I was also out there all day Saturday fishing. We trolled for a little while only catching a couple small cutts.
We tried vertical jigging near the east shore east and a little north of the main marina. We were marking fish all over the place, down 15 feet, 35-40 feet, and sometimes down at 50 or so feet. They were thick down there at times, but we never could get a single hit.
We were hoping to find Kokanees, and the ones down 35-50 feet we thought might be them (we were in 84 feet of water), but they may have been cutts.
We vertical jigged kastmasters, spinners, jakes, and several other lures tipped with smelly jelly with absolutely no luck.
It might have been technique (I've never vertical jigged before). It might have been location. It might have been time of day. All I know is, they were not biting. We did end up with 2 hits that never stuck and that was it.
Any ideas what we did wrong?
