How's the water clarity? Irondequoit is stained pretty bad...
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'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.
Unfortunately for me I don’t have time or the spare loose extra 5k a year for a boat so we need ice. And yes it’s an easy 5k a yr to own and use a boat
my boat motor and trailer was 600 bucks a 67 starcraft 14 foot row boat with a old 7 1/2 evenrude you don't need to spend a lot to get out there
brad gets ya out their.....
The case for most people.is the have company. I fished the same spot everyday I was out last winter and only once was there guys anywhere near us and that was the last weekend I fished when guys got close to us.
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
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??
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!
darn you caught me .....I hoped to send the masses to sodus while the rest of us hit our secret spot ......you know what i'm saying
Don't tell anyone, but sodus is my secret spot. No one ever goes there.
Hey chief , how’s the sprout and the misses doing , I say just go fishing and take pics without back ground and post , Think I’ll follow you and jake around this winter , 👍
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!
