I can't speak to West Harbor as I've never been there. And my experience in East Harbor is 10+ years old and during the summer. That said, I was fishing with wax worms from the shore at East Harbor State Park and all I was catching was Gobies.

Like I said, take all of this with a grain of salt as it's been such a long time, but I can't imagine the Gobies are any thinner in there now than they were 10 years ago. If you have a spot that works just keep at it. I love getting into a mess of gills myself. Some of the most fun I had growing up was running around Alligator Dock I on Lake Cumberland catching bluegills and taking them to my dad's friend's mother who was filleting them on the deck of their houseboat, rolling them in Bisquick batter and deep frying them for us to eat as we fished.

Good luck and be safe!
