Just not a lot of spots to fish from shore around here, most all shoreline access is private. And even then, the fish are only heavily congregated along the shoreline in the Spring/Fall (primarily in the Spring). It is what it is.
That's unfortunate! I would recommend using a combo of Google Maps to find public parks on the water, and Navionics (they have free online sonar charts) to find steep drop-offs near the shoreline of those parks. I've had some success with that.
