I would fish very close to the bottom ,with bait or spoons around the hump on the north end in front of Owls head.There is another hump in the cove on the east shore we have done very well in sept.in these spots .we pull suttons and records on copper but if you get it near the bottom you should do ok.Don't be afraid to lose a lure or 2.

troll sloooooooooow!

I did really well on DB's and mooselooks..

Orange/blk dots/copper back (we nicknamed it "chief's special)
orange/silver/
orange
sil/purp/blk
mother of pearl

all these colors where the most productive for me on lead core. I did not "yank" the bottom but I was draging the lead on the bottom at times when I had a known school of lakers pin pointed on the GPS.  This did work for me at times.

The best way to fish for lakers on Newfound this time of year is to drag bottom with copper line and sutton spoons (single hooks) or sewn on bait such as sucker or river chugs. Pay out line till you hit bottom and start jerking keeping tension on your line. If you think your going slow enough, slow down even more. Right now, I would troll anywhere from 35 - 65 FOW.

There's been one 8 lb'er caught this year and just recently rumor has it a 14 lb'er!

Good luck!
