Striking out stony point

[JTowne]

Can’t seem to connect with anything last few trips. Took my son out yesterday and we made sure all my lures were clean and that’s about it.  I’ve been out of it for a few years and since getting back in it’s been a struggle.  I know it used to be throw temp out the window this time of year - but the stacked stagers don’t care about anything I have.  So I went out chasing temp. Probe is showing warm water top to bottom basically.  We went through the trench, around the finger , untill we shot offshore to try and find temp, got a little better read but no action , marked another pile of them on bottom.   Lots of boats bouncing around the area , anyone having any luck ?  I’m trying to get my son into some fish I don’t really care what we catch.

 24’ boat, 4 riggers, 2x wire dipsey rods, 2x 300 copper rods, tried spoons, plugs , F/F , meat rigs /herring

I've been having the same results out of Fairhaven. Fish are there hugging the bottom in 95-115 but they're not biting, anything.

Same here out of Fairhaven.  Thinking about "Increasing The Hook Gap" on all the lures...:)

Been slow in Mexico too!

Very slow in Mexico. Maybe with the nice weather they have not all arrived.

going to try Wednesday evening and see if it picks up at all.

Very warm and slow fall out of Stony and Henderson.  Boats have been going far off shore to find better temps with intermittent results.  The staged kings in the trench have been there for over a month and will not move.

Where is the finger in relation to trench?

The struggle is real. Took a 2 hour drive to fish mexico bay. Fished 7-7 with zero results. Fished stacked up on the bottom in about 100' in front of little salmon. Would not hit anything. Cooler water temps heading west in front of power plant but did not change things. Couple lookers, no takers. Got to wash my spoons, FF's, and J plugs though. Lol. Probably my last trip for the year there. Not worth the drive. Good luck rest of the season all. Gonna fish brook trout until hunting season instead.

We fished Mexico last week. Got out Tuesday thru Friday. Were got skunked the first two days. Then Thursday boated 3 kings and 1 king on Friday. Those fish were caught between 40'-60' of water, down 20'-27'. Spoons on all four. Right in front of the river. Good luck. We'll be back next year.
