My son has a baseball tx in Cooperstown and would like to do a guided trip for smallmouth 1 day on our way there. Somewhere between Buffalo and Syracuse. Any suggestions on a lake and guide? Never been to the area, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Id stay right in Cooperstown and fish Otsego. I’ve never heard a bad thing about that guy.
another option would be to fish Oneida.. theres quite a bit of guides as well and is about 1.5hrs from the mid lake region.
while you’re here, stop to the Fly Creek Cider Mill. It’s an awesome store and the cider mill has been open for 166 years.
oh and eat some chicken riggies, Utica greens, Utica tomato pie, and half moons from hemstraughts bakery! Very regional food, typically you can’t find it once you get 1hr from utica. Kind of like the garbage plate of Rochester or spedies in binghamton.
if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM. I live about 30min from Cooperstown and can give you some pointers on the area

if your going through Buffalo you can always fish Erie
Definitely on the list. Any recommendations for a guide?Originally Posted by harrys
Yes, First Class Bass Charters with captain Terry Jones. Terry is a great guy and been guiding Lake Erie and the Niagara River over 25 year, he keeps his boat in the river so if you book a day and the weather is to windy for the lake he can keep you in the river, there are lots of big small mouth in the river as well. I didn't see Terry last season but he usually guides out of a 20' Lund Sport fishing model, lots of room and comfortable
