Justin, that'd be an absolute blast. That's something I'd be very interested in. I was just on their website and I didn't see any events scheduled for New York in the future....I could've been in the wrong place though Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

BSmaster, I found that after bringing the frog in on a steady side to side retrieve them stopping it at about halfway through the cast and waiting ten seconds seemed to trigger the fish. I too was using that type of rod, paired with a curado Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks guys! Panfisher, it was a booyah pad crasher, and thanks for the suggestions. Justin, thanks for the info and tips. Just got my wisdom teeth out, so I'm out of commission for a few days. I'll be sure to give it a try this weekend when I'm out next Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

My buddy Jason (yankeejman1042)and I decided to hit up Onondaga and fish the shores for bass today. Weather was beautiful, water was 77 degrees, and the fish were biting. Here's a couple highlights. Heading back out Friday, more to come. https://vimeo.com/174298513 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

^ good luck! Let us know how you do, curious to see what sizes get caught in there. hopefully I'll make it up mid to late summer for some pike and big largies Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I'm interested too as to what works and where there. I have only heard good things about that lake and am looking to head out there soon for pike and bass... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

@Rawbee Glad to hear I share the same views as someone on here. They are some nasty little creatures Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

SPINNERBAITS! Seriously, they will produce the most pike for you from my experience. Especially if you figure getting into other species. It'll get you into pike and bass. Get some white and red spinnerbaits and tip them with some soft plastics with curly tails. I prefer 1/2 spinnerbaits, tandem willow blades. Presentation is key.

Here's my two cents from quite a bit of research and fishing trials. Fished Onondaga lake earlier this spring just for kicks from shore, and tallied 20 goby vs 1 sunfish. You literally put a worm 1 foot off of the shore and these things hammer it. They are all over the place. It's disappointing. Big ones too. I googled the record just for kicks and saw that one I caught came up 2 inches shy. Rolmops is correct in that they are beneficial for water quality. However, They give hell to spawning bass, and reproduce many times a year with extremely high hatch rates. More gobies = more eaten eggs from gamefish. That is why I find it incredibly ridiculous that in lakes in which there are goby, anglers are still allowed to fish for spawning bass. You pull a bass of their nest for thirty seconds and those goby swarm it like angry bees and eat their eggs. The whole bass fishing season is another issue in my opinion, but I won't get into that. I guess my opinion about goby is that as destructive as they are, they aren't going away anytime soon, so I am hoping fish continue to adapt to them, and eat them as their "main" diet. It's a waiting game, in which we need to continue to try to contain them, as we can't simply scoop out every goby front these lakes, for we can just stop the spread.
