No hijack from this fisherman - just the straight goods.....
I have spent lots of time there (not the last few years though).
A few observations:
1. You had better be fishing half an hour before sunrise. If you sleep in don't bother going.
2. Bite slows remarkably after abvout 9:30 or 10 A.M. and no bite during the day. Some bite just before dark but not as good as morning.
3. Fished in 40-50 ft with a small jig tipped with a minnow, kept it 2-3 ft off bottom and then used a small bobber in the hole. Move it then let it sit. Bite is usually soft.
4. Be prepared for the stinking wind when the sun comes up - we used to drive the truck on the backside of the tent.
5. Have caught 3-4 lakers in a day up to 20 inches, most are slinky but very tasty.
6. Have caught one brown, a mountain whitefish, some burbs and one pike also.
7. Driving up the lake can be very scary especially when there is floodwater or the ice is very clear - a quad is a btter idea.
8. Watch the boat ramp if there is a lot of wind - it can drift in very badly during the day and can be really hard to get back out when you are done fishing.
Have fun.
