Small Boat Bass Waters

[Pasquatch]

Anybody have any ideas for smaller lakes with good bass populations within, oh, 25 miles of Westerlo? On the Greene/ Albany County Line, have been going to ponds and streams, and Thompsons, looking for something new. Pike and or trout would be a nice bonus, but definately not neccesary.  Thanks guys!

Here are a few I fish
Warners
Onerdonk
Myosotis
white birch
Thompsons
Lawsons
There are 3 or 4 ponds in the partridge run area all small bass.
We use a 12 foot alum. with a trolling motor.What are you using.
Green lake in Greene county is fun but it a time consuming lake.

Well, I can probably bike to Lawsons, lol.
I'll probably go in the old 17 foot Grumman canoe, its fine for Thompsons, whick is one of the biggest of the local waters.
I don't know how to get access to Onderdonk, I though it was private...
I want to fish White Birch, train dogs there in the summer...any good sized fish in there?
Does Warners have better bass fishing than Thompsons? Fished it once in the winter, it was slow. Does anyone catch the brookies in there? Have the eyes gotten bigger than 12" yet?
Thanks for the reply forgot about White Birch...

Park at the spillway at Onderdonk.Never had a problem.Warners lake Use to launch at the bar but it has a new owner now.Not sure if there will be access there.Try Myosotis Just down the road from white birch.Big bass in there.How are you gonna pull the canoe on your bike to lawsons.White Birch is only 8 to 10 feet deep.Good quiet day out.

I'd like to hook up with someone on white birch, too. I'll bring my 17' grumman with trolling motor. I here there at tons of toothy pickeral.  We'll hook up sometime in the spring or summer.

Lots of Pickeraleys in there but its like reeling in a stick.All have been pretty small.

6lb test, light action 5' cherrywood, or ultra-light 4-1/2' rod and they are fun. 
Is there anything of size in any of the lake in partridge run?

[Pasquatch]

My guess is nothing huge, but probably alot of small picks, bass and gills. 5' UL setup, 15" pickerel are alot of fun! What about like a 5 weight flyrod?

I wanna fish the Alcove!!

[STRIPER]

I cant remember all the names there but a few are useless.They look like they hold good fish,but only small stuffor nothing at all.I will be up there june 24 to the 27.Guys weekend from the women...We fish all the ponds and lakes.Never seen another person on Myosotis.There are some 5-6 lb largemouth in there.Make sure you have your lic.life jackets reg for the boat.Law is always up there.
