Where and how to fish
Windy Point, Captain Kidd Point and the gravel around Steele Island are structure to study for bass. In spring, try jigs or minnows around cover in Bean and Big creeks for crappie. Summer catfish anglers can drift cut bait across flats. Check open-water schools when white bass or hybrids are the goal.
