Use your Electronics to locate mid lake rock pile humps with fish on them. Vertical Jig the Rapala Jigging Rap on and around the hump. Use a short snapping jig stroke. I like to use a snap swivel at the bait and tie a 5 foot piece of mono to the fireline but you can use a small swivel to connect the line also. Check the last few feet of line often for nicks in your line an knots. Good Luck!

Minnows
Mid - June is a great time to pull spinners along the wind blown shorelines, troll at .75 - 1.25 mph. get out away from the boat start with a 1/8 oz sinker. use your electronics to locate the fish, they are normally in 5' - 15' of water. Use a crawler or cut the back hook off and use a leach or minnow. The fish are normally feeding on minnows or bugs. when you feel the fish hit wait a second or two and set the hook, it will give them a chance to suck the bait into there mouth. I like to use a braid as my mainline but mono works just as good. Good Luck!
