Title: Shore fishin on north end of Seneca
Post by: scottcny on Mar 12, 2004, 11:08 AM
I drive alot for work and always have a rod in the truck, is there any type of pier or shore fishing areas on the northend of Seneca that I could hit when I pass through during the week?

I think Samson State Park and the public launch that is off Rt's 5&20. I really have no idea how good the fishing is there.

Scott, The entire North East corner of Seneca lake is a park....Seneca Lake State Park.

There are docks to fish from but only in the back waters fed by the Seneca River.

The Marina at Sampson State park is on the East side about 15 miles down the lake. There is a break wall to open water and marina.

Both parks can be fished till the resident boats start moving in for the summer.

I was there last week end.  I caught a 30" brown and 2 pike just over 30".  Nice fish but pretty slow.

 Very spotty Pete,
A west wind is good  as it stirs up the gin clear water...still hit and miss.

When I was there last weekend I was targeting perch and did not catch a one.
