Redheads on Canandaigua Lake

The second season in our western zone ran from 12-28 to 1-12-14.
The colder the better in these parts for diver hunting---like this year.
As you know you really need to be geared up for it on the big lakes---it is not for the faint of heart.

Craig- Is the lack of ice on the lake usual, or is this an unusual year? Here in central NH our lakes are frozen with at least two feet of ice or more on them, including the "big" lake here, Lake Winnipesaukee.

Not from the recent airial pictures I saw yesterday. Still a large area of open water at the North end.

There were several large rafts of Red Heads and Cans at the north end of the Mackinaw bridge the first week of December. Other than a shipping lane i bet thats frozen now.

I used to enjoy hunting divers back in the day with a Browning A5 and lead shot.
