[@daveyboy6832]

Fun for me to watch... I hit this lake ALOT... as well as its northern "twin", and also down the road from here as well.

Awesome video keep it up

[@robertlucas8104]

Welcome back James! Last fish I caught just north of first spot was a little 12” bass on a black and orange mepps. Saw him slurp it up right by the bank. I’m going crazy with freshwater, dying for some salt... been hearing input from some guys that surf cast the rocky beaches and jetties for spring togs. Maybe even early stripers due to the mild weather.

[@jamesschlickoutdoors]

Yeah I'm over freshwater, I'm ready for some salt haha. I think we're definitely going to have a earlier season for stripers with this mild winter🤞

[@robertlucas8104]

James Schlick Outdoors yeah I’ve been hearing bunker pods have gotten in early by me in Western Nassau. I’m almost tempted to throw a tin there. Schoolies busting up by the south shore in Suffolk apparently. Man this freshwater was tough, I was happy even with a little bluegill. But it’s time to move along! 🤞🏼

[@colbyspikes7438]

I’ve tried a few ponds and lakes in LI, but haven’t found any crappie yet. Mind saying where you got into them in that video? Great content. Appreciate it

[@fishkeepingwithmatt2101]

I'm pretty sure Hempstead lake has crappie

[@johndonovan7334]

Good to see you back James. Good start for your first trip back up north.

[@jamesschlickoutdoors]

Thanks John!

[@nunzi83]

The spot around 8 min mark is my absolute fav place. Especially earlier in the summer. Spinners and senkos are the best. Frogs work well against the back

[@JamesP29]

I think you're fishing in my spot! Lol I don't think they stock that one (the first lake) with trout. The other one they do...

[@kevinmclary7888]

Blydenburg?

[@billcoyne7717]

Gotta love getting into a great school of crappie with an ultra-light rod.

[@williamgwynn6624]

Where is the spot located

[@RobBassMaster]

Nothing like catching multi species on ultra light gear. Wow, in the last 15 years... I have had no one ask me for fishing license. Nice pickerel and crappies catches, Brother! 🎣👊🏼

[@robertk28k29]

Welcome back awesome to see your videos I went today so many perch and big blue gills on night crawlers and crappie magnet trout were rolling all over the lake but they were not hitting anything....

[@robertk28k29]

Nice crappie !!!!! Wow they love that magnet

[@robertk28k29]

I also heard the schoolies a showing up on the south shore of Long Island

[@anthonybasile7636]

I've watched alot of your videos and never seen anyone in a fishing kayak or jon boat. Is that permitted in the lakes and ponds on Long Island? I'm in Nassau and looking to get into some fresh water. I'm primarily bay fishing.

[@jamesschlickoutdoors]

Some lakes on the island allow kayaks and boats. You can see the list of lakes here which ones allow boats/kayaks: www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7951.html In my videos you don't see many boats or kayaks because i do a lot of freshwater fishing during the winter months so not a lot of people take their boats/kayaks out.

[@anthonybasile7636]

@@jamesschlickoutdoors Thank! appreciate the help

[@trevor11popp82]

Was that at Blydenburg park

[@placebo3273]

What pond is that? I hit up argyle and southards pond the past 2 days with no luck

[@GeneralGP114]

I thought with everything going on , they weren't going to worry about the license. Since most places to renew are closed down.

[@theloneangler3320]

Was that the Southern State in the background?.. I'm from North Babylon. Just wandering. What part of the Island you from if you don't mind me asking? .I like your videos..they make me a little homesick 😉👍💜✝️🎣🇺🇸.. P.s. I have a Berkeley Cherrywood rod Medium light that I use for Peacock bass in my canal here S. Florida. I love it!!

[@jamesschlickoutdoors]

I'm Bohemia. I wish i was down in S. Florida right now fishing for pea's lol, and to get away from this coronavirus madness up here 😆. Thanks for the comment and tight lines!

[@theloneangler3320]

James Schlick Outdoors I’m in Holbrook. This is a good spot your at. And not being in Florida lately is the smartest thing. It’s Crazy the difference a month or two can make.
