Crappie
If you're after crappie near Geneseo, Conesus Lake is again your best bet. This lake holds a decent population of crappie, often found near submerged structure and weed beds. The best time to target crappie is during the spring spawn (late April-May) when they move into the shallows to nest. Use small jigs tipped with minnows or tubes under a bobber, fishing near docks, brush piles, and weed edges. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. A practical tip: Conesus Lake crappie can be quite finicky, so experiment with different lure colors and presentations until you find what they're biting. The crappie tend to school up, so once you find one, there are likely more nearby. Public access is available through several boat launches, but be prepared for potentially crowded conditions, especially during peak season. Keep an eye on the local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on crappie activity.
