Yes, try the Chautauqua Lake Snowmobile Club's website. There was a nice webcam in back of the local snowmobile dealer right on the lake. This area is where many guys fish. Hope this cam is still working.
Last year we put in at Prendergast Point Launch area and ATV'd to the Bell Tower area where a lot of fellows were doing OK. We did OK also but on the way back we stopped and put in at several spots on the way. Every where we put in was OK and even better. It seems that wherever there was no one was nearby, the fishing was better since there was less fishing pressure and more fish available. So do not think putting in next to someone who is doing well is the best move. Instead of sharing the nearby fish, find your own honey hole.
So if I wanted to target musky, it would be smart to use catch some perch in the lake and use as bait?
Disregard...just saw that season ended on 11/30/11 for NY. May have to still come over for walleye and perch though.
Looking for a little help
does anyone know if its legal to use lead split shots anymore?I know they dont sell them in N.Y. but sometimes i like to put a split shot on when fishing deeper water and tackle box full of lead. just want to follow the rules. thanks
