Take the Thruway to the Leroy area and hop on the 490 to Rochester. Take 490 all the way through the city to 590 north. Take 590 north all the way to the end, there will be a few lights at the very end near Lake Ontario. Keep going straight until you reach the point where you have to turn right or left. Take a right. Go over the little bridge over the Irondequoit Bay outlet and go another 1/4 mile or so until you see the Bayside Bar on the right. Park there and access the NE cove from there. A shallow cove, about 4 feet average. Sometimes good perch are in there, but small perch are almost always there. Another spot to access is the parking lot just before that little bridge, I believe that is the county launch. From there you can walk all the way out to the end of the channel markers where it drops quickly into very deep water. This is also a popular spot, but I don't think that is anywhere near safe yet.
