Sodus Bay BS Thread

[BeenPerchin315]

Headed out tomorrow to catch a mess of them mini stripers. Has anyone found a decent gill bite on the bay this year? No one I have talked to had more then 4/5 in a day. Don’t normally target them lil guys but I could go to put a bag or 2 in the freezer.

I would figure the south end near the bait shops would produce some. Or in front of Connelly's area. Let us know how the ice is, I will probably make the trip sunday for some gold! Or gills whichever floats my boat that day

back side of  leroy island

[BeenPerchin315]

Bait shops is off right now I was thinking Conley’s maybe pork barrel area. As for Leroy it’s been real tough this year with the extra channel up there and access is getting worse and worse up there. They even trying to block off the stairs as of last year. I think I’m gonna hit the perchin grounds deeper and then head for Conley’s to try some gills. Thanks all. As for ice conditions my report I was given today was 8” total 5-6” good ice slush layer then 1” or so of crap ice on top. Will let y’all know my actual findings tomorrow. As par for this year I can still say stay away from the west side of eagle island, has not been good all year another product of that extra channel.

I feel the need for perch this weekend lol I've been out on the ice 2 times this season and not once on sodus. So hopefully klino will point me to the promised Land 

Yeah should probably fish with his daughter, she catches em all 

Good luck with that he couldn't catch a fish at bass pros pond. LOL

Listen guys, the funniest part is y'all are just jealous that my 4yo daughter can catch bigguns that are bigger than what you can catch. She is an ice fishing maniac like her sisters are.

That said, I've been super busy at work and at home, not sure if I'm going to even be able to get out Saturday or Sunday... Then Monday it's back on the over time train.

It's ok buddy we know that she shows you the spots then makes you set up all the equipment so that she can fish lmfao

[alfed]

Klino your daughter may want to start a guide service, she has proven that she can beat the big boys and now has a fan club to boot! lol

She is a beast. She was pulling the shanty by herself with that snow/slush mix that was on the bay 2weekends ago. She got mad when I tried to help her.

Alfed- she has had a "following" since she was 2 when she started ice fishing. I even took her out for an afternoon gun hunt on one of the afternoons when it wasn't too cold for her.

She is in love with running 5k road races too. You should see some of the grown adults she cruises past in the race 🤪

On a side note, I could use her as a marketing tool for my guide business.....could you imagine this Moto:

"Catch'um with Klino" guide service.... Home of the 4 year old that out fishes her Daddy Everytime.



On A serious note... I really enjoy fishing with my daughters more than I like fishing by myself.... I get more excitement out of them catching fish, and being self sufficient, and getting better each time out.

[trapper2000]

klino i  tip my hat to ya ...your a great dad ^5

[/quote] nothing like taking a kid fishing and seeing their eyes light up when they are catching fish. At that point you planted a seed. In your case you got a monster now. Lol

That's right man, that's how it all started. We fished for less than 40 minutes that day, same songs together, and caught dink perch to get her feet wet. Took me 4 times longer to get her stuff packed and my ice stuff packed.... She was potty training at the time too which made it super challenging.... But now she loves it.

Yes, T as she is frequently referred to, is a monster. She helps with house projects, nails all of her memory verses at church each week, and loves to be outside. She is always full of energy, and loves to help out and be a part of everything that is going on. I don't care who catches all the fish, long as the freezer gets stocked 🤪🤪

Yea man I wont forget you had her potty seat in the sled that day lol

So we seemed to have missed most of the snow here in Irondequoit so far.  Hoping the same can be said for Sodus.  Temps are already dropping and hoping everything tightens up and maybe even adds to our good ice thickness.  Looking to get out again Saturday.

I did alright enough for a meal but got to move to find them

[alfed]

Yep, stay away from the shanty towns and keep moving until you land on them. Having said that the bite has been finicky and very light. Good luck

[Pequod1]

Same old areas too Tee bug.  Let me know how you do and how the drag is tomorrow.
Good luck

[CW88]

Well how was it today thinking about taking my 7 year old out for her first ice fishing trip tomorrow afternoon hoping the bites picked up.

[badbrad2186]

So I know nice fish are hard to  come by this year. I'm going to put it this way no all the bug fish haven't been caught. Yes 100+ guys out everyday has put a hurting on the population as to why it's not all slobs and we have to weed the dinks again. But remember those small fish we are throwing back is out future. Also with the ice coming on so late this year I personally think that has alot to do with the rough fishing

[CW88]

Yeah your probably right our "FIRST ICE" was really late and it probably doesnt help that it's been the best pike fishing in 20 years according to Davenport he said they are absolutly killing the pike this year.

[snow snake]

i agree that the pike fishing has been good this year
its been quite awhile ,in the past not too many were caught
i don't mind fishing for them, catch,filet,enjoy ! good eating tasty
people don't fish for them due to bones

Only reason I don’t fish for them is cuz of filleting them. They are tasty lil buggers.

[wnyicer]

Check out a few you tube tutorials on filleting Pike. They are not too bad once you get the hang of it and you get plenty of meat of them. And I'll second that they are tasty. Nice white flakey meat love em on the grill
