Fished for a few hours Tuesday evening. Caught 2 and lost a big one all on the magdraft. Tried flipping a jig and throwing a glide bait but couldnt get any bites. The 3 bites I got were all main lake rock. I tried 2 different pockets with wood and just didnt get anything but most reports locally are saying they are catching them there.
