Panfish Time

[Pygmy]

Now is the time of year when you can catch as many bluegills/sunfish as you want to clean..As long as you don't exceed the 50 fish per day limit..

 

They are spawning now and fishing should be good for at least 2-3 more weeks.

 

Four of us fished last Friday at the Penn Yan end of Keuka Lake.. We fished 3 hours and ended up filleting 80 fish, which resulted in 8 pounds of succulent panfish filets. 

 

Look for the fish concentrated on spawning beds in shallow areas of you favorite lake, in 2 to 15 feet of water..  We use small jigheads tipped with wax worms, redworms, mealworms  or most any other type of grub, but small plastics or flies are effective also..

 

It's fun, easy fishing...A great time to take the kids along..

a little beer batter and 8 lbs aren't going to last very long.

[Pygmy]

Yeah  Larry..One  acquaintance who works for Corning Inc. and lives in Cohocton went up last week and got into the slab 'gills on Honeoye..  He is a master at panfish/walleyes and knows the lake like the back of his hand..

 Good luck, Dom...I'm VERY fond of bullheads...Haven't had any this year..Only enough last year for a couple of meals..

 

Some years I hit it right on Seneca Lake & tribs..Some years I don't...
