The north end of Meredith Bay is usually quiet because a large part of the bay is a NWZ. But that may not be convenient or useful information if you're launching in Alton Bay or Green's Basin. Are you fishing deep or shallow, shady spots near shore? More detail will get you more useful answers.

Thanks Descant,
Our slip is at Quayside, Long Island bridge, and we will be smallmouth first, salmon/trout second. From the maps the backside area of Long Island looks like a ton of smallmouth territory and protected well from wind. Many spots look protected from wakes due to all of the rocks too

I am hoping to be able to try the salmon troll on the other side of Lo g Island and/or fish smallies around forty islands e.t.c. and be able to make it back to the barn safely. We will be starting pre-dawn looking to get 4 to 5 hours in. Also will try to get in evening hours too. Long Island bridge area looks like it has the most options, but how is it when the wind is dead westerly?
