A little late on this one. Buddy and I went to Rock last Saturday. Got on the water at 7am, air temp was 30ish, water temp was 48. Very light wind to start the day. It got a little rougher, but not too bad. Still, it kept me from wanting to run to the north end.

We started out marking fish at 30ft, and close to shore and sitting close to the bottom. So we went to a light (1/2 oz) bottom bouncer with wedding ring w/ worms (a combo that had worked very well before)... no hits. So we casted the shore with blue/while floating and diving rapalas and that did the trick. We picked up 5 browns between us both casting and trolling the rapalas.

On a side note, sonar picked up 30 plus fish grouped off one point suspended in 15-30 feet of water. We couldn't get any of these to hit anything despite throwing the kitchen sink at them. Bass? Carp? Anyone else see this? Ideas?

After fishing this lake for nearly 8 years, and very often the last 2, I'm starting to get things figured out :) The wind is always an issue though. I've gotten stuck once at Johnson's Beach and now get gun-shy with even a slight breeze! Maybe its time for a bigger boat!!!

See ya out there!
