Swarrin4: Where else are you fishing? I'm trying to find new spots, especially near lancaster NY

Hunting for waters on Google earth and I came across some huge ponds on a unmarked road off of bergtold Clarence NY. Has anyone been there? How can I find out if I can fish there?

I'm not sure if it's a police range... I heard shooting before around there but these got to be high powered rifles..

The only little bass lake I know of.where I can launch my inflatable raft just turned out to be dangerous I was in the middle of the lake and started to hear gun shots of.high powered rifles, next thing you know a bullet hit the water 10 feet away from me, plus I had my 7 yr old son with me. I heard there is a shooting range for the cops near there but I don't understand.... thank god we didn't get hit...now I need to look elsewhere for something close with bass and where I can launch, never going to billo again...

I went there yesterday for about 3 hours, I didn't get a single bite. The water looks deep and promising, i'm surprised I got nothing. Is this place over fished or would boat fishing be ideal?

How's the fishing at that pond? Bass? Pike? What size thanks for the suggestion

That's good, I have an inflatable with a electric motor. I don't really want to hook huge pike lol. How's the bass fishing? How.big?

Yea another fishing spot post.. I just read up on this place and saw a pic of a 16lb pike caught out of here and read it has some good bass. Anyone fish these waters? If so let me know how it is! Thanks

Replying to old thread, i still haven't caught any bass there, its a old landfill near shisler road , u need to walk down a path and its to the right.. if there was bass they would be monsters. I caught perch that felt like bass. All the time I real in a spinner I see a lot of perch chase it.. don't think there's bass but I don't know why, the place is huge and water is deep

Yea I went today, boat handled it pretty good, didn't catch anything though...next destination might be the Albion quarry

So you think the boat waves will be too much? I don't think u.can launch a motor over 10 HP there

Why would it be a bit much? Just wondering. I have a trolling motor too, 12' seahawk 4 raft thanks

Anyone fish this lake? Thinking off taking an inflatable boat tomorrow for some large mouth thx

Might check.this place out.tomorrow. pretty far ride from Lancaster but it sounds like it.might be worth it. Questions,would I have to.carry the boat far to launch it? Is it very weedy or shallow? Thanks

I bought an inflatable boat, customized it with wood floor etc.. Is there a spot where I can launch the inflatable at the pond in Albion? What other spots would be good with an inflatable?

Pond is about 250x200 in yards

Water was pretty clear, about 72 and sun/cloud mixed, barely any wind. 2nd time there the first time no luck at all.

Only 2 bass! They were also tiny! I've been searching for new waters all week and found a new small pond (200 yards or so), I see tons of TINY lmb around the shore. Should I try it again or move on? Not sure if any big boys are in there. I used all sorts of spinners, flukes, and top water poppers. Saw no fish jump.

Hey guys, Looking for some good ponds or quarries in WNY to catch some big largemouths. Im from Lancaster and had some success at Billo. Please help a fellow angler out! Want to catch some Monsters!!

Update: UGHH still no bass at the new quarry I found!! I'm not giving up though. The weather has been 60-65 degrees this week so I decided to give it a shot again today. It's been pretty windy so I don't know if thats affecting the fishing, but, I did not see one bass jump as of yet there. I don't see any live minnows swimming around. The only thing I caught there so far was perch. Should I keep on throwing out the tacke box or give up there?? I just can't believe there is only perch in this big quarry. Is it possible there can only be perch and that's it?? I'm not a rookie when it comes to bass fishing, but trying to figure out a new spot is different to me. This place is very close and nobody is ever there. Any tips??

It's in Clarence NY. I just found the quarry by using google maps. I'm hoping there is bass in there, I'm not too sure on how deep the water is though, it's a pretty good quarry though. After not catching any bass on lures/jigs/spinners we just used worms and nailed perch. Is it possible that some quarries won't have bass?

I recently discovered a sand quarry near my house and the water looks excellent.. I live in Western NY so we haven't had many warm days yet. It's been around 45-50 degrees but today was around 60 so I decided to check it out and see if I can pull in some bass. I threw out my tackle box, jigs,lures,top waters and caught nothing. We did pull in some huge perch with worms (couldn't believe the size) and the water is still pretty cold.. My question is: Is it possible that the water is still too cold for the bass to bite? Is there usually other species of fish in Quarries other than Perch?? I haven't seen anything jump, I was there for 3 hours. The water is pretty deep, can be over 20-30 feet deep further out. I fish quarries a lot but I just don't have much knowledge of them. Any comments will be helpful! Thanks
