Hey everyone wanted to try to repair our thread and make this one what everyone wants.
Was out yesterday a bit of a slow bite did manage a few. Nothing to big tho. Slush is 98% gone I’d say in the 3rd creek area.
Hope everyone stays safe and gets out and into em.
Tight lines
Perchin.

Great new thread thanks.

Fished out of 3rd creek yesterday. 31fow. Scratched out 60 keepers between 2 of us . 10 to 13 inches. Tons of dinks . Had to stay 3 to 4 feet off bottom to keep the smallest of them off the hook . 4 inches black ice 4 inches of white ice . I personaly burned through 4 doz fathead. Machines out . There was slush spots . Watched a 4 wheeler get bogged down to almost a stop. Great day to be on the ice .
-
Was out today the conditions have not changed much. Lots of dinks slush was a bit worse today.
On way out this am pitch dark to a spot I haven’t fished in 2 yrs I find this on the way

Lucky I guess to see it and not run over it.
Pick up after yourself guys. Respect what we have there

Was at Sodus today west of Newark Island about 30 feet. Tons of links...Damn never thought to fish up ..duh. Got a few enough for some fish patties..Was fun getting out though. A Bit of slush in spots ice in good shape and will get better with the temps going down.
-
I’m planning on a Sodus trip next week. First time on the bay. Any info on parking and local bait shop would be appreciated. Fishing with my son and best friend. Looking for a change in scenery from the Fulton chain. A good pub for lunch would be good too. Thanks in advance.

The parking is on you. There’s places at 3rd creek, margeretta rd launch, the bait shops, and the fireman’s launch. 3rd creek parking fills up fast. Fireman’s is normally next to fill up.
As for bait I would recommend Davenports on the east side of the bay, South end. The 2 bait shops are straight across the bridge from one another.
The drag will be snow dependent.
Good luck.

Perchin, Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Rad

Going to be heading up early tomorrow morning and was wondering if people have been seeing machines all over the bay and where the best place to launch a snowmobile would be?

Haven’t personally been all over but have seen many machines out. I would feel comfortable to go most everywhere. Depending on slush you may try and launch from the bait shops. Or fireman’s launch by connelys cove. I haven’t been by the Margaretta st launch so no sure about it. 3rd is good to go but time is a factor and parking can get very tricky

Is the Yacht Club parking lot open this year?

Everyone is complaining about small fish this year. Well what do you expect sodus has been fished hard very hard for the last 4 winters. Do the math 1000 guys 25 or more fish per person Saturday and Sunday. Plus all the guys fishing over 30 fow or deeper killing ever fish they catch popping there bladders. Sodus is a great fishery sorry but it needs a break
-
Thank you! Yea time is my problem right now.we’ll see how it goes in the a.m. I’m sure there will be close to a battalion of people out there
-
Thanks for the new thread Perchin and for all the info guys. Haven't made my annual Sodus trip yet this year but hopefully in the next few weeks... tight lines all

Not sure if this is the place to throw out a question but let's see where it goes. I fished Irond. bay yesterday but sounds like Sodus is similar. Lot of people catching a lot of fish but most are small. I caught probably 40 fish and kept four: 10, 9, and two 8 inchers. Enough for a decent meal. I love "poor man's shrimp" and for that the dinks would work equally well (though a bit more work) but would need to keep more, of course. What do you folks think would be best for the fishery: I keep 15 or so dinks (6 to 7 inchers) and throw back the bigger ones or keep a fewer bigger fish. Even the 8 inchers had eggs in them.

Caught this big beautiful mama on my first drop down last weekend. She was full of eggs and started spilling a couple when I got her up. Decided to let her go and make her babies, gotta keep the future bright.
I'm a size 12 boot btw for comparison

Zcasey, thanks for letting the big girl live on for us all... I would have had a hard time parting with her!!

Just for your IFY, Zcasey
I would think if you saw ,what you thought was egg in its mouth
I sooner thing it was air bladder showing in mouth
usually happens coming up from deep water
Correct me if I am mistaken

No sir she had eggs coming out the belly. Couldn't keep her with a good conscience, had to let her live.

Btw perch generally spawn between 44&54* so the temp says they have a while before spawn and if she was already spilling eggs she prolly be empty before it’s time.

She was only spilling eggs from the warmth of the shanty and stress of being out of the water. As I don't think he release her right away.

this isn't illegal if 100 foot from sure....it's not even bad these fish would have died in that water and decayed helping plant lfe which helps cause feed which helps grow big perch ..circle of life ......retured the nutriants to the water instead of the land fill is alll
-

After reading his comment again I believe it was pushing some out of the proper spot to lay eggs but most likely due to internal pressure being brought up. It's not egg laying time yet but they are getting big bellies. I'm betting Sodus is like Oneida with a late March early to mid April spawn. Finger Lakes can be much later into May even. Nice fish regardless, nice colors.

