is there a number you can call to check ice conditions on quaker?You can try the Quaker Run Cabin Rental Office. They probably will not be able to tell you ice thickness, but they'll certainly inform you whether folks are ice fishing or not. The phone number I have is (716) 354-9121 but I cannot remember if this is Quaker Run Area or Red House Area.
buck I'm out for Saturday and Friday is looking too windy for me but Sunday morning or Monday anytime is good for me..I use them for pike open water and they work good.I don't see why they wouldn't work through the ice.
Dad's out catching suckers right now.
anybody know if Horndaisse (sp) work?

Doc maybe you have better luck than I have in the past or they have new personel.Yeah, its hit and miss with Park personnel. Most times I can get at least an idea of whether its worth the drive. But, yes, the ASP personnel really do not keep up with that info. Park Police may be better to answer the questions, but they are located in Red House area and may not want to talk to folks about that. But they do talk to me. Perks of being an Outdoor Writer, I guess, for whatever its worth:)
Most times they don't have a clue except that someone saw a fishermen on the ice sometime recentle.
They is also a state troopers, parks police phone number out there i have it at home will try for tom to post it.
Anyone know of any bait sources down there... I called one place but all they have is 3-4 inch emeralds (which just might have to do)!
Im also looking for easiest directions from Batavia to there.... I guess the easiest way is the thruway over to 219south, then down to 86west... any other opinions?
Its definitely going to be saturday for us, weather and ice conditions permitting, as DAYTONA is sunday and I dont have sattelite hook ups for the ice hut! :'(

This weather has been horrible. I'm going fishing on quaker even if I have to use a piece of plywood and a raft.Jumper,
In case anyone is interested, Salamanca will experience some warmth tomorrow, with some rain as well. Friday will start warm, and drop to near single-digits as the day turns to night. Sat and Sun highs are predicted in the very low 20's, with nighttime lows between 10 and 15(fri and sat).
So, based on weatherman accuracy, we have a decent chance at cold weather this weekend. Sunday may be the better ice condition day of the two.
we might be fishing Monday or Sunday or Saturday.. all depends on the weather.
ANYONE FISHING MONDAY??
assuming my lake will be frozen safe again i plan on fishing at least 3-4 days this week...we'll see how the wife feels about that though :o
the best bet would be 219 into sallysmonkey{salamanca} get on 86 and get off at the quaker exit. as for bait. there is a bait shop in salamanca but do not know his hours. he has the best pike bait in the area along with gear for them. if i can get his number i will make sure you get it and you can give him a call to find out what his hours are. or just take 98 all the way down til you hit the 219 in salamanca. hope that helps oak.
OAK? FOR SURE GO THIS WAY!!! run 77 to 98 + 98 ENDS down below ELLICOTTVILE in great valley you will be right in front of 219 SOUTH AT 98's end... take 219S to salamanca ..it turns again RIGHT down in salamanca... there is a UNI-MART on corner, then go over RIVER and jump on 86 (old 17) which runs ya around the park to the quaker exit..YOU WILL SEE THE SIGNS FOR 86 WEST right after you cross the allegeny river which runs ya around the PARK and get off at the QUAKER EXIT here u wilL be i think less than 2 miles from spillway entrance....I PM/ed ya call meThanks for the alternative directions... I got your PM and I will call you this afternoon!
thanks for informing all of us that live around here about our temps, you should take all the stuff off the bottom of your signature and put CAPTAIN OBVIOUS :tipup:;D

So Oak,
There aren't any with any size to them in Quaker then? :woot: LOL. Dave
Hey Oak,Quaker Lake has some limited numbers of excellent sized crappie, a boatload of bullgills and some decent perch.
What about panfish? anything decent.
So Oak,
There aren't any with any size to them in Quaker then? :woot: LOL. We camp there a couple times every summer and I never take the canoe. That will change. But like I said it's hard to set up for trout in a lake that has good pike in it.
Thanks for the link.
Dave
Dave,Bobman, where are the trout in this place? in deeper or shallower?
The day those pics were from I had 4 tip-up out. Two were rigged for trout and two for pike so I was covering all the bases. I also had two jigging poles which I only caught pike on. Best bet is to try to catch everything in one trip ;D! Actually the difference in distance from where the trout were caught to where the pike were caught is 50 yards so you really can fish for everything in one trip.
Bobman, where are the trout in this place? in deeper or shallower?deeper water gairz. the pike seem to be in the shallow water there. at least that is the way it has been when i have gone there. need to suspend bait about 3 to 4 ft from bottom.{for trout}
I'm a big fat man with a lot of gear you know you are fat if the back of your neck looks like a package of hot dogs nothing personal :sick: :roflmao:What are you doing looking at my backside? :roflmao:
Bobman, where are the trout in this place? in deeper or shallower?
Bobman,
What do you use for bait for the Trout?
hooked, thanks for the heads up.
is there going to be ice on quaker this weekend?
me and some buddies are going, already have a cabin at the state park so we'll either be fishing or drinking.
already found the weak spots last week
Gair,Thanks marcus, so I take it that it wasn't shore ice that was the problem.. hmmmmm.. well, hopefully tonights temps will give it some extra ice for the boys tomorrow..
I am not very familiar with the lake but i will do my best...I went pat the gate and paid my 6 bucks i then drove straight to the clearing on the left lots of people parked there. We had to walk down a good sized hill at the bottom there was a tree we went to the right maybe 100 yards and out maybe 200 yards where the depth goes 12 to 15 fow. there was good ice 10 feet away at a tip up my friend who weighs at least 100 pounds more than me had just run over to and landed a fish. When I went to investigate this fish plop through i went not too bad popped right out. Sorry if that doesnt help. Other spot was to the right of this area even more I just wsnt checking and someone told me after that this area was open a few days before.
We broke yogi, he's going, haha. now the fishing is on.
the wind speed and temp at allegheny limestone 8 above and NW 8-11MPH live
Tim- Are you still going tomorrow as well?
mike, im going out tomorrow, you thinking of swinging down?
bob, be careful with the wind speeds you get from allegany-limestone, the school is in a valley that is basically a 8 mile long funnel of fields, i would check salamanca or randolph wind speeds, dont go by allegany, plus the school is a long way from allegany state park, 30+ miles
mike, im going out tomorrow, you thinking of swinging down?
YA I JUST SWITCHED THE WEATHER BUG TO SALAMANCE even worse!! lol btwn 9 -16 mph what weather station u use? weather bug?
I'm making the trip tomorrow morning, though I would like a decent report. Has anyone heard from the synegery party that's staying at the cabin? Arch are you still heading down tonight? If nothings posted yet can you give us a report when you arrive?
Will be there as early as I can make, it's a 2 hour drive for us. There will be 2 of us, in a 2 man clam, I wil lbe wearing all black.

Did any body out there ever find out where the bait shop in Salimanca is or if they have pike bait.
Archbishop,
Save some of those frosties for tomarrow. :roflmao: We should sacrifice a few to appease the ice gods.
:bow: :bow: :bow: :blink: :bow: :bow: :bow:

The area you are talking about "the trees" is that in the park?
