Well kind of ditto as the 1st post.My buddy fished south peir today caught 4 whitefish.He said that he was too late getting there for the brown trout.They were hitting this morning on steelhead spawn then the whitefish moved in along with a few large steelhead and cohos.He also said its kinda tuff tredging through the 2feet of going out to the end of the peir.Its only supposed to get better in the next couple weeks to a month or so.Too bad I cant get there.

I was there Sunday. There were about 20 guys out fishing and I saw two steelies, four browns and maybe five whitefish from 10:30-6:00. Pretty slow day for everyone. I'll be back in a couple of weeks when things pick up.

Zob Bob,

Did you see a group of guys w/ a lovable Golden Retriever that didn't catch any fish either? If so that was me and my dog Tip-Up. You'll probably see us quite a bit out there if you fish downstate much.

As for the reports it's awful slow right now-only to get better...I Hope!

I saw about 1000 people walking the pier. Where were you? I started out mid-way doing one rod river, one rod lake and worked my way down to the end by dusk.

I was with a buddy of mine.

I started fishing at about 1:00, and fished until 5 ish. Just past the break on the South Pier. We mainly fished the river.

I think I did actually. I was down at the end towards dusk. There were only about six of us left it was so slow. Is he from Brighton? I remember talking to a guy a while who drove all the way from Brighton... man, that guy sounds as crazy as I am.
