JALA RUT Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 For members in western NY, a couple buddies and I were looking to try fishing some new water and decided to give Chautauqua Lake a try this weekend. In looking at the map and the DEC site to find a boat launch, we were thinking about the launch at Lucille Ball Memorial Pk. Is that boat launch in pretty decent shape? Thank you for any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I can’t speak to that one but I’ve launched at Bemus plenty of times and it’s a decent launch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JALA RUT Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thank you for the info. I was looking at the one at Bemus too. I've never fished Chautauqua and looking forward to it. Would love to hit up a nice musky over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pygmy Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Back when Moby Dick was a minnow, Chataugua was New York State's premiere musky fishery, for numbers of fish, although The St. Lawrence was king for size... Perhaps things have changed as most fisheries in NY have changed over the years.. I don't keep track of musky fishing much, since I have little interest in it...Too much time spent for too few fish..I prefer fishing for species where I can catch numerous fish in a few hours, rather than spend days trying to catch one fish..

JALA RUT Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 We'll see how it goes. Caught my 1st musky last year and hoping for a few more this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolc123 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 If you want to try for walleyes, the latest information that I have (from last season) indicates that the "hot bite" has been in the deep holes with jigging Rapalas. I used to go for walleyes down there a lot in my younger days, before I learned how much better bass are. I still have some good friends who are into them and they did very well down there last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
