Looking for advice on where to catch any kind of fish within the confines of the break wall or near round house. I volunteer for Excalibur Leisure Skills Center. Please see website for what we do. Taking some very sick kids out tomorrow AM. Leave Safe Harbor Marina for 2 hour trips. May be their last trip. Would like to have them catch some fish and smile. All fish are released. I will only share your advice with our captains. PM if you want to keep secret spots.

If the wind is ok try along the outside of the break wall esp by the north and middle gaps. Can also try the wall by the lighthouse. Drifting by the round house can be good at times.

Middle gap with crabs.
The smallies will cooperate for the kids.

South gap near the grain elevators has a few walleyes along with small perch and sheephead. North gap around the ends of the jetties are good for bass. Crabs and nightcrawler drifted along the bottom should keep them busy.

Thanks for the intel gentlemen. We can only drift fish, so middle gap was not on option. Boat is 30 ft. Thank you trollers and long liners for going way around us. We fished in front of Cargill elevator. Got smiles ( that's our pay ) also dances, screaming, fist bumps and high fives. Got sheapshead, walleye, perch, white perch and rock bass. Kids had a great day. This was a Make A Wish Event. Family was from out of state. They will remember Buffalo's hospitality. Thanks again and FISH ON!! Tried to post pictures but could not make it work. HELP

If you guys are not familiar with Excalibur, they do an awesome job. I have been at the SBH in the past when they have come in and to see those kids almost inside out with smiles is heart warming. Great organization to support with a few bucks either individually or for you sportsman's club.

This is the best post I have seen in a long time!
To the OP, thank you for volunteering your time for this! I am sure it rewarding, but it can’t be easy. The kids seem to really enjoy it, and that’s what counts! Just great to see people sharing the love.
