Hi John
I'm Kirk my boat's on Seneca out of Billy bob's a pro-line 210. These guys have such good information, I'm sure it's going to help.
I just wanted to say that when I first started fishing the finger lakes in 1999 my girlfriend at the time bought me a half day charter for a couple hundred bucks. I learned more about fishing the finger lakes that day than any one time since.
I'm not a Charter captain promoting my trade at all believe me, but think about the gas money you will save by not fishing unproductive areas and money saved not buying useless bait. We all know what our sport can cost, a couple hundred is a drop in the pucket. Think about it, I fish a lot of the same spots I was shown 11 years ago. Peace and good luck. Kirk
