My friend and I are going camping this week at Milford. Anyone had any good luck there fishing off shore? Any good camp grounds I could get a heads up about? Any advice would be cool.

Thanks fellas!

I used to live up there. The mouth of school creek is usually good then head south of school creek on the west side of the lake there is a nice point. Then try the entrance to west rolling hills. If the bass fishing gets too tough tie on a bottom bouncer with a worm harness and youll catch a ton of hybrids

im a newbie. Bottom bouncer with worm harness?

Anyone can really answer that one... ^^^^^^

Bottom bouncer is a trolling weight with a wire arm out the bottom to keep it from snagging and a bent wire arm out the top to attach the worm harness. A worm harness is usually a double hooked spinner rig that you troll behind the bottom bouncer, it's a popular walleye rig. WBF is right that it will catch a ton of hybrids and every other species of fish out of Milford, if you have a boat to pull it behind. I would probably camp at the state park, it will be a little more expensive but you will have nicer facilities and you'll be on the north side of the lake, which means the wind will be blowing into the bank you're camping on. That should help with the bite with the extreme temps we have been having. The cove with the boat ramp for the state park has several good spots, in fact one of my PB 5lb smallmouth came out of that cove a couple years ago. The next cove over to the west of the boat ramp cove has one point that tapers slowly and then drops quickly into about 25 feet of water, I've caught limits of bass and walleye off that point. I've seen big catfish and lots of white bass and crappie caught out of both of those coves. Shouldn't be hard to bank fish either of them and I'm certain you will catch fish from that area if you put some effort into it. If you have any other questions you can feel free to PM me, I grew up in Manhattan and have fished Milford a lot.

Thanks Bluebasser, I just saw his reply and I miss understood the question I thought you meant off shore like not on the Bank. For bank fishing Bluebasser is right on point

Caught on Cooked Hotdog, and bobber about 3 feet off the hotdog in about 5 feet of water.
