Day started about 8am, started good got 6 right off the bat and then it shut down, marked some big fish in pods, I think salmon came thru, picked up 2 more in about 3hrs. Went south and couldn't find a fish so returned back north and couldn't find any so we headed out to some old waypoints I had in 45 ft of water and decided to give it a half hour and give it up. Well we were putting things away and boom at 50 ft we found 7 nice big plump fish and a few doubles and it was a ball to pull them from 50 ft, all keepers over 9 inchs, ended with 15 descent fish. May have been the last trip on the big lake this year for us, we'll see, time to head inland.
Water was very very cloudy , temp was 58 to 59 degrees.
Good Luck.

Wow 50 ft huh.  We had to work for a couple limits but still only took about 4 hours. Stayed around 20 ft all day. They were scattered no big pods. Look d for random small weed beds and they were there right to the bottom. Always in the warmest areas around 61 degrees
