Another good day
New York Fishing

Exploring some new parts of the lake, trying out some new baits. Most of my success comes from fishing a wacky rig around the edges of lily pads. Yesterday I tied on a crank bait, went looking for bass in 6-10' of open water where I'd heard there were some submerged tree stumps. Caught these two plus a couple just under 2 pounds, and a nice-sized perch. Also fished a swim jig around some docks and weeds, hooked a healthy pickerel, got him up to the kayak, trying to figure out how to get him in, when he got his teeth on the line and escaped with the jig.

Nice fatties Don. I hate it when the toothy critters escape with a bait. Thanks for the pictures.

Nice coupla bucketmouth there, KD! Thanks for posting. I hope the stolen jig wasn't one of your favorite. Some other angler lucky (or unlucky) enough to snag that same pickerel down the road might have an extra jig to add to their tacklebox!

Went back to same spot as yesterday, got another 18” pickerel on the crank bait, but bass were not interested. Saw a likely patch of lilies, switched to the wacky-rigged Senko, and hooked this guy on the first cast.
