Quick outing on the Mohawk today.

So I finally was able to get my lazy****out of bed for a little fishing. What I love about the Mohawk is that you can toss the same lure in the same spot and never know what to expect on the other end of the line.

Started off catching this walleye right off the bat. Didn't take a picture of it until later in the day. 15" even. Just barely made it to the filet knife.


Next I hit this smallie in about 18fow. It's not a big guy, but he sure stirred up some action. When I got him close to the boat, there were 4 other smallies surrounding him. And one was a MONSTER. Unfortunately, I couldn't get that one, but I did try.


Next I motored over to the crappie hole. It's hit or miss here (usually miss). But I didn manage to get a couple.



And on the way in, I managed a few rock bass. Nothing to brag about, but fun nonetheless.



Thanks for reading. I'll be out of commission for the next 7 days. Working midnights kicks my****

Nice day! I have been hitting more and more walleyes on the mohawk. Very true, you never know what you're going to get. I hit a pike 2 weeks ago in about 2 fow that I couldn't get in the net. Same hole I hit 2 smallies that were real nice. You have to love the mohawk. Planning on hitting it Friday night as well.

Hook- Are you a nisky boy too?

You know I am! How soon you forget of the past refrences to the Alplaus and Lishakill. . I was like 2 years ahead of you. You gave me some advice on my steering cable as well a while back. Remember now. From the pictures and all, you seem to be doing pretty well this summer. I wish that I could get a few pictures up to share, I am having some troubles with photoshop. I'll keep trying though.

Sounds like a good day out there Doug , wtg man !

where on the mohawk do you guys fish? where is the launch? i really want to fish that river but i dont know the area at all. 

You can go in at Lock 7 which is right off of Rosendale Road in niskayuna. It is a pretty nice launch with parking for about 8-10 trailers. This puts you above the lock. Travelling further on the same road towards colonie, the old train station is there. I haven't been there in a few years, but you used to be able to get in there. It is shallow, muddy and usually filled with pads all around, this puts you below the lock. You also have the town of colonie launch which I think they charge like $5.00 or something. If you travel towards Schenectady, Freemans bridge road has a public launch next to the Lighthouse restaurant.

I can only imagine what the mohawk will look like tomorrow with all of this rain. I was so looking forward to hitting it hard tomorrow morning, b ut I'm not sure it will be worth it. The last time I fished it after rains like this, SKUNKED was the word
