I fish a few ADK lakes quite a bit over the years for Bass and Pike . My experience is they are generally rocky. Find weeds and you find fish ..Usually where small run off steams carry sediment down from the mountains . I would throw spinnerbaits and in line big mepps over the weeds . I also fish 3 to 5" senkos on jig heads on the weed edges and dropoffs . Colors would be brass blades and black and red or orange . Black Fury is good. For plastics dark colors .Black , green pumpkin, watermelon red flake . The water is tanic or tea stained . Good luck

So I was doing the row boat bass thing before dark and got an about 8# Atlantic on a jig . Hit like a ton of bricks and I thought it was going to spool me . Left camera at the cottage

I pulled an old colman metal ice chest out of someone's garbage , took the driver's seat out and used that for my seat and tackle box . It rusted and I found another one , same thing and did it again . Nice job though. It looks like you took your time on it . And that coming from a guy who is a professional trim carpenter since 1979 and made my share of built-ins , fireplace mantels etc . Not what I want to do when I come home .

Just for you entertainment and inquisitive knowledge , I was fishing Bass Fri night at Sandy and and got a good look at a 6# silver, steelhead or coho, jump about 15 ft off the end of the jetty . I got a real good look at it .

IMO , this just sets a bad example . I was under the assumption that the law states you must unhook an out of season fish and immediately release it. No pic , no weigh . And I know there are guys who fish the beds . And other than the St Lawrence ( I think) you can C& R Bass out of season . I catch a lot of out of season Bass . But to have what amounts to a swarm of locusts converge on a lake for a week during closed/ spawning season is just wrong .Sets a bad example . They couldn't wait a few weeks till the season is open .The DEC and Finger lakes think this is a good idea ? There are some southern lakes that have multiple tournaments every week on them and the Bass fishing has gone from great to terrible on them because of it . A lot of fish die from the stress. So they ruin the lakes down there and they want to do it up here ? These are not stocked fish , it takes what , 6 years to grow a keeper size Bass .

Let me preface this by saying I catch and release a lot of Bass this time of year . How is it that there is a Bass tournament on Cayuga lake when Bass season is closed and it's spawning season ? How does the DEC allow this ? And how do tournament organizers with good conscience think this is a good idea ?

Nice of them to take care of business. But sounds to me they are selling a defective product .
