Perch
fishing a drop shot in 20-30 feet is a good way to find bigger fish in the summer. I use my 2d sonar to find either schools of bait most likely perch or Kokanee or fish areas out side spawning pockets in that depth. Sometimes just a do nothing bait on a dropshot like a trd can get pressured bass to eat.

fishing the chain lakes with a swim jig is always a good place to start and find fish. you can switch around with trailers but a craw is usually best for me. water in the mid to upper 60's .
