Smallmouth in Genesee or Braddock or IBay?

[Sicarii]

I have a friend coming up to visit this Saturday and he wants to go out fishing.  I have 2 kayaks, and I need to go out somewhere that will be Kayak accessible.  Both the Genesee and Braddock are pretty close to me and I could make it to Irondequoit bay easily enough.

 

My gut is to take him up the genesee towards High Falls, I have had the best luck through there but I always seem to catch mostly catfish.

 

Any tips or pointers?  I'd like to get on some smallmouth but the last couple of times fishing in Braddock and Irondequoit were unproductive although that was about a month ago now.

I can't offer any help with the genny.  but, I can tell you don't bother with braddocks.  too shallow and you will NOT catch smallies there.  wouldn't bother with I-bay either.  you will see them on occasion at the inlet/outlet in the spring, but otherwise impossible to target there.
