it! Saw a guy jump it on a sled at about 30, went right into the air, Cool but dumb! Also glad to see my problems are on ECO's mind, he's been called with the offender's name which was written down from his tip ups. ADKRoy is right, we all have our pros and cons of ECOs but this isn't the place for the discussion, and I'm more guilty than the rest of ya in that. I think it was discussed here because there's all the sudden a much higher ECO presence at Cando, again, due to lack of ice elsewhere. We'll let it go....

Hey Perchpopper, I know you're a geezer like myself and have spent a lifetime on the lake. If anyone knows where to catch jumbos , it's you. So, bro, where's the big ones biten'?

perchtrapper · « **Reply #490 on:** Feb 27, 2012, 08:07 PM »

I got a phone call from the guy you were with when you took the name down, at least its on his mind now maybe

I haven't been on the ice since saturday, but previous posts by kowboy and others indicate 8-10" of good ice still. Its been real cold s I'd say even shorelines are nice and hard still.

That's what I like to hear! I've been feeling sick lately, I'll be due for a sick day right around that time.....

Anybody been out lately? Wondering how much snow Cando got the past few days?? Good seeing you again there Pot-Belly-Perch

Rob Hyer · « **Reply #502 on:** Mar 01, 2012, 02:55 PM »

Did anyone go out today? Im thinkin about goin tomorrow night if the ice is in good shape.

TheSystem · « **Reply #503 on:** Mar 01, 2012, 03:46 PM »

Didn't make it out today, but the area got 6-8" of heavy wet snow. I will be out to check it out tomorrow after work.

northernmaddness · « **Reply #504 on:** Mar 01, 2012, 05:15 PM »

i would like to try it 2maro morning so if anyone went out today i would appreciate some info on the conditions

TheSystem · « **Reply #505 on:** Mar 01, 2012, 05:21 PM »

I can't imagine this little bit of weather would hurt the ice any, there's 8"+ out there. It may be slushy and tough pulling a sled, but I wouldn't cancel any plans over it

perchtrapper · « **Reply #506 on:** Mar 01, 2012, 05:26 PM »

5 to 6" heavy wet snow slush layer not real bad, ice holdin... bring a machine, this stuff will wear you out not used to pullin a sled in the snow been spoilied this year

northernmaddness · « **Reply #507 on:** Mar 01, 2012, 05:27 PM »

thanks for the input. havnt been up in couple weeks. so was just lookin for some first hand input on the conditions. i guess its a go

perchtrapper · « **Reply #508 on:** Mar 01, 2012, 05:33 PM »
