Sweet fish man! Looks like your Smallies are getting a little larger each time!
HLS- trolling a big Mepps along those weedlines near where the Lisha Kill pours in can be a TON of fun...
I did it all the time last summer, and the summer prior... It looks like you are probably near the old Niskayuna Train Station? Or closer to The Twins? The radio tower in the background of that perch photo sure looks like the WTRY tower near the Nisky/Latham town lines?
I am like friggin MATLOCK, right?
Blitz, some of those weedlines go on for a mile or more... TONS of fish in there, but there is a heck of a lot of weeds to cover to find the fish! I typically stay about ten feet off the line and troll some type of bladed lure to keep the weeds to a minimum... If I could find a way to get a RattleTrap through that stuff without hanging up it would be a BLOODBATH in there! They just seem to collect weeds most times though...
