[cool][#0000ff]Welcome aboard.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If you are trying to avoid having to pay the entrance fee, the SW corner is a good spot. Usually pretty good fishing for cats and wipers...and they come in close enough that you can reach them with average casting ability. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I like to drive all the way around to the NW corner (on those nasty roads). A bit deeper water closer to the rocks and almost always good kitty action. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The spawn is still going on, due to the late spring. But there are lots of cats coming into the rocks both to spawn and to feed. However, you will usually have easier fishing by lobbing your bait out a few feet from the rocks. Fewer snags too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I do not use weight. Cast out a minnow, piece of carp meat, hot dog or crawler. Let it sink naturally to the bottom and leave your bail open on the reel. When a fish picks it up, let them run and then whack them.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]When the fish are in close to the rocks soak your bait about 3 feet under a bobber close to the rocks. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You can also access the north dike (with only a $3 fee) near the main entrance to the north marina. Lots of good fishing for a long ways up the dikes.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Good luck.[/#0000ff]
