so did this little experiment ever work out? i uesed to fish it with my dad many years ago, and have thought about giving it a try again.

We had a great weekend, could have been better fishin, but we learned a ton. We stayed at Fisherman’s Warf and they did a great job. Very nice facility and the regular’s with the permanent spots were very helpfull wiht their own hotspots. Treavor if you read this shoot me a PM, I would like to talk about the open spot on the marina. Can’t wait to go back!

I know this is going to sound really old, but my x-father in law used to throw a black mister twister tail on a black head with the yellow eye and woop my tail every time. i would never give him the satisfaction of trying it. i had a tackle box with all kinds of raps, jigs, tubes and he would always kill me with catching more fish then I would with a stupid old mister twister tail and a black jig head. Best part of the divorce is I now own a crap load of black tails and black jig heads, and he has no idea…

good luck

I haven’t stayed at the Red Door YET…, but i have got to say from all of the posts i have been reading and people i have talked to around Rochester they have my vote for next years trip. I am very impressed with all of the help they have given everyone on this forum with everything from fishing reports to suggestions, I believe they would take very good care of any size group. Good luck and i hope it all works out for you guys.

“shoot me a PM with your contact info and I’ll let you know what I figure out”

I’ll get it to you, good luck can’t wait to hear the report. Good luck! Fishin with the southerners huh, they must be comin up for the fresh air.

thanks chomps we are looking forward to watching the bobbers drop friday afternoon and night on the southend and then trying the flats all day saturday. from the looks of this map we aren’t going to even make a dent, but then we will have the “excuse” of going back to figure out the rest later.

just bought a hot spot map and have another older map. thanks for the advice, i have been reading a lot of posts on here from this year and years past for the last few nights and talked to a guy from gander mountain in rochester tonight who had some good insight on the south end rock piles for me tonight. he gave me a few good spots that they worked and had luck recently. this has really been a great sight for info, and look forward to talkin with everyone more about other spots and sharin our good luck too.

STEVE,
YOU WERE RIGHT, I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS A LONG TIME AGO. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT, AND I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING. WE WILL DEFINATELY TAKE PHOTOS AND REPORT BACK. IT ISN’T TILL NEXT FRIDAY BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING.

Looking at all the mud flats on this map and wondering if there are any i should cross off the map to not bother with. I am sure it is like anything else, turn and burn… if they are not biting keep moving.

thanks, we have no kids and no wives with so it is going to be a relaxing/ working 3 days. I am just hoping to focus on putting fish in the live well. perch fry saturday night sounds great too.
