One of my favorite ways to fish that side is to swing in close to the dike when I'm doing S-curves. The bugs were so bad I didn't dare put my wife through that.
In retrospect, I spent way too much time out west. The bugs weren't bad at all on the east side, and I think the water clarity was better, too. I caught my first fish 0.7 miles out of the north marina and my last couple in the same area.
We're all guilty of searching a bit too much. I still do. But I do try to do several passes over areas that I catch fish. Those 2 eyes we did catch on the west side, I did 2 more passes over that same area before leaving. Likewise in Freeway, kept doing loops through the same areas and kept catching fish.
