Title: Where would you fish?
Post by: lowaccord66 on Aug 22, 2019, 08:37 AM

Soliciting opinions on possible venues for Oct 12-14th.  Will be fishing with a buddy of mine.  We've fished Champlain a ton for pike and would usually head up there but its old hat at this point. 

We have gear for trolling and casting. 

Where would you go?

I'm biased towards my home lake of Cayuga. Trout, Bass, Pike, Panfish. Can troll or work shorelines casing. Lots of great little towns with restaurants and places to stay from hotels to camp grounds.

I would recommend either ontario for kings or chautauqua lake for fall eyes and muskies...  you could always hit Erie if weather allowed for eyes as well

Cranberry Lake has some monster pike and great smallmouth action. Although I don't think smallies are what you're looking for

Doesn't have to specifically be a pike trip.  I like the idea of chasing musky.  Large water is fine we just have had several years of catching tons of pike on champlain. 

Thinking St Lawrence, or maybe Oneida...

Chautaqua for musky/walleye, short haul to Erie if the weather allows.  Waneta Lake for musky, can jump over the hill to Keuka to fish lake trout.  Conesus Lake for pike and tiger musky, 45 minutes from Lake Ontario salmon.  October is beautiful thing around here.

Thanks for the input everyone.  Happy to hear any other suggestions.  I do like the idea of chasing musky one day and jigging lakers the next.

 If you would like to jig Lakers try Keuka lake

I like Massena. Kind of a long trek getting there but it's more intimate than the rest of the St. Larry and has all the species.

The Golden Crescent on Lake Ontario.  Bass, Pike, Walleye, trout, Salmon and panfish.  Also got a shot at a Musky.  What else could you ask for?

Have you ever fished Memphremagog (aka the gog) in northern Vermont
Good pike there
Note: depending how far north you go you will need a Canadian license

Good launch in Newport, nh

There is a concrete dock about 8 to 10 miles north and there is a blue light on the dock
. You have to stop there and use the canada notification phone. When they pick up your call, you will need to tell them your fishing, boat registration number and when your returning to USA waters.

Typical baits for bass, pike, trout. Large spinner baits work well on pike.
