Hello, my name is Scott and I'm new to the forum and would like to thank Openfire for this thread. I fish the piers near Rochester and would love to fish the Port Credit pier it looks good. The reason I'm posting is because I ended up losing a monster king salmon off of the Summerville pier in late October. Unfortunately that night I had no one with me and NO ONE was out fishing. I brought my fishing net with me and battled the king for about 20 minutes before he finally pulled the hook before I could net him. Lets just say I was completely devastated that I couldn't net him and no one could help me I wanted to quit pier fishing altogether.

In my neck of the woods we still have kings coming through all the way into early November. Problem is very few people fish past late September-mid October around here. It just angers me that the fishing can be really good later on and the trout pick up as well but hardly anyone is out fishing off the pier at this time. It seems a lot of these people that fish for salmon off piers aren't really fishermen at all and are more like clowns that don't know what they are doing (no nets, using snoopy poles ect) and its a shame. As soon as the temperature goes below 60 degrees they stop coming cause it gets too cold for them LOL!

I'm wondering do you guys get anyone out fishing this late in the year off Port Credit? I would think you guys could at least get some nice trout later on I'm not sure about kings though. Anyways I hope you guys can endure temperatures under 60 degrees better than us tough guys in upstate NY!
