I probably would still be out there, but there was really not much there as far as a diverse fishery. I grew up in Central NY, and we have some of the best fishing of anywhere in the country. I can wake up early, drive 45 min. north and catch salmon, then on the way home stop at Oneida Lake and catch some walleyes shore casting. The sound has it's pros as well though. SCENERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
