May 21 south wind... Should be good near shore

With the south wind predicted to be 15 Kts or so I expect the deep colder water to up-well on shore by late afternoon

This should bring many fish into shallow water. [IMHO] No waves to speak of near shore should be the case too.

 

I personally plan on being off Sodus trolling east  by 1 pm and Expect to see some action close to shore [10 to 25ft]

 

Hope to see lots of company doing the same thing !

I hope your right.. I am planning on doing the same thing except we will be launching out of Oswego. We are making the Trip from Fort Drum so I hope it's worth it!!

Wind was out of the south @ 15 to 20 Kt but the lake in close was flat We boated one Brown about 10 Lbs

Launching was nasty with the wind right on shore at the launch

We didn't move a rod at all... we went out around 1:00pm

The strong south wind did bring up colder water , 46 degrees near shore, the Fish we hooked was in very shallow water between 8 and 10 feet deep.   We did note several small alewives on the surface that had been hit by some predator .

I think that "IF" the alewives [saw bellies] are returning we may have a good upturn in our fishery !
