This isn't really a bass but find a dock in the springtime and practice your plastic worm or a curly tail jig fishing and you will load the live well with rockies. They are bottom feeders and according to the season fish accordingly. In winter they are in deep constant temperature water. Still fish with minnow or worms and ice fish with the same baits. Weeds in any season attract the sunnies.
Ice fish using minnows, grubs or worms are productive.
The south end of the lake and the weedy bays in the spring hold crappie. In the winter ice fish these areas also. Small minnows and jigs are the bait for all seasons and check your fish guide for new regulations on crappie. Come to the Finger Lakes Region. Fish Honeoye Lake where there is no bad place to fish and you will have a day to remember and a positive entry in your journal.
