<p>Steve, Bob Davis here. Wish I had known you were hitting the "Rock" this past summer. Would have made a strong effort to meet you at the "North End" Park just to shake hands and possibly hit the water some. I will be retiring in Jan. of next year and plan to spend a lot of my free time back out there again, both on the ice and when the water opens up again. Maybe we can get together anytime you're in the area. Sincerely, Bob</p>

<p>Bob I fished you're lake most of this summer including the Conditions you mentioned. I found a silver cast master in 3/16 oz. to be a super star under those flat conditions.My wife and grand daughter caught fish but the castmaster put 2/3 of them in the well on several trips. A 4/5 oz pimple in siver crushed ice was a close second. I was using a 15-20 count and just kept the trolling motor on low to cover new water.I tiped my spoons with waxes. Hope this helps.

The fish I was targeting were 15-20 foot down in 35-40 fow.Under cloudy or windy conditions these baits still work but I have been leaning twards shades of orange or blue.</p>

Bill, Tried spoonin' on our lake Saturday in almost 85 degree surface temps. The fish were there but they just didn't seem to want any of my offerings. Got a dozen and a half on trout worms but the bite was really slow due to the lack of any kind of wind at all. When you're set up for drifting, no wind means a tough bite. Thought spoonin' would resolve that issue but I wasn't getting the count down to the right depth or color issues. I know they're there but just couldn't connect on the…

2lb....I'm sure those same patterns still exist today......I'd like to find and target those fish, but would be afraid that those deep giants may not be releasable due to the massive pressure change they would experience during capture.

Excellent info on the deep gills! I will try my luck spooning in a similar water body in PA very soon.
