Laker should still be in the top of the water column unless the water has really warmed up. We were able to get them pretty close to shore around the stream inlets 3 weeks ago fishing 5-25 down. We were trolling on riggers at 25 down and flat lining minnow baits on top. We only use a single attractor blade but I know guys do well with the cow bells. The salmon after ice out are hard to find in my opinion, more just luck. If your fishing the north end, try the deeper hole straight out from the launch. If your trying south fish out from Eagle point or up in front of Adirondack and fish the East shore. Good luck and let us know how you do.
