Duster you need to not bring up all the honey holes or they'll get fished out!
I can't tell you how to catch fish over 6 pounds there, but I have had success crawling big green jigs along bottom under a slip bobber with sharp quick rod action. This makes the jig shoot up, and not toward shore when you give the lure some action. Hold on cause the odd big boy will take your drag for a ride!

access from the boat launch, walk west about 20 minutes to the dogleg in lake. fish the rock point in 30 feet for big browns. you may have to stick it out, but it can be worth it.
spoons, jigs, etc. often windswept, so bring your skates and a puck. fun.

I have gotten a 12 pound brown outta there in the open water season, it's at my taxidermist right now being mounted. But I have never ice fished it.
