Conesus Lake Bass Fishing
Conesus has been frustrating to say the least. Last Tuesday, my partner and I had a decent three fish limit of bass in ten minutes, which left us with two hours and fifty more minutes to upgrade with some bigger fish. It didn’t happen. The weights were much smaller this week and several anglers had problems even getting bit. Some folks managed one bigger fish and then only a couple of small ones to fill their bag. Conditions had changed and we anglers just didn’t pick up on what had taken place. This is part of the challenge and what makes fishing so much fun; entering their environment and using artificial lures to trigger a feeding response. When you feel that little tick, see your line jump, or feel a slight pressure when you start to pick up the bait, setting the hook on a good fish makes all the hard work fun.
A mix of baits worked, including wacky rigs, jig’n pig and brush hogs. Depending on the fishing method and the catch rate, we fished depths ranging from 5-15 feet, with weed edges and thicker weeds producing the most fish.
