We checked a 5 hook trotline this afternoon and had a couple small channels on. The northens are also hitting the lines but turned them back. Both the northerns and smallies are hitting really well on rocky shorlines too. We think it will last for the next couple weeks, then after that it will be crappies and northerns in the deep water with snags befor ice comes. I don’t have the time but if a guy threw against the shoreline with big plugs or spinners 6″ or bigger I think he’d get some of the nicer northerns, theres never enough time, sometimes.
