I’ll take you up on that Brad.  I kind of know where you get them, I guess I need a lesson or two

I got a few spots but one spot is the best

Rockies on Sodus let me show you a thing or 2 I can go out and put a pounding on them right now for the next 2-3 weeks. Then after that water is 2 warm and they turn mush. They are still in Sodus just got to know where to find them
I believe they have been having rock bass tournaments on sodus in recent years, that can't help.

I am surprised the market is gone trapper.  Taken from cold water they are excellent table fare.  Do you have any idea why they are not in favor now?

Had a night last year swinging larhe streamers for brown trout.  Imagine my surprise when the rock bass started slamming the streamer!  God bless them.

100% I keep a few every ice season.  They are a saving grace if you are fishing with kids.  Fine fighters pound for pound.

I think gobies have really effected the Rock Bass fishery in the great lakes. Few and far between in Lake Erie these days.

Not too hard to get to bite., fished Sodus and many other opportunities for them., fun  for sure.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
