I have been hearing some good things about the pickerel fishing in the Henderson harbor area. Any comments on this?

Look into red lake in theresa. Has some camps to rent and connects to Indian river. My home lake. River is loaded with pike and lake has all kinds of fish to keep them busy. Only 20 min the st. Lawrence.

Thanks. I will check it out.

Eel bay off the west side of Wellesly island. Drift and cast at first light till you can't cast anymore. Throw spoons and spinners in 6-20 foot of water, and reel them in fast. If you have Loco spoons they never let me down. Windy days with light chop and big clouds is a bonus, they seem the hit when the light changes as clouds pass the sun. Any bays in that area are a good place to look, north side of Grinstone is great as well. Just don't go into Canada. Good luck and have fun.

Thanks. I know there is a boat launch at the state park. Do you know of a municipal launch closer to the bay?

I looked into the finger lakes and then dismissed them. Have you ever looked into renting a cottage for 5 on a finger lake? I will reconsider if I ever hit the lottery!

Hi All,

Brand new here. My name is Sam and I live in Berwick Pa. I am sure you all know Troy Creasy. I went to school with his brother Dave. I need some advice about pike fishing. I would like to take my 3 grandsons pike fishing. I normally fish the Canadian side however It gets a little complicated taking kids across the border that are not yours. I have been doing a lot of research and keep getting conflicting reports on the pike fishing. My question is. Where on the eastern shore or on the St Lawrence river would I have the very best chances of my grandkids catching a mess of pike? These are my options so far. Irondequoit bay, Sodus bay, Henderson Harbor, Sackets harbor, Black river bay, Chaumont bay, St Lawrence river at Clayton. I plan on coming up in August. What place would I have the very best chance of catching pike that time of year?  I have an Alumacraft navigator 175 CS. I thank you and my grandkids thank you.
