Haven't been personally, however I hear mendon ponds is pretty decent for shore catching. The Pond Just north of where the 390 splits to the 590 has some hawgs in it as well. For not too expensive of a day, (and a great lead into why you should purchase one someday) you can rent a boat out at sodus bay, where you can kill em off the points either drop shotting finess worms or jerking a fluke. For best success I buy every color that is Green Pumpkin. *** 5"ers or Senkos work well.

for a second I thought this was a bar story Grats on the PB!

How did it go? I have been on Cayuga 2x this year. only landed 1 smallie worth talking about. actually its the one in the pic. Considering that I am 6'4" the fish isnt that bad

OK tutorial on Wings for those people outside of Buffalo. I was a Kitchen manager during college for one of the more successful pizza and wing joints out in Amherst NY, NE suburb of Buffalo. First Get some Franks Original Red Hot sauce I buy it in gallon size for about $16 local. It is worth the shipping if you cant get it local anywhere. This stuff is excellent on everything. I put it on my eggs, potatoes, pizza, tacos... EVERYTHING! Buy your wings 6-10 count per lb. Anything smaller is cooks too fast not meaty enough and anything larger just wont have that crunch. Heat your fryer to 375. Cook the wings 14(normal)-22(Super Crunchy) minutes In a good size mixing bowl pour the Hot Sauce:Liquid Butter ratio to taste (about a cup of mixed sauce per dozen). Hot- Straight up Franks with a tiny splash of butter Medium - 3:2 Mild - 1:2 Garlic Parm is equally easy. Just throw a couple handfuls of parm cheese in with a tablespoon or two of minced garlic with ~2 cups of liquified buttter in the bowl and toss em up. Enjoy.

Could you give some hints (general areas), my boss is having a summer party early aug. He maintains that it is a fairly sandy bottom. Nice guy and allowing us to use his boat. We wont have a fishfinder so any help at all would be really appreciated. PM if you dont want them public. I am just nervous of having 6 hours of blind casting with no results =/

Thanks Glenn! As a noob, who so far has not caught a single fish on spinners, I found the video very informative. Cant wait to try it out this weekend.

Wondering if anyone has owned or any thing good/bad to say about the Gander Mountain Tournament Baitcast Reel Item No 410568. I would link it but I am too new to the boards to create links. This would be my first baitcasting reel and it seems a good deal for the money. The one in that pic is owned by my GFs father :-[

Been out 4 times so far this year, been carded twice here in the finger lake region of NY
