Hello All!
Newbie here... Allow me to tell you a little about myself. My name is Dave I am 42 yrs old. I live in N.E. Pa. However, I was born and raised in Queens N.Y. I have fished since I was 3. I did all my fishing as a kid in a relatively small lake called "Kissena" in flushing N.Y. I remember back in the 60's early 70's when you could rent a row boat at Kissena. I also remember being the only one at the lake fishing for bass while everyone else was fishing for carp and catfish. I caught some super nice bass there (up to 6 lbs). In my mid teens I fished a few of the N.Y. reservoirs (Titicus and Muscoot) with my uncle. We only fished from the shore as we did not have a boat. My uncle then purchased a canoe. We then started fishing one of the Bear Mountain 7 lakes, forgot which one??? it was (I think) the smallest one of the lakes. I remember it being the first one on the right when entering the park from the N.Y.C. direction. We then started (in 76 or 77 ?) fishing a stretch of the peconic river on the eastern end of L.I. I have been asked many times "which part of the peconic", I always tell them I really don't know lol. All I remember is we got off at exit 69 (l.i.e.) made a right then a left (I think) went down a road and pulled into a small opening in the woods. Where there was a very small clearing to park. We would have to drag the canoe down a steep muddy incline to launch our canoe. Once in the water if we went left we would fish some small coves and would eventually come to a tunnel or water way that ran right under the LIE. Anybody know what part of the Peconic we were fishing??? I remember the weeds being so thick you could walk on them and not get your feet wet lol. I fished there until the mid 80's When I got a real job and did not fish much for a few years. I then upped and moved to N.E. Pa. I mostly fish a small lake named "Minsi" Its got some nice bass. The state also stocks trout there but I don't fish for trout. I want to fish Lake Wallenpaupack more than I have. I hired a local guide (Bill Albright) just so I could find a few good spots. I need a bigger boat however to fish that lake and am currently saving to purchase one by next spring.
I didn't mean to ramble on. I just wanted to tell you all something about the fishing side of me.
Regards to all,
Dave
