Flower City - Conesus Lake - 10/17

Ouch! With fish kills, cynobacteria blooms, and low water, we moved our final event from Sodus Bay to Conesus. Personally, I was fine with fishing Sodus. For the vote, I tossed Canadaigua as my nomination, but Conesus won out by a landslide. Too many guys' home lake.

I was looking forward to fishing this, and after seeing Noel Good's report, I was really excited. I did keep in the back of my mind that this lake will sometimes totally shut down. But that's a rare thing, fishing there is almost always great.

Well, it shut down big time, LOL.

I got four bites, one on a spinnerbait, three more on a jig. This resulted in one northern pike (spinnerbait) and one LMB. My partner Bill L. had about the same, boating one bass on a jig. Good enough for 4th, and a classic berth. Bill cinched up points for AOY. I ended the season in 2nd. Ridiculously tough day out there.

Here's the pics that tell the story:

Weigh bags, we don't need no stinkin' weigh in bags! Just bring you're one dink directly to the scale, LOL.

Final results:

Nguyen was all smiles, collecting cash for lunker and 1st place.
