Equipment
Boat
We are fishing from a new boat this year; a 2021 Nitro Z19 dual console bass boat. The boat has a 200 hp Mercury 4-stroke motor, two depth finders, a 24 volt trolling motor, a cooler, comfortable seating and large, aerated live wells. The boat will be inspected and certified as a "Public Vessel" by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Rods and reels
We provide high quality graphite rods equipped with Shimano Sahara or Pfleuger President spinning reels.
Lures
We carry a wide range of lures - soft plastics, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, jerkbaits, jigs, tubes, topwater baits, etc.
Bring your own?
You are welcome to bring your own tackle if you prefer, but we have all the tackle you will need.