I believe it’s the change in pressure ,
And I would have tossed that perch back way back in the bucket , ,

Unless it changed it is illegal to clean and dismember fish sos to disguise the size and or quantity of ones catch.
And it was way more then a limit trap. And 100% I have no problem with the disposal but it was done blatant on the ice by 1 person. More then a 5gal pal of guts. Tell me he wasn’t over limit.
As well it is close to shore not sure if with in 100’.
-
Now on another note. Went out today found some slush and some more slush but made it around ok. Bite was ok. Had to keep switching back and forth between same two rigs. Brought home a good meal watch out by arneys it looks like the aerator is doing some damage. Careful.

Yes you can on your own property , but not into the garbage at the transfer stations

Mine get frozen and taken to the dump along with the other household trash. I’d rather toss them to the raccoons and foxes, but...... no way they’re going in my compost or gardens. Just an invite to scavengers. I any event, leaving them on the ice is unacceptable.

Fish Carcass Disposal Law
It is illegal to discard any fish carcass, or parts thereof, into the freshwaters of the state within 100 feet of shore or upon any public or private lands contiguous to and within 100 feet of such water................i t's the law, even when you disagree with it ......100 foot away your ok

ZCasey thank you for clearing it up
about where eggs were coming from
I stand corrected
-
@snow snake no worries! I'm not a fish biologist so I can only make assumptions based on what I'm seeing haha.
-
Went out today slush was there. Not as bad as I thought. Looks like maybe a bit more ice then last week the snow and slush are converting. Ride out went smooth ride in not as smooth started breaking thru the crust layer. Only about 2” between the layers not froze. Good luck out there

What are the ice conditions on the bay at third creek?

What are the ice conditions on the bay at third creek?
The same on the whole bay. 6-8 of black ice and 2-4 inches of white ice on top

We lost the much thru all of this? Was gone all week. Had 10” of black with a crunchy 3-5” of slush frozen and not. Thanks for report tho.

Hey guys, I usually come up once or twice a year and walk to deep water out of 3rd creek but this year my wife and kids are coming with me and we rented a cottage on the point near the loop thus weekend. I have never accessed the ice from the north end of the bay and this year I will have a snowmobile with me. Anyone have any info on the best place to get a machine on the ice without driving all the way down to 3rd creek? Thanks in advance!
-
Dearfishyfishy...i would use the village lot or Maiden know for sled access. I'm sure some others will chime in..havent fished Sodus much this yr..good luck and happy perchin..

you can access in a few spots up that way. Maiden ln is at beginning of loop or there is the grain bins. Depends on where your at I figure there is some access in there private if your cottage allows. Idk how the access is at the state launch off margarita rd haven’t been out in a week and it’s normally iffy.

Thanks a lots guys! I'll post what I find this weekend. Tight lines

We ended up going out of 3rd Creek yesterday and today. Couldn't find anyplace decent to get a sled on the ice from up on the point. Fished all afternoon Saturday in 25 fow and ended up with 11 keepers between the two of us. Went out again all day today in 35 fow and managed to keep 32 with a couple slabs in the mix. Caught close to 200 dinks and just couldn't keep them away. Ice is holding up well and we found 7 to 8 inches out in the middle of the bay. Thanks to the people who offered to tow us back to shore tonight if needed (we had some snowmobile trouble, but got it running). Had a great weekend. Hope to hit some open water before the perch head out to the lake. Tight lines

We fished deep water today and did well. Got an hour late start. Partner had 12 in the bucket when I got there. I caught him then caught 9 more keepers than yesterday him. Buck thanks again for a great day fishing 34 for me 25 for Buck. All quality fish we kept I had 3 12+ all the rest where 9-11 inches. Was a great day for me

Well I made 1 more trip had limited time wife has DR appt today. Short but fun trip fished from 7-1030 end up with 18 decent fish tight lines and stay top. Side getting scary and changing by the minute be safe.

Seen crazier things. But I don’t use weather bug, accu weather, weather channel or wunderground. Weather channel only as a bounce site.
Here’s accu weather 5* lower. Lol

I've noticed Accuweather runs 3-5° lower than most of the other weather sites for my area, too, and they're usually the least accurate in their extended forecasts.
WU and TWC are usually a lot closer for the 7-10 day outlook in my neck of the woods.
-
I prefer NOAA. They are the closest to my weather station in my yard. I have an Ambient Weather Station. Don't recall the model though.
I can view the station anywhere on a computer. It's 72 degrees and 54% RH in the house as I type.
-
Either way I’m starting to see a lot of skim ice on multiple bodies of water. Might have to get a few pics and post some teasers. Lol

