Well, were back from the the lake. It was absolutely beautiful!! Very little cottages, and low boat traffic.
Water temps were mostly 45-48. Really tried hard in the shallows but couldn’t get anything to go.
We casted jigs, live bait & crank baits in a bunch of different 5-15′ areas, some had good current in neck down areas.
We were near 2 of the main spawning areas for the lake. We could only find fish in the 20-30′ foot range.
We got some major weather on Sunday, so after being blown of the water for most of Sunday we had to get out and couldn’t control the boat to jig properly so we trolled.
I don’t think we really located where they were holding. We managed 5 or 6 jigging in 20′-25′ of water but most of our fish came trolling the 25′ to 30′ depth down shore lines.
I”m sure the fish we picked up trolling were migrating to/from the spawning area.
Thanks for the tips!
