This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

You want to be fishing in shallow waters close to shore with huge baits as the Pike try and corral baitfish schools against the shorelines.
Do you mean the dyke on the west side of the bay?