I have seen skim ice all over the place one of my private ponds that I fish weeks before any lake are ready was completely froze a few weeks ago and is locked in now will still be open water again by end of the weekend..but good luck to ya I know you right and everyone is wrong but good luck to ya

Also I use WeatherBug regularly I work outside and always keep and eye on the weather and I find weatherbug to be the best but options are like well you know

After tomorrow's warmup its cold nights for the most part from then on. Come on ice. Can't wait to try my flip top shelter my brother gave me. Now that I am getting old and decrepit I'm breaking down and trying a shelter. I got a little frostbite on my fingertips on Sodus last year. My brother got tired of hearing me complain about my fingers freezing. So when he went to get us minnows to go perch fishing last April and they had all the ice fishing stuff half price, he picked up 2 Shappell 1 man flip shelters and gave me one. Just got done putting it together. Quite a challenge when the pictures on the instructions are so tiny. Fortunately I found better pics on their website that I was able to blow up big enough to see. Come on ice.
-
You will not regret having a portable shelter My fishing time trippled (or more) when I got mine. Find a little heater and enjoy! On cold days I put a can of gel fuel like the ones the restaurants use in a 2 gal bucket and throw off the coat. Cover it with some wire mesh and use it to warm your lunch
-
I got one of those little buddy propane heaters so I'm all set to start living high on the hog.

I just purchased a little buddy and used yesterday
Nice little heater

How did Sodus make out with this snow storm? I heard there was 3 - 4 inches ice before it hit.

That section is now mostly frozen but its tricky keeping your balance with all the old footsteps and tracks. I'm with you on slush that isn't froze yet though. Not as young as I used to be.

Whats the key to finding bigger fish out there? Last year while I was out I sorted thru tons of dinks for a handful of keepers. Deeperwater, bigger bait, keep moving? Any tips appreciated.
-
In my experience. Best I've done is use a bigger bait and don't drop it to the bottom. Try getting the bigger fish to come up a few feet. If still mostly dinks, move. Maybe not even that far. 50 yds and try again. Some days you'll get a few jumbos and need another small move to pick off the jumbos and keep moving. Every day is different.

Great question. I was wondering the same. Fished Saturday and caught some nice perch but so many small ones. My question is: are the perch ever off points or other shallow structure, or just in the deeper part of the bay?
Thanks for any info.

After hearing all the great reports from guys fishing this fall from boats, I really thought we would hear the same from reports on the ice. I've only been out once so far but still had to go through a lot of small ones to get some keepers. And that seems to be what others are finding so far as well.

Thanks Trapper2000.

How is the drag on sodus from the marina's at sand point? meeting my dad there tomorrow and debating between his flip over or my pop up.

Was way better than i would have guessed from reports, maybe it had enough time to freeze again, very shallow snow heading out from the marina's near the point. lots of frozen mess to drag over/around from sleds heading out through the slush earlier this week. Cold and windy though, did manage to bring home 9 decent ones, really only had a few small ones today.
-
Well. The fishing was a bit slow for me today. Quite a similar ice report give or take7”+/- soild with some crap on top. Plus the snow and slush. Looked like everyone else was targeted around the channel big group out of 3rd few hundred yards west from the north end of eagle island. And another group off the tip of loop.
Good luck if you try for it. Gonna b a little wet

Anyone been out since last week, how's the ice after the warm few days. Planning to drive up tomorrow.

I have an odd request…my new year’s resolution was to catch a fish every month of the year and February hasn’t been kind to me…I’m thinking of hitting Sodus Bay tomorrow AM and it’s been several years since I’ve been out there….what’s my best access spot to catch a single fish….even a dink is better than a 🦨 at this point…thanks in advance
-
Pretty much anywhere you can catch a dink. I would prolly try speigle or 3rd creek.

Anyone out by Davenports? I was looking to head out Monday for some pike I wasn’t sure if the ice or if the water was muddy. Thanks

BeenPerchin315…TY…not familiar with Spiegel…Google maps shows a road N of BBBait shop…is there parking there?
Stay away from Spiegel unless your there early now that someone opened their mouth and it's public knowledge that we can park there again. Very limited parking
-
Sorry wasn’t trying to cause an issue

No problem. If going to the Speigle/ grassy point area I normally come up from bait shops the hill sucks from over there. And not always the best ice at shore haven’t used it this year.
As always be careful and use your spud.
Tight lines
Perchin
Ps. Not sure about the parking out on the road. Last year was last I was there and about 9 when I arrived there were 2/3 spots open in the little lot. And I do mean little.
Good luck

Went out off the trestle area yesterday for a few hours mid morning. Mostly small ones and not very aggressive at all. Ice was great, lots of trails to follow through the snow, beautiful day to be out. Not many folks out that way.
