    Seneca lake is listed as one of the top 5 Pike lakes in the state. Look around points, bays and coves. I got to warn you though Seneca lake gets rough real quick if you are in a boat my suggestion would be head into the wind to start. So that when the white caps start you have the wind at your back when your headed back in. I thought Chautauqua lake has Musky not pike. I fished there once and the eastern end gets choked with weeds so bad you can't get through it. the western side of the bridge has a very defined weed edge and might be a good spot to start trolling.  I hope this helps good luck and let us know how you make out.

    FISH THE BUFFALO WATERFRONT!!! fish it all spring until the weeds get so high that you cant twitch a Rapala HJ12. specifically small boat harbor. walk to the rocky point at the mouth of the marina and cast a seven inch husky jerk out as far as you can. try varying the colors but my go to color is blue and silver with an orange bottom. you can usually hit pike every other cast in here no matter what the conditions are. also try big #5 super vibrax's along the shores and weed beds all along Ellicot Creek.
