Ah man, I go nonstop all year, thats what I love about ny theres such diverse fishing, from the spring bite to the summer topwater bite and then the fall frenzy all leading up to the magical waking on water season, of coarse lets not forget the striper run on the hudson or any of the runs coming out of ontario,...I just couldnt prefer one over the other realy !I would be a sad man if it were any different......
