Fishing locations?

Lake Erie! For sheer numbers and size, you can't beat Lake Erie. Black Lake in NY is a good fishery that is completely unpolluted - located in St. Lawrence County. Pittsburgh has many great fisheries and a Bmaster Clic was even held there! The finger lakes in NY are outstanding! Lake Champlain and Lake George in NY also great! I've fished in many waters around the country and fishing in NY is equal to, if not better than southern and western lakes. But for size, it's lake Erie all the way, especially the eastern basin. There aren't many people who fish that lake (very underfished for it's size), and most people ignore Largemouth and Pike opting for smallies and walleye. I've caught Largemouth in excess of 8 pounds from some of the shallower areas along the Niagara River. I've caught many a pike over 40 inches, and they still get bigger! If you're looking for a world record experience however, the St. Lawrence River offers a real shot on every cast of a world record pike or musky! Makes me sad to be moving to Georgia really! New York has a LOT of fish, but not a whole heck of a lot of job opportunities! lol
