We fished all last weekend - really cold - water temp was 39-40. We caught one salmon all weekend.
Dock fishing is GREAT on the bay - usually. For salmon and rainbows, early season when the water temp gets up to at least 45, shiners and night crawlers work well. Bobber on top, with a sliding egg sinker behind that can keep the bobber in place during the windy spells.
When the temps get warmer, white perch can be had with the same method, with or without a bobber. We generally go without the bobber and inject air into the worm to get it to float up from the bottom a bit. Rainbows and salmon are caught throughout this time as well.
Good luck!
