Wes,
Ah.... the secret is out! Sculpin are a favorite Cutt food... Recommend
tying a Marabou Muddler Minnow (sizes 6 - 10) in dark olive brown tones and
a cream/dark cream body... Tie it heavily weighted and upside down. Fish
it right on the rocks to short quick 6" - 8'" strips. It's a killer! A
floating line will get down on the rocks at Purdy or Kopachuck. The west
side of Fosdick will have you using a intermediate to type 3 (depending on
the tide swing).
Don't forget about them Perch fry... The Christmas Tree (sizes 6 - 10) is
an excellent pattern for Perch fry.
Crabs...uh... never tried them but, I think an experiment is in order...
