I am shore bound this year.
I fish the catskill park by port of call and various spots in the creek in town.
The river side has one heck of a tide to work against at the park, I think my rig is getting dragged into a big rock and not presenting well.
You can fish the creek mouth at the park during those heavier currents.
I usually use slider rigs or use 3 ways swivels, either case on 24-36" leaders, usually 5/0 or 7/0 hooks, and 2-6oz pyramid sinkers. I put on chunk, then when I get a few live herring, I put those out and hook them in the nose.
Is there any general advice on whether the creek mouth or river edge is better at any times or tides. What about early versus late season advice too.
There is no catskill creek map anymore, atleast since Irene changed things around.
Also, I picked up a scaup net. The only one I could get was not dyed 4x4' and 1/4 nylon mesh. The white net going to reduce my chances of netting a good bit or not.
