in ctown pond, fish the channel as the breachway goes into the pond,early in the am before the boat traffic starts. use bucktail jigs, storm shads. the fish hang in the deep water and sprint onto the flats to feed and then head back to the channels. Tide does not matter much as long as you realize where the fish will set up on the moving water, fish the points down current.
Years back I fished this area a lot and caught a lot of fish. Most were small but there are monsters in there. I've seen them and I;ve caught decent fish there at night on eels from shore. Bring good sunglasses, sight fishing can be a blast when it gets lights. Have fun. I miss fishing there

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.

FishermanTim, do you find falling tide is better than rising or vice versa?

Cappucci, the hatch, even if it's probably over, is that more of a late afternoon / evening type thing or does it happen mornings too?

RIJimmy - Thanks for all of the tips, I'm guessing you're referring to the main channel straight back from the b-way and not the smaller channel that heads east toward the bridge? When you say smaller fish, should I throwing stuff under an ounce?

Thanks again for all of the advice. I checked Raven's calendar and it looks like the weekend is prime time. I'll post my results, thanks again!

yes, main channel from the bway back into the mouth of the pond. Weight depends on current, but 1/2 oz to 2 oz works - you want to get down to the bottom. look for rips and drop offs. The main channel where the boats go, along the banks is best. Also explore the flats, you can see the fish - sluggos or small top waters will work. Dont underestimate the size of the fish. There are big fish in there
