Also, went to FDR State Park the other day and caught this bass.

canopus lake rents boats, i think they open at 8 for boat rentals.  That lake is filled with turtles.  It is only a max of 15 feet deep.  Ive caught plenty of bass in that lake and pickerel using plastic worms.  It's a great place to fish and relax.

Thanks johnjav. Ill post some pics of whatever I catch. Hopfully i dont hook a turtle.

if you dont get a boat try and fish the beach area right between canopus lake and the beach.  I fished that area a few times and caught a bunch of nice sized lmb.  I always put them back right away. Canopus lake gets fished hard but still produces decent bass.  trolling motors are allowed on it also.

Mohansic opens late 10 am no shore fishing tons of crappies use  troutworms or small tubes grubs .Canopus open 8am and you can shore fish early.If going after 10am anyway Id go for Crappies in Mohansic But thats just me LOL .

Hard to tell without a pic. But I've caught big golden shiners in some
places about a foot long. They would fit the description.
