Went out with the yak breifly this morning at Glenville. Hooked up right away with a good sized smallmouth while throwning microcraws at the rock bass. Boat traffic was light.

I was out there also. Boat traffic was light, but found many boaters who didn't know the rules. I was trolling in a no wake zone, trying to stay away from the waves. Apparently, not many people know what NO WAKE means.

Anyways, fishing is picking up on the Mohawk. Caught a 42" pike in the no wake zone, and a 18" walleye below a lock. No pictures as I was fishing alone. May have to get a tripod.

After thought:
    I saw three boys fishing from shore. Probably 8-10 years old. They had their lines out, and were lifting rocks looking for crawfish and such. I couldn't help but remember how much fun it was fishing as a kid. It was so simple, and it really didn't matter if we caught anything or not.
    These days, I have a decent fishing boat, at least 15 rod and reel combos, and every lure in every color and every size.
     These kids were probably envious of me, wishing they were on a boat. But little did they know, I was even more envious of them.

Hook:

Great comment about kids on the shore and how much your envied them. I too have seen this while out fishing and remember the good old days of doing the same things as a kid.
Glad to hear you are having some fun on the Mohawk, as Moreau Lake, Lake Lonely and Saratoga Lake have been just as good to me. Problem with Moreau is all the bass are small (13-15"), but plenty of surface action between 6:15 and 7:45pm each night.

That is correct and you need to pay park pass fee or get a NYS Park Pass Permit.
