Only managed to snag one right above the mouth at Ronkonkoma, not even sure if it hit. That was a couple months back and at least once a week, I head there with a different tactic and come back empty handed. Any tips or other lakes I should be hitting? Thanks! I have a kayak and a dinghy with a trolling motor by the way.

Fish the stumps in 15ft of water.
Fish around the edges of the holes

Tactics always work at home.:laugh: Go fishing for Stripers. It`s sort of the same fish but doesn`t jump.:laugh:

Hit Fort Pond. I always do best there for smallies.

never got to respond to this thread, thanks guys! I've been getting better at fishing ronkonkoma, my friend caught a smallie there while dropshotting a purple trick worm it had to be 3 ish pounds, I don't have a scale so I'm not really sure but it was definitely a nice fish by long island standards. I also found that curly tail grubs fished on a jighead get lots of hits. Tight lines!
