June 20 opener of bass season

 June 20, marks the opener of bass season and from the St. Lawrence River to the Hudson River anglers will be out in force after either smallmouth or largemouth bass. Casting swim baits, spinner baits, bucktails and top water baits produced best. A lot of catfish are being caught.
Walleye: Several walleye are being caught while trolling nightcrawlers on flat banks in 18-to-20 feet of water. Bluegill are still biting crickets. Pier fishing was slow. Look for some near the rock reefs out in deeper water. Bass action has been very good, with grubs, worms and crawdad imitations working well.
