Try casting shiver minnows. Did that for the first time the other day. Hadn't caught a fish all day. Two hours with shivers and had our limit. It was crazy.
I don't think casting shiver minnows at the Hesket station would be a good idea. You would end up a poor man doing that.

Jaykay mentioned waders in the Bis/Man area, I'm assuming he's talking about the Hesket Station.

Tell me more about these shiver minnows. I always have room in my tackle box for one more - and I'm a sucker...

Yes Sir. No big secret. This fall I sure haven't had to elbow my way through the crowds. Maybe I should count my blessings.

And no, it wouldn't kill me to give the fish a break every few years. But I look forward to this time of the year, and this kind of fishing, so much. I don't know what this shiver minnow is, but if it goes deeper than 3 ft, it's going to be an exercise in frustration.

To sum up what I'm reading here, I either gotta let it go, or just be patient. Given the bright sunny 60+ degree days, I guess I have to be more patient.

Thanks all.

I heard rumors of shad in the Beaver Bay area. Could be all the food is keeping them south.

My scientific test to see if fish are at Heskit. Walk down to the inlet Throw a worm or minnow on the bottom. Drink three beers. If you catch start casting. If not start over.

Things are later this year for sure. I'd say at least 2 weeks later than the last couple years.

Man are they getting good at charging a whole lot for somthing that costs them less then a doller.

I don't think it would be less than a dollar but probably not far from it. They work great when you use it right. If used at Heskett, you could just start throwing $10 bills in the water.
