New guy to IS. Was wondering if there is any lakes in the central NY, Finger Lakes Region area where there is ICE!? And decent perch! at least 9"er's. All my good perch spots are open! DESPERATE!!!! HELP!!!!!!! ???Bart
where do u live
auburn thats crow country, been meening to get there some time n thin um outGood one!
Check out Delta lake if you can. I target jigging up the dinks for pike bait but I set a couple tip ups for eyes with shinners also and always get a half dozen perch or so in the 9-12 range sometimes 13 or 14 inches, there is good safe ice on delta right now and the fishing hasn't been stellar but it has been decent yesterday I swung 2 northerns 28" and 33" and 12 perch 4 of which were bigger than 10 inches and acouple a hair smaller no eyes though.
There is some ice on SODUS fished her today did pretty good with lots of 10 + perch there are lots of things you need to know if you want to catch the big boys other wise you will catch dinks all day
Don't know of the ice conditions, but Seneca is one of the best for perch (from what I hear), as is Otisco.Al
I have heard of Delta I've wanted to try out there! It's a drive though about hour and half for me. I think I'll try it this week. do you have a good place to start from? access? parking? etc. I'll try any lake once! thanks!
You can access the lake through the state park from the beach parking area,the fishing is is allright out in front of the beach mainly arround the areas where you see the bouys sticking through the ice , they are a good marker to find the drop off. I usually have my best luck though 500 or so yards off to the right of the beach in 15 FOW kinda head towards the shanties out that way the water depth ranges from 10 to 25 feet I prefer the shallower but I am usualy after pike, The perch seem to be all over out there.
Thanks deadsmelthead, I might go there Thursday or this weekend to try it! its a drive for me but its cool to try a different lake. I'll let you Know how I did, if I go? Bart
