Fishing from shore or small boat info?

[buckshot]

I was hoping to get out to oswego or fair haven this weekend. I only have a small fourteen foot boat. Would it be wiser to fish from shore rather than out in the lake. And if so is there fish to be caught off the break walls?

Thanks Buckshot(Ben)

Your 14' boat is fine if the wind is out of the south, southeast, east. The fish are moving to shore and a boat will allow you to cover more water. However I just returned from a trip to Mexico Bay where I fished from shore and went 6 for 7 on Brown's the largest going 6-7 lbs. Look for stained water where a creek enters the lake. I used Smithwicks and Storm Madflash in many colors. The fish are on the move so be patient, watch the surface for Browns. Use a 4-6 ft leader of flourocarbon.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info fishbandit. I may bring the boat and if it is to rough I will just fish from shore. Any special color lures working?
