Brutal wind on Cando today. Fished with a local Murderer's row of excellent fishermen and had little to show for it due to steady 10-15mph winds with gusts of 25. Wind actually took my Shappell four man shanty with two guys and gear in it for a ride down the lake - with lines and cameras in the water and everything. Local Legend Flanny lost a BIG walleye at the hole, my dad got one 11" fattie and two dozen midsize perch, and the rest of us got dinks and windchill. Still better than sittin on the couch! There were a dozen cars at Bakers Beach, 4-5 shanties each on the north and south ends, anyone else have a report?

5-6" of good ice on east side of the lake, although there are creeks and springs, and not sure about the ice in the middle of the lake.

Was on Candro yesterday and had fun with the perch. The ice was 6 inches but the wind was brutal. As you can see by the look on his face my son had a blast. Anyone gettin any Eyes though? Hoping to fish again this weekend

privateeyes · « **Reply #106 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 12:53 PM »

Pardon me fellas, anyone have any ( Canadarago) fishing reports , ice conditions and perhaps a few pictures

tia

perchfilet · « **Reply #107 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 12:58 PM »

Was on Canadarago today. Probably 5 inches of ice, but open areas on the boat launch ramp. Caught plenty of perch, but almost all "dinks".

Z · « **Reply #108 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 02:32 PM »

We were out there too. Looked awfully bleak when we got there at daybreak, nobody else around and no tracks on the ice. Boatlaunch looked pretty bad with broken up ice in the launch...decided to drill a few holes to see how the ice was. 5in. of good ice evrywhere we tried. Caught fish in every hole we drilled, unfortunately there wasn't a keeper anywhere. Fished from 10ft to 41ft with exactly the same results.......dinks.

privateeyes · « **Reply #109 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 02:45 PM »

I been there a few seasons ago with my fishing buddy and we did that too for two day weekend.Still too many dinks and i can't see the walleye is any better too. thanks for the report and remember to be careful on that ice

TheSystem · « **Reply #110 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 03:26 PM »

Monday was tough on Cando due to that wind, I'll keep everyone updated on the ice after this little batch of rain we're getting.

ItsInTheHole · « **Reply #111 on:** Jan 17, 2012, 08:12 PM »

The next few days look OK for firming it up. Hopefully the rain knocked down the snow and not much else.

champ1970 · « **Reply #112 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 09:01 AM »

If anyone goes out on Candro can you give us an update on the ice??? Im wondering if all the rain had any impact on it... It was about 6 inches on Monday.. Thanks

bahfishing · « **Reply #113 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 03:33 PM »

Hey guys! Can anyone recommend a bait shop in the area? Thanks! GG

o2rmk800 · « **Reply #115 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 03:50 PM »

brad's in schyler lake

bahfishing · « **Reply #116 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 04:15 PM »

gas station on corner of rt 20 and rt 80 used to sell bait and tackle

TheSystem · « **Reply #117 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 04:47 PM »

My side (east) of Cando has 4" of good ice still with 2" slush on top. Still very fishable to me.

Baitshops: 4Sesons bait is my recommendation, its run by an old time lake fisherman, Joe, who is THE MOST up to date source for local lake info. On the west side of the lake, across from the boat launch to either the north or south, you will see signs for 4S bait and tackle, just up the hill. He sells shiners, toughies/fatheads, spikes, mousies, and full range of tackle.

Past Richfield on 20E is Tom&Kellys Gas station which has an extensive live bait system using local creek water int heir basement, which produces very lively minnows. they also have spikes and worms.

Brads in Schuyler lake has bait but their supply is much more "hit or miss" in my experience.
