Any Western New York Fishers?
I'm new to Fishing for few weeks with no catches.
Places: Foot of Ferry, Sqaw Island, Black Rock
Lures: Plastic Grubs, Swimbait, Live Night Crawlers/Worms
Times: Early Mornings (5-12), Evenings (6-9)
Method: Shore (No Boat or Boating Card) Working on It.
QUESTIONS:
Are there any other hotspots in the area doing well this year?
I'm planning on trying Niawana Park this weekend. Any one ever fish there
with any results?
I've never tried tube jigs: Hear they're good for bass, crappie. I think I'll also
try this.
Great Forum!

weather conditions and moon cycles play a factor as well.
if your looking for cats, you need to fish about an hour and a half later.
they do bite most any time of the day, but I find the cats bite best from dusk to an hour or two after dark.
spinner baits work great from shore and in the shallows. Rooster Tails is one of my favorites.
Hello, I ain't from new York but I see people quite often in your predicament.
I hate to sound like a rep but honestly strike king bitsy minnows work wonders. I stay with the chartreuse back or gizzard Shad because its a more subtle presentation without the bold black back most the other bitsy minnows.
Another good option is a Rebel super teeny wee R in Shad or bass, they can often be found in bonanza boxes at Walmart for $1.50, otherwise the bitsy minnow and the super teeny wee R are around $4 each. If you have a medium-heavy rod the lupus can really be busted from the lures so be easy if you try one of these small cranks.
I just let them sit and float until water calms unless something his it first of course and then twitch it around a bit before I vary my retrieves till I find what works.
If I was going to splurge any money in an area, it would be descent polarized glasses.
Good Luck. :-)

Cool. I'm headed to Dunkirk Harbor Pier. Anyone fish there lately? What's it delivering, ? Good lures? Sinker size suggestions? I've never been before, how deeps water? Is this the main fishing spot in Dunkirk?
