My question is can I catch quality size crackers in the Buzzard Rock Marina or do I need to leave the bay and go fish in the various bays that are nearby? I figure the fish will certainly be nesting in two weeks and the fishing should be pretty darn good. I've read finding mustard grass is key and finding gravel bars is another key to success. Not looking for anyone's honey holes at all, but would like to hear some general ideas of where I should be fishing for these crackers and big bluegills because it's a long drive from here and would like to make sure my four year old son catches some nice fish. Thanks, Troy.
