Hi everyone. I've been off this site for 2 years because I couldn't remember my password lol! I did the password change and never got an email back so on a whim I tried one of my million passwords and it worked. Anyway. I was introduced to ice fishing years ago at silver lake and over the past 4, I was able to get my own gear and get back into it. I'd like to fill a bucket with bluegill. If anyone would like to join me and possibly point me in the right direction again I would be very happy. When I go, it's usually on saturday from dark to dark. It takes me an hour and 20 to get there. Not opposed to pike either...

From what ive heard from a friend who fishes it the bluegill fishing isnt nearly what it used to be. I wish you good luck though and stay safe

Go to north end or the south end and you'll get what you want

Its not a big lake. Access is easier at the south end. Keep moving until you find a clear spot in the middle of the weeds. It will be a travel corridor, so to speak. Close the shanty up tight and sight fish all the bluegills you care to catch. Just remember to keep what you eat, and throw some back to grow up.

Did the wind break up the ice

Go to WeatherBug and put in Perry NY. You can get a shot of the lake. I think it's the north end. But its locked up. Saw a guy fishing out there today on the camera.

Camera is right next to the state launch. off silver lake marina. Going down Saturday! To bad my new auger and replacement tent for my hut won't be in for a week!

Gowandafisher · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 12:33 PM »

That's awesome! Good luck! I may be there Sunday or Monday depending on reports!

Gowandafisher · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 12:35 PM »

Could you tell me the best way to park and walk out? I'd be coming to silver lake from springville

Zern · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 12:50 PM »

any reports on how much snow fell?

mcperch · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 02:08 PM »

Easiest way to get on lake south end state launch

Gowandafisher · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 02:21 PM »

so the camera from weatherbug on silver lake is at the south end boat launch looking north?

luv2fish2 · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 02:50 PM »

state park usually plowed good access , or mack's across the lake, either east or west lake rd you'll find one or the other on each

Saw the shanty my buddy and I got ready and went out. Only to turn around again. Had a long rope trekked out about 60 yard from public beach. Would have fished on a bucket with one person but wasn't safe for two people in a shanty. Ice was 3 or 4 inches of crappy white. Some spots had another 3 inches crap on top which my buddy fell through. Was kinda funny but not safe for more than one light person. Very little snow on top I'd wait another day at least. This weekend would probably be fine.

There were huts out there on the silver lake cam. Not sure exactly where it points.

JPG · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 14, 2016, 04:59 PM »

I have a bad feeling it's not gonna be till next weekend for me. Just doesn't seem safe.

TNT5859 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 14, 2016, 05:22 PM »

trebblehook · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 14, 2016, 06:01 PM »

hmmm...no reports on fish yet. Didn't fish the lake last year, but heard it wasn't a good year for numbers of fish. Maybe it will pick up this year

Well....you guys think tomorrow with the rain will screw it up for this weekend?

pikemaster0607 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 14, 2016, 06:36 PM »

Depends on how much rain and how much snow is on the ice

buschland42 · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 07:18 AM »

I would wait another week to unsafe yet, not worthy of getting wet . The rain and warm temps today will make it to unsafe for this 200lbs man. Too soon....

Riddlefiddle · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 09:46 AM »

I was fishing in front of Max's last Friday. Three inches of ice. The warm weather screwed that up bad. 45° right now. Probably have to wait and check ice on Wednesday.
