I fished out of Braddock Bay last week and we caught kings in 70-130 ft fishing riggers down 30-50 ft. Others boats were fishing the same depths and also having good success. But that was last Saturday and per previous things could have changes due to weather/winds this week. Good luck!

Did the walleye hit a spoon or a plug? How deep of water? That's a nice fish!! - Mr Kato

I Bay Fri Apr 28 Launched at State launch at I bay around 6:15 am and headed east towards Webster Park. trolled 8-20 fow with bombers, bay rat and small spoon. Water temp was 44-46. Could not find any warmer water. Only managed 1 steelie (3-4 lbs) on orange bomber just east of Webster park pier. Went back into I bay around 10am and and fished west side of bay north of the I Bay bridge and caught 1 brown (3-4 lbs) and 1 bass?? (silver bass? looked like a stripper). Called it a day around 11:30. Update, 04May2017: I posted a photo of the fish.

Used to fish the lake in a 16 ft deep V Four Winns. Not a problem as long as waves were in the 1-3 ft range. But that varies on the wind direction. If west or northwest, waves have more or a roll to them. If east/northeast, the waves get real choppy/sloppy. As everyone else said, you have to keep an eye on the weather/wind/wave forecasts but they are not always accurate. Listen to hourly reports on the weather radio where the wind direction and speed are usually given for Olcott, Wilson, Oswego and sometimes port of Rochester. And winds inland versus what's happening on the lake can be very different. Sometimes better/sometimes worse.I can remember days being at the launch in Braddock Bay with no wind yet only a 1/4 to 1/2 mile away on the lake the winds were blowing with white caps on the lake. - Mr Kato
