Smallmouth Bass
If smallmouth bass is on your mind near Red Creek, NY, consider venturing to the nearby Lake Ontario tributaries or the eastern basin of Lake Ontario itself. These rocky areas are prime habitat for smallies. The best time to target them is during the summer months and early fall. Look for rocky points, drop-offs, and submerged humps. A local’s secret is to drift tube baits or drop-shot rigs along these structures, especially during periods of low light. Public access is available at various points along the lake shore and at the mouths of the tributaries. The smallmouth bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and hard fighting ability. Sizes can vary, but fish in the 3-5 pound range are common. Be prepared for some excellent action, especially when the wind is blowing onto shore, creating a feeding frenzy.
