We do an annual trip to Waterbury in mid july. Can't keep the fish off, but 20-30 lbers are always caught by someone, nothing over 30 though in a few years. I'm not sure if any one particular rig catches bigger fish than others....
We use a 4 oz banana weight on a 3 way swivel. About 150-200 feet of line out. a 6-8 foot flouro leader to a variety of different hooks. 4-8" flashy spoons mostly like a red devil, a willams wabbler, or apex. This gets you to 50' or so give or take. I didn't make it last year, but I will be trying new techniques this year. A dispy diver, a flasher stick and spin-n-glos, bondy baits and buzz bombs. We RARELY jig, mostly troll around 1.5-2 mph.
