Water looked ok for this time of the year.
Fished with 2 other buddies for a total of 5 or so hours, early, late and at night....no one caught a thing.
Not even a dink SMB or Rock bass.

Time to take up golf.

Try going back in late October and watch what happens.. the river will be alive with SMB and walleyes.. Up here in the NY section of the river there is very poor fishing in summer.. You can tell because there is never a single fisherman out there, even near the towns and cities.. You can fish all day long and never get a touch sometimes even with live bait.. Personally I don't fish the river until October.. It sucks, I live 15 minutes from it, and can only catch fish there in April/May and then Oct/Nov... I think the river is just alive with food in the warm weather, and the fish are very well fed.. The Mayfly hatches all summer are intense every night, and small young of the year fish swarm ...

I have lived here since 1991, and have been very disappointed in the Susky.. Fishing can be intense for a few weeks in spring and fall, but late spring through early fall it can be poor in the extreme.. All you need to do is look around. When fish are around , there are people fishing for them.. The susky is devoid of anglers for months at a time... bob
