Recently moved to Fairport from wayne county. Wondering about any spots worth trying.
-
What are you looking for? Do you mean other than the bays and ponds around Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes?
Fairport is not that far from Wayne County, so many of the same places should apply. Or are you looking for little local bodies of water?

More of local to the fairport like 20 minutes or so of a drive. Always go to sodus bay and kill the perch just looking for a new spot to try. I read a little about mendon ponds park but unaware of ice conditions
-
There is a thread under Reports for Mendon Ponds. Ice was fine, fishing not so good for me. Irondequoit Bay is about 20 minutes away. There are also some local ponds on the east side of Fairport, an old landfill that people fish at. Don't know if they ice fish there.

Port Gibson, wide waters canal is right there, just before newark on 31.

By the way, those ponds in Fairport I was talking about are on Perinton Parkway.
-
Bunch of golf courses out that way, could always drill some holes on those little ::)ponds and post up on a bucket

You'll want to be getting permission from the golf courses before you go cutting holes in their ponds, none of them are public, and to my knowledge none of them are letting you in to fish in the summer months, so I would question whether they are going to let you on in the winter. Better to hear it here, than from a County Mounty giving you a trespassing ticket!
