The only water not frozen is these rivers and I am dying to fish. I went out to the Cresant area on the Mohawk and fished 2-3 hours under the bridge from the shore and didnt catch a thing. I tried crank baits, spinning baits, jigs, spoons ect but have no idea what I am doing. Only started fishing seriously this last summer and just started figuring out the warm weather fishing and got plenty of fish. I have a lot of public access for fishing these rivers and would love to catch fish! Any tips on methods to catch them would be great.

Anything north of Poughkeepsie is Upstate NY.

I actually fished that spot once years and years ago when I tried to get into fishing. I forgot all about it. Thanks for reminding me of it I will check it out when im out that way. I wonder if its fishable now or froze. Does the river freeze like the lakes is now?

I live in Albany area and just took up fishing this past summer. Fished mainly Tomhannock Reservoir from august to december. I took pictures these are my biggest bass fish. Did not have a scale until the end of season and last big one I caught was 3.8 pounds on scale. One of those I got was WAYYY bigger than he was so I wish I had a scale for him! Catched most off heddon top water bait and some off blue fox silver vibrax lure. Interested in hearing if anyone else is from around this area and if they know good spots. Last catch was around Nov 18 then nothing bite the last few times I went and ice was starting to form.
