We were out away from the crowds across the lake near the garnet area.
Found like most years at this time they tend to chase but really hit on or near the bottom with a slight bounce kinda like fishing finicky walleye.
I put a number two Len Thompson on and really worked the water columns then once I got chasers that wanted nothing but that just to chase I dropped a white tube down and played near the bottom for hook ups.
Got them worked up with the spoon then slowed it down with the tube and it seemed to work.
I find if you can get more than one worked up eventually one will bite, kinda like a predator feeding frenzy.
Who knows what they want the next day?
Some days I wonder though and move, change tackle just to go back to my original spot and have an hour of good fishing.
Or the dead stick is killing with a 8 inch herring laying on the bottom popped full of holes to let the scents out.
That burb must have been awesome, poor man’s lobster!
At least you had good weather.
