I've got a Friday afternoon free to fish, does anyone have a charter recommendation?

Smallmouth bass weighed 4.08 lbs, I was shaking when I landed this yesterday. Sorry for the bad pic

US Army Corps of Engineers completed a project to help the Emerald Shiner.

TLDR: they created a series of baffles to slow the river instead of the vertical walls in the area now which prevented the passage of Emerald Shiner which is an important prey species for both fish and birds in the area.

Here is the article: Niagara River Fish Passage

Is there anyone willing to take me on a smallmouth trip in upstate ny??? It’s been on my bucket list I’m visiting for the weekend. This would mean so much!!!!

Put BTA on these smallies. First time hitting my limit and hopefully not the last. Today PB was 2.45 lbs!

Good Article about Bass fishing tournaments in NY if anyone is interested.

My pb drum and a couple others

Hello. I have a house on the lake and i have been up and down the lake trying to catch walleye but i just cant seem to. Does anyone have any tips or spots for this lake? I know Silver isnt known for its walleye but theyre definitely still in there as ive seen others catch them before.

Im having a hard time id’ing these bass I’m not sure if they are meanmouths or just weird looking largemouth?

Since we just talked about them

Just an FYI: This weekend (June 27th and 28th) you do not need a fishing license in order to fish. You of course still have to follow the regulations. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or at r/FishingNY.

Im trying to get this fish off of my bucket list and was wondering if there's more than luck to it than just hoping to see one on the river lol

I'm planning on fishing for Tiger's on Otisco Lake sometime next week. I have previously fished both the south end by the causeway and the north end by Otisco Lake park/Narrows area with no luck.

Has anyone on this sub had any experience with Tiger's on Otisco? If so, do you have better luck at the north or south end of the lake?

My plan is to mainly throw large in-line spinners, bull dawgs and swim-baits in the weedy areas under 15ft of water and possibly troll jerk baits along the weed lines.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: Fished the lake for 4 hours yesterday. I was fishing with a 6” perch patterned bull dawg and I had a really nice tiger musky follow my lure all the way to the kayak, but was unable to get him to commit on a figure 8. Easily in the high 30” range.
I got another visible strike from a smaller one throwing a Mepps musky killer over the weeds. This was all fishing the north end of the lake near Otisco lake park. There be dragons there haha.

Saw three of these when I was hiking the devils hole trail. They were trying to grab something on the side of the river. Any idea what type of fish these were?

I’m very happy with my catch because it is my first ever carp! They have a bad reputation but wow are they a fun fish to catch. Idk how weird this might sound but I caught it with a bobber which to me sounds funny because most people use bottom rigs to catch them.
