Timmay, The pond is a great place for a newby. There are several places to park most notably the Wig-Wam (a restaurant) the Elms (a golf course and Green Point to mention a few, and depending on what type of fish you are looking for each has it's strengths and weaknesses. After you make three more posts sind me a private message (PM)
and I will give you some more information. Welcome to the site and to the pond ....Boggey
Thanks for the info!!!!!!!!!!

used to get walleye every time until a company called canadian killed most of them when they were spawning in the streams.

I know this a question you guys hear all the time but..... I'm getting vex or marc. Or hummingbird.  I've done some research but still up in the air.  What's the biggest differents.  And why one over the other. I spending a lot of $. And I'm only doing it one time.  I want one good choice.  I'm figuring $400 to $500 range.  Thanx
Ps. went to the pond Sunday.  Got about 40 good one with two guys.  Not to bad.

I have a marcum vx1pro and when I was asking around and doing research on them I found that it was the best bang for your buck. It also has ir to cancel out interference from the guy next to you and zoom which is clutch. My buddy has the more expensive one and I will tell you the lines are more exact but in my opinion it's not worth the extra $200. If you want to play with mine when I'm at the pond youre more then welcome to.

How far of a hard pull is it by hand to get out to decent fishing? Usually fish Sodus every weekend but I was thinking of giving Sandy a try? Thanks

if you want to spend that much you should look into the m68c from lowrance i used it now for 3 years no problems at all and battery lasts for 4 days plus you have a gps in the unit!!!














that will make a nice sangwich!!!!!

Fished GP today.  Ice is about 6 inches, saw one snowmobile out.  Pretty easy walking, patches of bare ice in between hard packed snow.  Bare ice is slick,  cleats would be helpful.  Usual mix of perch, sunnies, and gills.  Nothing outstanding and no crappies.

I will be heading out of the Elms around 7:00am tomorrow. If anyone wants to get together, I'll be driving a silver F 150, and fishing out of a clam Nanook.

Are the fish okay to eat out of Sandy Pond?  Charlotte is one of the most polluted spots on Lake Ontario.  Just something I have been wondering about, I may very well be wrong though.
This sport takes a certain amount of character in a man that we all should respect and take pride in.
