Pro's Pointer
Dan Poormon winter fishing Canandigua lake: Silver buddys. Position your boat in 20ft of water, cast at a 45degree angle, let bait reach bottom, take up slack and lift bait off bottom. repeat this all the way to the boat. Most times, the fish hit the bait on the fall. Best time is Dec.
