I wouldnt go to either, Hit Macintosh! Ps There are Jumbo's in it this year!

Thanks for the info Skookum!  I grew up fishing that lake with my Grandpa and its been over 20 years since I last fished it.  Was recently thinking about taking my 6 year old out there for a trip down memory lane.  How have you been fishing it?
I would troll a worm behind a splitshot if you know how to rig it so the worm spins. Thats all i ever use.. People were doin good with wedding rings also. The guys that tie up were doing good with the normal powerbait and worms. Also I believe the regs say only 2 over 14". I seen a guy with 3 over 5 pounds :chuckle: I wouldnt have known either if somebody didnt tell about it in the regs so you might wanta check them 2 be sure. Good luck :tup:

Well Offut was a HIT!!  :IBCOOL:  Got there this morning at about 7am, got some night crawlers and jumped in the boat.  Got the both of us rigged, her with a green wedding ring with silver blade and myself with a red wedding right with silver blade both tipped with about a 1 inch crawler on them, started trolling around 7:30 and BAM right off the bat we had a double whammy with the both of us pulling in fish.  After getting new worms on both of our hooks we started again and she hit another fish no more than 2 minuets later.  By the end of the day she limited out and only lost two wile I landed 4, kept 3 and had 3 long distances releases. 

The morning bite was the best trolling about 40 yards off the banks, once the sun hit the water the fishing slowed down a tad but we were still picking up fish trolling about 25 yards from the banks and trolling just a tad faster.  Kept bumping the trolling motor to make it speed up (speed 4) then slow down (speed 1 or off) then pick back up to normal speed (2) and most of the fish hit as I dropped back down to 2. Once the rain hit the fishing picked back up a little bit but the motor was just about dead anyways at that point.  It took me 20 minuets to get back to the dock and we just called it a day at that point although the sun came right back out and I kinda wanted to go back out and keep fishing.  The rain soaked us both and she started getting cold so I figured best thing would be clean our trophies and get dry. 

All of the fish we landed were the average sized stockers but one of the fish that I had lost right at the boat was a bigger jumbo plant. 

I'll post some pics a bit latter
