It means, you will find us where the action is at its best, staying on top of the larger schools of sport fish throughout the entire year.

Largemouth Bass
If you're chasing Largemouth Bass near Penn Yan, New York, look no further than the legendary Keuka Lake. Its unique Y shape provides diverse habitat, from shallow weedy bays to deep, rocky points, all holding bass. The best time to target largemouth is during the pre-spawn in late spring (May) and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits are effective for covering water, while flipping jigs around docks and weed edges can produce bigger fish. Local tip: pay close attention to water clarity as it can vary greatly depending on recent weather. On clear days, use natural-looking baits and lighter line; in stained water, opt for brighter colors and heavier line. The largemouth population in Keuka Lake is healthy, with good numbers of fish in the 3-5 pound range. Several public boat launches provide easy access to the lake, but be prepared for boat traffic, especially on weekends.
