Good luck!

Tom!

    When you fish those luck craft pointer's in Sciver are you running those parallel along the banks on wind blown banks? I have done really well with those in the spring in Manor, however I have little to no luck on those in Sciver.  I have little confidence with jerkbaits in Sciver due to the rapid drop along the shorelines, I am heading out this weekend for a few hours. on Saturday and maybe the afternoon on Sunday with the wife. if you guys see a Red Tracker and a bearded american male with a bandana come over and say Hi! haha. Also has anyone had the testicular fortitude to toss the 10XD by strike king yet? I purchased a few from Bass Pro, now I just need a rod that can cast a 2.4 oz lure haha. Tight Lines Guys!

Glad to hear that the bass are in s Sciver. I've only been lucky in Morrisville lake.

Any color lure that works better than others?

I'll be on sciver tomorow. Tracker 165 here. 

Ill be pn sciver too. Red stratos 275xl.

A little windy out there today...

I was out today. Before the wind got a few pickerel and some dinks. Best fish went for around 3 pounds on a white chatterbait. I have a tournament on the flats in the wind tomorrow. Should be interesting.

Got out this Saturday and Sunday, fished from 1600 to 1800 Saturday and found a nice school of walleye's, landed one that was over 8pd's. Today I was out from 0800 till 1500. Landed two over 4pd's and a couple dinks. The numbers are down from years past, but the quality of the fish are excellent

I was out on Saturday and got 3 nice ones on a spook. I got 6 dinks on a creature bait. I was out early today and only managed 2 dinks before I gave up due to the wind. Nice work finding them in the wind. I do well on The pointer "sexy Chartruse shad" on Van Sciver running the banks. I really had to learn to slow it down and fish it on a slack line. Less is more in cold water.

Well not much to report about fishing tioga, hammond, or cowqueski lakes upstate.

sat we fished tioga lake and caught 3 lm bass windy, cold air temp 35/mid 40s, water temp 57.

sunday we fished hammond lake put boat in around 9am cold 32/mid 40s, windy and flurries, water temp 56, skunked.

monday fished cowqueski lake put in light rain cold 33/mid 40s, slight wind, water temp 55, fished halfday skunked.

we think the cold front set them down, will try again in the spring.

Rough fishin!

Anyone been on the water this week yet?  How are the lakes/ the bite looking? 

I was out on Manor this morning.  I didnt realize it but today they had their duck season restrictions on the lake, so the areas to fish were limited.  I fished in the main channel mostly.  I hit the docks and lily pads with jigs, square bills and chatter baits.  Did really well with the chatterbait.  It was my first time fishing one, so that built my confidence in the lure a little bit.  Got a few small bass, pickerel, and a nice 3.5lber.  The bite stopped around 11.  The water was about 60 and the bait fish were schooling all over.  I'm hoping to head out tomorrow afternoon for a bit, but I'll how I feel tomorrow about fighting the 20-30 mph winds.

Anyone know how to get a visitors pass for Monday when the office is closed?

Anyone know how to get a visitors pass for Monday when the office is closed?

There is a mail slot next to the garage door at the office. Put the guest fee in an envelope with your name and member number. I think the fee is $7.50

Thanks for the info. We pulled up and a guard was there. He filled out a pass and now I just need to put the $$ in the door slot within a week or they will mail me a bill with interest. Ha ha!

Was on Sciver from 11am till 4:30pm. Landed 4 perch and a 18 inch pike. Found 4 carp floating belly up. The water is still like pea soup. Does anyone know if this type algee is healthy for the fish? I'm pretty sure some types of algee can cause problems.

 I think the algae kicked up from the wind we had over the weekend.  I could be totally wrong.  I saw 2-3 carp dead in the water on Sunday too.  Not too sure what is going on there.

Hey everyone! I just spoke to the club house and they were not aware of the numbers of fish that were seen dead.

Please let them know if you spot dead fish and what area they were spotted in. The problem could be caused from the algee.

Were out on manor 1100 to about 400pm

water 56/59

fished dropoffs mostly ,we ended up with 4 bass 2 pike, and my friend Al was fishing white chatterbait the two he caught both weighed 4.5lbs each, weighed

Wow! That temp dropped!  I couldnt get out this weekend unfortunately.  Where you fishing jigs or cranks?

Fishing xd50 chrome with black back rattletrap reeling in about half speed.

Guys, I was on Van Sciver today a got 4 bass. All on a slow rolled spinnerbait. They would not hit anything else. Tried jerks, jigs, blades and cranks. Could have sunk the boat with perch on the blade bait. The carp kill was smelly in spots also. Good luck

Glad to hear someone's catching them. I hope that the carp kill doesn't affect the other fish.
