Default Shore Fishing at Pigeon - Not Good, Suggestions?

So a couple weeks back a friend and I tried fishing from the Prov Park dock and retaining wall area. We went in the mid afternoon and stayed 3 or 4 hours. We used everything: yellow jigs, spoons, pickerel rigs, baited with dew worms and minnows, and we didn't get a single bite!

Have other people recently had good luck fishing this area? If not, is there another decent (and easily accessible) place to shore fish at Pigeon?

Thanks!

I have fished that exact spot and have never been skunked. Its all about bright colored jig head tipped with a minnow under a slip bobber.

Yep I dont know if you didnt have your hook in the water because 3 weeks back I was catching them every cast , anvil , and redneck posse can atest to this . I dont know why you didnt catch anything Ither you werent deep enough or to deep . You want about 1 1/2 to 3 feet of line from your bobber . You gotta work it a bit. Also spoons work well . Anyway dont be scared get out there agian the evening bite has been deadly ..........

Cool BBJ I got a few PMs from Redneck and he said you guys are coming out tomorrow Saturday around 3pm. I will be there for around lunch time noon or so armed with all my stuff and a few tubs of minnows. Hope to see you guys there should be a really good day with some cloud cover in the forecast.
