Struggled this weekend

[jf5]

Fished from shore at Selkirk Shores and Mexio point, plus the salmon river. Couldn't catch a singe decent fish all weekend long.

Has the water gotten to warm for shoreline browns??

From what I heard this weekend in Mexico Bay the south wind Friday night took all the color away. I had heard they smoked them friday, and it was everyyhing they could do to generate a bite on Saturday. With the lake blowing northwest this week hopefully it will set back up again with some color.

In that case where the water is clear dont hesitate to move out to some depper water maybe 30 to 40 and put your rigs on the bottom. A lot of times BT's will slide out a bit when the shore water is Gin Clear.

Thanks for the tip but I am fishing from shore, not a boat.

I did my shakedown run this weekend and tried a few things. I did notice that the surface temp along the shoreline from the LSR up to the Salmon River in about 10 FOW didn't fluctuate much and was in the 55-57 degree range. I know you say you are fishing from shore, but I can't see the temp being that much different. Hope things turn around for us this coming weekend!

I hope so too. I am supposed to be up there for 3 days this weekend with a friend. Considering a cancellation to save me the $$ and 5 hour drive.

With the sunny warm up on the forecast...not looking good.

When I hit that area last week, not too much temp fluctuation either, but as whole, south winds really brought the temps up. I could not find anything about 49-50 last week.

49 degrees and green water is prime from my what my previous logs are telling me. might be time for the downriggers.

Definitely keep your stuff on the bottom. You should be finding them tight to shore early, then they move out a little.

Thanks for the input guys. Looks like I waited too long to head up.

If it were me and I was shore fishing the hotel side of the Oswego should still be holding fish.....
