    Henderson Bay - Lake Ontario

    Heading to Harbor End Marina for a weekend of Small mouth fishing. Cannot keep any but can fish them.

    Anyone have a clue on where to start since I have never been there before or on East Coast for that matter.

    Is it Jerkbaits, tubes, senkos....? water temp about 52 I hear.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks ahead of time

    Can’t fish for bass before next weekend in Jefferson County/Ontario/ 1000 islands. Even catch and release is off limits so if you’re up there before then expect to be visited by the ECon

    Yes the water is high. Doing a quick google search looks like the water level is continuing to rise but no new reports have been updated since beginning of June. Last month Little Sodus Bay had a speed limit of 5mph for the entire bay. I haven’t been up there since May but I know it’s still very high for this time of year.

    As far as I know the only bay without a 5mph limit is Sodus Bay where it is a 5 mph within 1000' from shore
    I still stop way short of 1000' because the flooding is pretty bad
