there might be somewhere to launch right at the bridge. i know people fish for eyes. under/downstream of the bridge...bring some real heavy bells sinkers and 3 way swivels though...

[redneck666]

bells sinkers?

 

what are the 3 ways for? lol i was plannin on usin harnesses and crank bait and jigs.

[Guest ThisPlaceSucks]

i just meant if you fished near the bridge. the current is real heavy right at the bridge...harnesses/cranks don't get down very deep because of the high current

[redneck666]

ohhh lol bell sinkers, i'll have to buy some heavier ones.... still, about the 3 ways...?

[redneck666]

okay, uhh, what would you rig onto the swivels?

[Dara]

Tie your line to one eye of the 3 way. Tie a hook on about 1 metre of line to another eye of the 3 way.

Tie the bell sinker with about 30 cm of line to the last eye. Just a worm on the hook so it is stretched out. Bounce the sinker on bottom under the bridge. You gotta have a stMarys river anchor to anchor there or you will likely be leaving it stuck in the rocks.

If you have a little boat that you can lift, you can put it in at that little park right at the bridge, otherwise, if you have to launch, its $5 at Richards landing marina.

If the pearch bite the end of your worm off, you gotta put a new one on. The only way to get the eyes under the bridge is a full worm and no jewelry with it.

 

So I been told.

At night from shore, a Rapala will work

ya i've been told that too, anyhow thanks for the info!
