Points
Trolling for saugeye, and whatever would bite recently at Cowan Lake, focused on major points and mid lake humps. Started with bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses and caught saugeye, crappie, catfish, and bluegill. Switched to crankbaits later in the day and caught the same species, plus a nice 18.5" largemouth on the Rapala DT-6 in about 10 feet of water on the breakline. This is after several bass boats had attempted to pick apart the same point. The DT6 catches fish, period. I like the larger versions on Lake Erie too BTW, I think I had an extra in Perch color so gave it a shot (close enough to a bluegill/bass pattern), even though no perch in the lake (I think?).
