Update:
Took to some more shoreline fishing yesterday in the evening just before sundown. Beachwood Park again.
From the looks of things the Shad run has moved on at the moment. The rockfish are still not in the area. But fun little species has moved in.
The Chain Pickeral are biting.
I have one of those hummingbird casting sonar RSS floats with the mobile read station. I threw that out with a line and hook baited with a simple nightcrawler yesterday. Caught 3 Pickeral on WORMS!!! The Pearch are still off and on there.
I have decent luck with that sonar device as a bobber when I'm fishing that way. I'll gust bait a hook leading to it, cast it out and reel very slow untill the fish alarm goes off. Pause it for a minute or 2 in that spot and if nothing bites reel some more. Strike on allota casts that way. Those hummingbird casting Sonar are great for when your shore fishing especially if you don't know the contor of the bottom of the water. I like to use 20lb braid from the rod to the wireless float and 20lb florocarbon from the float to the hook. Produces real well for float style bait fishing in this area.
