Conesus lake Tiger tips wanted

[Stephen Glassic]

Does anyone have any experience fishing Conesus for Tigers?  I will probably be going there this Sunday and I thought I might try targeting them.  I have found some information on the web.Sounds like the weed beds at the north end is a good bet with small cranks, jerk baits and spinnerbaits.  Also it seems like silver colors and white for colors.  C0an anyone give me any recent first hand info?

I have had a lot of fun with pike in Conesus but no tigers yet.  Our best luck for them by far is casting husky jerks.  There are lots of fish in the weed beds, but all our big ones have come getting on the outside of the weedbed and working the edge in about 18'.  One of my friends has caught several nice tigers there in the last few years doing that.

Steve, try the Lake Ontario United Message Board.  I'd bet there are a bunch of anglers there that could help you with your Conesus questions.

North end weed beds and McPhersons bay just up from the launch is where we had luck the last couple years. 6in silver in black grandmas, white and chart spinnerbaits and 6in phantom softtails did well for us early. Last time there was beginning of month and perch krave Jr. And full size fire tiger d raider smoked em in 10-18 fow. It's hard to stay on the deep weed edges because the drop offs are crazy steep. we caught a ton of pike 26-38in but only a few tigers and all but 1 mid 30incher very small. Did have a guy catch a 39incher trolling a perch j13 past McPhersons point our last time out.
