Glad you asked about Maxi... I chose to fish Maxi today and if leaves were fish, I had a boat full. I am a troller for the most part and fished Max a week ago Sunday. I troll jigs/minnows in 8' to 12' of water with two rods and then cast a jerk bait either to the deeper or more shallow side. I fished today from 3 until 7:30 and caught one 17" smallie. With it now being dark at 5ish, I decided to cast a floating rapala after dark for a few hours, as this has the potential to produce but all I came home with, was very clean rapalas. Regardless, it was a beautiful few hours, outside, no mask, warm breeze, peace and quiet... Where ever you choose to go, you will have a great time... You are probably a much better fisherperson than me.
