Hi, I'm Wisdom (Will to most) got 42 years under my belt; live in Saratoga Springs but fish all over NY State for Trout, Salmon, Bass, Walleye and Pike depending on the season. I mostly practice catch and release but will keep one on occasion (Especially Walleye).

Hi all, I'm Steve, I came to NY, from Louisiana  for a two week job and never left, LOL Great place here wonderfull people and love the outdoors here. Love any kinda fishin at 52 I've done most. I have come to realy enjoy relaxing with a pole or two and catchin crappies, panfish. Just havent found any cypress trees to fish around, If any could point out some good crappie lakes, I'd be happier than rabbit dog on a hot trail.
I live in central NY a little town called millbrook. Thanks fellas an fishin gals.

I just joined today.  I have a Ragin Cajun 1994 19' bass boat and fish as much as I can.  I would love to find out how to start a Northern NY Forum for areas north of Syracuse NY.  I have replied to a few forums today and added pics in the gallery.  Good to meet you all.  I am all about Northern Pike and Musky's and Bass.  Everything else is gravy.

Welcome aboard mate. The FishSalmonRiver.com Discussion Board kinda covers that area north of Syracuse up in Oswego County area, at least some of it. It is listed under the New York Boards. salmontrutta is the moderator there; I'm sure if you drop him a PM he can tell you better what it covers. Like going after them toothy critters myself especially during hard water.
    Again Welcome Aboard, cheers

You got me there.  I was hoping for the area even more north beyond Watertown but thought I would go as far as Syracuse.  However, those areas you mentioned are still very south of watertown.  Maybe however we can include it.  I just know I have a lot of fun stories I would love to share this year as I fish with my bass boat among lakes and rivers in my area.

To be honest most of us would love to hear them. While this is Eastern NY most of us will travel all over to get a line wet given the opportunity. North, South, East and West if it swims we'll fish for it.

Thanks blitz42.  Any time we get to chat with people who have the same passion as us like fishin...life is good.  Appreciate the welcome and can't wait to get more time to read and write more.

Ragin:

The spot you want to hit is Black Lake, as that has great bass, walleye, pike and crappies according to my fishing buddy from PA.  He goes up there for the whole month of May and says it is the best lake in New York for those species.
Haven't been there my self, but I'm sure there are others on this site that can give you some ideas about Black Lake.

Hey Cajun!  You name it, and someone on this board fishes for it...
 
I think it's safe to say that pretty much every Upstate species is pretty well covered by at least ONE guy here.
 
But in truth, it is probably more like MOST of them!  Hope we all get a chance to cross paths and get a few boats together sometime this summer.  It tends to happen on occassion with this gang!
