I have been fishing this fishery for 25 years. I take what my family and my parents will eat. I have not seen a decline in numbers or size over the years. The only time this lake gets fishing pressure for the perch is spring and ice season. Lots of people that fish this lake do not have a clue as to how the lake works. It has changed over the years due to alewives. There are areas on this lake in the spring that you can catch nothing but 3"-5" perch, they reproduce well.JAZII
I just noticed that the mormyska that you have on your rod is my favorite one (even though I have tonnes of them including custom made tungsten from Russia).It works the best on perch and a lot of other fish. I've got 7 lb Brown trout on it.
Best mess Iv seen...... congrats

Here is a sample of some of what Seneca Lake offers. These photos are from Roy's Marina website in Geneva NY. http://www.roysmarina.net/photo.htmThis lake along with just about any other of the finger lakes in NY can produce fish like this and yes, better than 16" on occasion. Add Lake Erie and the bays of Lake Ontario and I think you would be hard pressed to find another state with the amount of jumbo producing waters that NY has.
