About 15 years ago, while my son was in the 10th Mountain at Fort Drum we had some great crappie trips to Black Lake. Does anyone know how good it is now? Have any better ideas for a good NY crappie trip????
We use to fish Payne Lake just outside of Oxbow. Go on Rt 11 till Antwerp turn left on Fox Ranch, right Cty Rt 24 keep left till T intersection then left go thru town then left and about tenth mile boat launch on right. Back by the cliffs at end opposite of boat launch we could fill up a bucket with crappies and it has some nice bass in it to. Light pressure mainly by the boat launch.
