Fished east side Saturday and ended up with 15 eyes, 3 SM, a northern and a few huge Sunnies. Most of the eyes were caught on Jigs. Water temp was 63 and water clarity is variable. Fairly clean in the lake but the creeks have been flowing pretty good so its a little cloudy at the inflows.

++ Pap......looks like the best deal going!

You got that right. I just checked it out, It must be the most expensive KOA in America, LOL. Well maybe next to Aspen KOA if there is such a thing. What a Joke! For another option try Westcott State Park. That would be cheap (pitch a tent) and its only another 4 miles further than association Island. You can buy a lot of gas for that price difference!

Tried fishing BRB on Sunday. Wind was too much for my boat but I did manage to get to the north side for about a 1/2 hour troll before the west winds forced me back off. Water temp dropped like crazy with the north winds and mid 30's nightly temps. North side of the bay was 50 deg and South was 52. Crossing fingers for this weekend but looks like its warming up good tomorrow -Sunday.

FleetTracker Nice fish there. Were you in Black River Bay or out of Stoney Point?

WM Thanks for the Info.

Solo fished BRB late morning till 6pm Sunday and got a big fat "0". Water temp is 58-60 on the north side of the bay. The Alewives are there in full force now, bait all over the place in the Northern half of the bay. I trolled Deep Taildancer 11's, Trolls-To 15's and 20's and deep Reef runners varying speeds from 1-2.5mph. I figured the bite would be pretty good with the great cloud cover and a little chop but I figured wrong. I couldn't start till 10am though, perhaps they were cooperative early morning.

All Fished BRB today. Surface temp was 58 on south side, 64 on north side. Strong thermocline at 11 ft with temperature dropping to 49 from that point down to bottom. Trolled north side from about half way out of the bay to Everleigh at various depths and only picked up one Northern. There is a little bit of bait showing up here and there in 50FOW but still not much. Also, there were a few decent marks starting to show on the graph at various depths (20-40). Probably needs another week or so. ???

LC True, things can change fast. The situation I posted from last weekend could potentially be reversed 100% this weekend. Just posted what I witnessed and that was pretty much a sterile situation. We will see!

All I made an "electronics only" scouting run Saturday to BRB and Sunday to Chaumont/Guffin bay. Regarding Chaumont/Guffin, no baitfish schools to be found at all, and therefore very little fish to be found. Regarding BRB there were "Very few" baitfish schools found and very few fish as well. Most of the fish must be in either less than 8FOW, in the rivers or still out in the main lake. I spent 7 hours each day looking with Side Imaging 2D sonar and Marcum camera. Chaumont search was done from Shangri La and inshore. Black River Bay search was done from Everliegh/Horse island and inshore. Not much going on out there yet as of this past weekend! Also, the bugs were absolutely terrible. Surface temps 51 deg., temp at 50FOW 43 deg.
