I think the other problem is Sandy drains a ton of farm land you can put all the perfect gravel in place and 3 years later it will have that same mud. Almost every river , stream , ditch creek on the south shore drains farm land, and that means dirt, mud. Maybe some of the far east end streams stand a chance , but anything draining farm land will just sit in fast.

I agree with Rick on his suggestion I got a p66 and it is perfect for trolling and I was impressed last week I used it perch fishing and it did a pretty good job of picking them up even when they were pretty tight to the bottom. I was a little worried about not having chirp but the p66 did just fine for me . I had to do a little adjusting to switch from trolling to perch fishing but it did a nice job for sure. Way way better than the original transducer that came with my unit. Again thank you Rick for your help with it.

if you have a Minn Kota motor check the 3 amp fuse ..this video shows it ..mine blows from time to time and when it does I cant run my motor and depth finder at the same time

I think one reason you see it more from the oak than other ports is we seem to have a great late summer offshore fishery. Some years we have good fishing inshore but on years with crazy winds we spend most of later summer offshore. Alos the lake bottom seems to flatten out and not change as fast once you get to 300 fow. So the north lines seem easier. that's just my take on it. I have fished up and down the lake shore, but live right here at the oak so maybe I am biased but this area seems to have the best summer offshore fishing on Lake ontario. From here to rochester seems like the prime area in summer.

how is the lake out there with this southwind?

Way better catch then salmon this time of year Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It's all caused by wind moving the water , so that's current.. all you have to do is go out the few days after when it's all getting straighted out and put a probe out troll all different directions with out changing your speed over ground and you will see how much the water is moving to be tit back to the normal temps Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes it is kind of a flip . That cold water was down deep because no where on the lake when the wind stops blowing this time of year is 44 degrees so that cold water that's now on top at he shore sure came from under some place ..so the term flip is kind of right ..yes the entire lake does not get turned up side down ..but it forces cold water that once was down deep to be on the surface. And I have seen it before when it's first happening that close to shore the surface is colder than the down temp . It can last long that way. It it happens.
