rowyourboat Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Hey guys. I'm thinking of going up for a weekend and I was trying to get some help. I don't get any vacation days for work. So I'll only get Saturday and a little while Sunday. But id like to stay in the bay because this is my first trip. Any tips for locations in the bay. Or baits. Or anything in general Not trying to steal anyone's secret spots or win a tournament. just want to make the best of my short trip. Thank you Quote
z7master167 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Lol no secret spots on the bay, fish the flat in front of the monument, senkos, flukes, spinnerbaits, ratl traps, 1.5 square bills, tubes, basically anything will work when theyre on the flat Quote
rowyourboat Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 I just hope we have a good time. I'd settle for 20 fish around 2-3 pounds haha Quote
z7master167 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I went last year for the 1st time and it was june 20th for 3 days, we caught roughly 250 fish on friday all avereages 2.5-3lbs it got to the point of where we was using something that was easy to unhook them. The next 2 days were tougher but there was 30+ mph winds and about the only thing you could throw was a rat l trap Quote

I can tell you the fishing from Barcelona harbor east for 5 miles is terrible. I changed my trip from PIB to Western NY last minute. Its like 5 miles of dead sea in that area, even tho it looks like perfect habitat. As for PIB, i have read 100's of posts and write ups of how great it is and 100+ fish days. However, that has not been my experience after 7 days last year and another 4 days on Erie this year in June. Guess i just hit it at the wrong time. Quote
