Good to hear.  I fished the other side of the lake saturday and there was 2" or less anywheres past 30 ft. from shore.  Maybe I'll have to his the west side.

Holy spotburn!  You're going to have company now.  You would do well to delete your post with all of the details (i.e. that you caught your limit and where you caught them), papacoondog.

You had better be willing to share that spot with a couple hundred guys next weekend, then.  I've seen it happen on Cando before.

That sir is what this forum is supposed to be about!! Canadarago is a big lake, lots of room, let 'em fish!

Its not like other people can't see fishermen out there while driving by on Rt. 28! I sent a guy over off the boat launch today around noon, hope he did well! I'm sure he didn't get in anybodies way out there! ::) ::) ::)

And once Cando becomes a zoo, the best fishing can shut down quick!  That used to be one of my favorite places to fish...

All you can see from Rt. 28 is people fishing.  You can't see people catching their limit...you usually see people here and there and you don't know how they are doing.  There are places where people have good success and places where they do not...but posting exactly where there is a prime spot for catching jack perch is not a good idea for a place like Cando.

sunday was definitely not very safe, although nearer to shore was doable.  I still do not recommend widespread travel on cando, if you do pay attention to the signs of weaker ice around spring, rockpiles, etc.  I'll be out there tomorrow and will provide a detailed report. 

as for the debate about the OP giving away too much info, I can see both sides.  On some weekends, especially those where other lakes are not available to fish, there can be well over a hundred guys on the west side of the lake.  If each of them takes home 50 of the lakes biggest perch, that will decimate the population of any lake.  How long does it take to grow a 12" perch?  More than a year or two I'd bet.  We should all remember to be responsible anglers as best as each sees fit, I'll leave it at that.
On the other hand, Kudos to you for encouraging and helping out your fellow anglers, that is what this site is all about.  You will all hear about my success or failure on wednesday!

Yes it would, but hopefully nobody is keeping over their limit, which is 25!

Wonder how many others "think" the limit is 50.

Well there you go!  I'm almost strictly C&R so I don't pay much attention to numbers.  I've been called arrogant when I say that "If I kept every fish I've caught (out of Cando) the lake would have been empty years ago!"  but joking aside, there's a good point to that.
