The island is great for kitties as well as Lincoln Beach. There are two problems, the first is it is like Lincoln Beach with lots of rocks which equate to snaggs. The other is it is like Lincoln Beach and can at times be combat fishing. LOTS OF PEOPLE!!
10 years ago I learned that there were other kinds of fish to fish for when I fished for the cats off of Sandy Beach. It was a little earlier in the year (about late April early May) and we got into the white bass. It was unbelieveable! First and only time I ever quit fishing because I was tired of catching fish. I ended up keeping 60+ white bass. Took forever to fillet! That wasn't even a fourth of the fish I caught personally. Used a Martin Panther, and those lures that look like a pice of metal bent in half. Ever catch anything on a back cast (other than a bush)? I just wish I could hit them like that again!
As far as drifing over a smooth bottom, that is where I'd go. I'd love to hear your method! Send me a line a line at tim@pcu.net and tell me how you do it. I've always just still fished the cats!
