I was there yesterday. Same thing. I felt like a complete newbie. A couple of long line releases and an old Chum to the bank. That was it.

However ....... it seems that if you set your float to twice the water depth and have a 6 foot leaders, you seem to "catch" fish. They are big purple and green Chum or dark grey Springs. Apparently, they are good eating?

This section for fishing reports, not for constant bashing of newbies who don't know better. There's no need to keep repeating that people are keeping undesirable fish or fishing unethically. If you want to whine, that's what this section (http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/index.php?board=19.0) is for.
