This video is to show a little bit of the fish population in Chautauqua lake and all the different fish species and how they interact with one another. I sink a go pro underwater and record Muskies to Bluegill. Enjoy!
I rarely do see crappie. It maybe just the locations I’m fishing are usually outer edge of weed beds. If I was closer to some sunken structure it might be different
Yes Bluegill Pumpkinseed sunfish Rock Bass Yellow Perch White Perch White Bass Carp Walleye Smallmouth Bass Muskie Darter I believe that is everything in this video. I have other videos of Chautauqua Lake with some other species as well.
That is a great video. Some really nice waleye. Many years ago I went to a Christian camp on the lake. Not sure if its still there. I remember duving off the dock and seeing a muskie looking at me.
@@warnerhuntohio1129 I can't remember anymore. That was @55 years ago. I remember canoeing across to Jamestown and listening to an open air concert. It was very beautiful there.
@@warnerhuntohio1129 The lake simply isn't what it once was. I've been away for many years, but this last year I finally really fished. It was tough to get anything but perch most of the time, and not good perch. I RARELY, really rarely find schools of crappie, and never get any smallies, at least not more than one in a long stretch. I'm a skilled angler and I've fished this lake successfully for decades. I know this lake. This lake used to be a fish factory, and now it's actually worse than almost anyplace else, in almost every way except muskies, and that is really only just ok. I used to regularly get 5lb+ smallies, and 1.5+ crappies. Used to catch MORE crappies than perch. Now you get 50-100 under sized perch and a bunch of who cares what size they are white perch. White bass used to be common. Now they are rare. Bass of both species are far less common. The lake is sick, and no one is doing anything meaningful about it. The lake is an absolute cesspool all summer. It's frankly disgusting. I see people out there tubing, water skiing, and swimming and I think how can they stand going in this water. The green slime lake.
