If you're going to Newburgh, you had better go with Justin. I have talked to two CO's in the last couple of days, one checking people and the other fishing and talked to a guy at work that usually wears them out and all of them said the same thing...SLOW.

Everyone is fishing it wrong right now. Everyone is sitting against the wall or drifting the 1st gate at a angle into the 2nd. If I do either I catch one or two all day. I've been fishing the 5th and last gate. Also been using 3-5" river minnows. They aren't hitting smaller 1-3" store boughts. They aren't shallow right now. You need to be in 40'+. Good luck.
