what is the best spot in that park for bass? Also does anyone know where I could get live minnows nearbye?

There is a sports shop called Dave's on Rt.17 North before the 7 lakes drive. It is right off the thru-way when you enter to the Rt.17 North. It is about 1/8 mile after the light. They do have live shiners.

I used to get shiners at Hansen's on 9W in Tompkins Cove.

I think Bear Mt. only has Hessian Lake in it's boarders, so I assume you mean Harriman State Park. I like Kanauwaukee. Really helps to have a boat/kayak (must get permit at Tioratti Circle office.)

I've fished Hessian lake over the past few yrs.. alot of smallies along the shoreline. Best best is to rent one of their boats and take to the lake. Most anglers head to the Northside near the rental cabins. Yes, Harriman State Park with it's 7 lakes. Lake Welch is popular with locals. fish the south side along a small roadway. avoid just south of the beach area. Davis Sports Shop, NY's answer to a downsized Bass Pro or Cabella's. Luv the place.

Give Askoti a try

Lake Askoti in Harriman State Park is very popular. Local anglers talk about the Bass in it.
