Interesting - I saw lots of boats very far into coves and assumed I needed to be really shallow - seems like I should be backing off a bit fishing from deeper water into shallow water.

I've been to Ti a few times now and I just can't seem to crack this place. I see/hear about 20+ bags and for whatever reason I just can't seem to find them. I fished from down by the "piles" below the fort to about 1.5 miles from Crown Point bridge and only caught 2 good fish. Spoke to some of my friends who were up there the same weekend and they did well. We all threw the same baits, white/chartreuse chatterbait, flipped dark colored creatures, black worms/senkos. I've read its all about finding the "right weeds," so I spent a lot of time working what looked like good weed beds on NY and VT shores. Are the successful guys staying away from weed beds that are in completely milky/chocolate water and fishing the weed beds with slightly more visibility? Do I need to just be more patient? How do you guys do on topwater there? Not asking for anyone's favorite spot/hole...just a little guidance on what to look for down there. If I was in a pickerel/pike tournament I for sure would've been top 5 - but I could not get on 'em the past couple of times I've been!
