There's really no such thing as a 'hot spot'. You have to put in your time and learn the water you are fishing. Certain waters may be better at certain tmes of the year, but even then, there is no guarantee.
I am a big fan of Wabamun and I would recommend you spend some time exploring and learning the lake and its structure. There are lots of hammer handles in there as well as lots of monsters
Good luck,
