Cuba lake

[pikeHunter10]

Has anyone been down to Cuba this past weekend? I'm contemplating heading down this weekend probably Sunday, was wondering if the pike, crappie, and walleye bite is/has turned on yet. Also I'm heading in from springville and was wondering if there were any bait shops on the way down, I know there's buckwheat's on rt. 16 in arcade but that's kinda going up and around for me. Thanks

I dont low of any bait shops in Springville that have live bait. Might wanna call Marks Country Store and ask them. Cant help you with Cuba I have been stuck in school for the last 3 weeks…..Putting a damper on my ice fishing

If you are coming down rt. 16 there is a shop just south of Franklinville, Ischua bait.  Not sure what they have in the winter.  I would call first.

I heard slow bite on Cuba but worth a try in my eyes.  As for bait Buckwheats is going to be the best, only open till five during the week and Saturday, closed Sunday so you may want to make a run up there before if you go Sunday.

Thanks guys, be the first I've been out all year. Guess that's what happens when life gets in the way. I just really want to get out an shake the dust off, I'm heading up to Oneida on the 7th. The way things are looking this weekend tho I might be going Saturday instead.

Bite has been very slow, first ice gave up some nice fish but it has tired out since .      There is a bait shop at Cuba lake, Bodees Baits
 he has a bit of everything his # is 585-968-6465 Johns a good guy give him a call.  Its a house up Mt. Monroe rd. right along the lake.

I head through West valley and go up over Felton hill and head straight into FranklinVille, cuts down on the drive time. But I'm glad we do have a bait shop relatively close, I was just wondering if there was any thing down by the lake.

  Haven't seen too many out fishing. I guess too cold as been below zero last few days.  Ice gotta be good and thick.  Thanks Wizard!!

Went out this afternoon with the east wind howling. Though not big, my son loves catching walleye.



Even my son couldn't stretch this fish legal

Tourney is March 8th. I was thinking about coming out there on Sunday. How has this rain and warm up been to the shore by the Dam?  Anyone else gonna fish Cuba Sunday? Some of us were suppose to leave for Oneida early Sat. morning but with the winds and slop out that way we bailed out on that idea.
