I am going out for the first time on New Croton on sunday and will be launching from area 27. Can anyone give my any tips for fishing on New Croton?


Thank you.

Thank you.

I have a boat on Area 25 and I'd probably plan on t-rigged plastics in the shallower areas, square-billed crankbaits over any weeds or wood,  spinnerbaits and then the kitchen sink. If you go near any underpasses with rocky shoreline I'd work around the edges. I've never really tried the  middle deeper waters, usually look for weed edges and cover in the 12 ft and lower depths. Maybe go deep with a jig or t-rigged plastic if it's by a structure like the bridge pylons.

Good Luck,
Vinny

I have a boat there, but haven't fished it in a while. Have seen trout caught on the other side of the bridge. As Vinny said , fish teh rocky structure around the bridge. Watch out for the tiger muskies!

Thanks guys !!! I will put those tips to good use, I wouldn't mind catching a tiger musky lol. Are they caught frequently there?
