I have caught them under the I-79 bridges near shore in the heavy weeds on minnows.  They are small but (usually -around 10 inches or so) but hit hard for their size and a real pretty fish.

Try below the 79 bridge (I believe it is still the longest pontoon bridge in the world) as well as just southeast of there are Custards or back northwest of there just north of the town of Geneva at the bridge.  Have caught fish at all, from bullheads to northerns to pickerel to crappie, bass, and LOTS of bowfin.
