Might want to wait a week as the SE wind has filled this end with warm water driving most fish offshore. As soon as we get a west wind they should be moving right back into the the rivermouth.

Bucktail, I think the warm water plays much less of a role at this time of year. The fish are getting ready for their spawning runs and have only 1 thing on their mind. I think light penetration and water clarity are more important factors (eg. fish at night and work the mudlines for best success)

Im in oshawa and have seen a few out there. Not in any great numbers yet, but I think this cooler weather and the rains comin should really bring them in. All we need now is an offshore wind

As I mentioned in another Post I was out last night and they were jumping around like mad... I got a couple strikes but no hook ups... might even head out today...

Where is this pier exactly??? I would like to give it a try. Do you need a 10' plus rod for this? or will my 6'6" medium action do ok?

It's just RIGHT AT the river mouth. Nowhere special.

 

You do not need a 10'+ rod but longer rod than yours would help a lot. Remember, these are BIG fish.

I've personally have caught with my old 6'6" rod but thought it was gonna snap in two.

 

I think it would be a good idea for you to invest in a 8'6" ~ 10'0" Medium or Medium Heavy rod would be a great thing!

 

BUT! most importantly, especially when fishing from piers you really do need a large net with long long long handle bar. These piers are fairly high.
