Tried yesterday afternoon at both Long and Cranberry ponds.  Not a bite in either for an hour each.  Did OK last week in both.

Gotagetm, I assume you are fishing from shore with live bait at Seneca for the pike?
Have you tried any lures?

Thanks for the info gotagetm, it's hard to beat live bait especially this time of year.

Were you fishing in the marina or the channel by the boat ramp? I often fash that back channel after ice out for panfish but haven't been there yet
take a kid hunting and fishing, it's a lot better than leaving them on the streets!!

Are the ponds ice free enough for me to take my kayak out this coming weekend?

There is always the chance for skim ice to form ................ if it gets cold enough with light winds ! It's kind of hit or miss this time of year !
