I usually fish Collins on the backside but have caught some good sized bass by the boat launch weeds too. Sort of whatever you’re feeling, if you’re getting skunked just drive to the other side and try your luck :tbu
Here’s the DEC map, just click whatever region you wanna check out and read the descriptions they tell you whats stocked and what’s there.

Lake Lonely in Saratoga also has decent bass fishing and panfish everywhere. You can rent an aluminum boat with an electric motor from the [SIZE=7]Lake Lonely Boat Livery for ~$30.[/SIZE] It’s got plenty of juice for a long half day and the fishing is usually pretty good. Nice quiet lake most the time. There is some access to the lake from the shore but I’ve always got the boat when I’m up there.
