TechniqueTrolling Mid Depth (10-19')SeasonSummerStructureBaitfishTrolling mid depth along flats and subtle depth changes produced lots of northern. Seemed to find better quality fish if you found deeper weed edges that extended out to 8-10 foot of water and you pulled outside those edges closer to 11-13 FOW. Surface Water temp was 80 degrees.

TechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationWith the 4th of July boat traffic it was tough to get away but it paid off. Attempted to pitch jigs, ned rigs and senkos towards emerged weeds and docks but with the traffic and pressure the bite was tough. The water was very murky and stained, with visibility about 1-2 feet across the lake. Managed to find a shoreline with some good submerged weeds and were able to utilize a chatterbait above the weeds to key in on a reaction bite.
