Fish New York’s Thousand Islands
Some call this area of the St. Lawrence River the most beautiful place on the planet.
Fish New York’s Oneida Lake
There is nearly 80 square miles of water to angle here, and fishermen get to choose from both smallmouth and largemouth.

Fish New York’s Niagara River
Of the 22.5 million people who visit Niagara Falls each year, almost none will take the time to look beyond the water crashing at its rocky base to see the monumental smallmouth fishery that exists there.

This is the time of year when you’ll find me employing power fishing tactics on the offshore ledges throughout the South.
A crazy year for seasonal patterns
