Long time memeber... dont post much thought Id contribute back. Went to Rock the other day, Cold (cant recall actual air temp) and windy 15mph gusts from the south. Water temperature averaged around 45-46f. This is my second year in my new boat still getting used to it, I had my Father in law with me who is a bank fisherman mostly. We ran up the west bank just beyond the house/first cove and put our lines out, I dropped our riggers down 12-16 feet using flashers and mini wiggle hoochies tipped with worm. One Green one Orange. around the 3/4 mile mark near the pinnacles & cross we hooked into a few smaller fish on our first pass. We continued fishing up to about 2 miles from the launch maintaining 100-150 yards from the bank. We trolled this stretch a few times with the wind motoring back and trolling back. We tried long lining and a planer board. In the end the best set up was green mini wiggle hoochie tipped with worm at about 18 feet around 1.4-1.8 mph. We landed 2-16" browns a few small rainbows and a nice 3lb rainbow. Good day all in all. And a warning to new people fishing this lake, 130 feet of water 100 yards from shore, 1minute later you are on top of 12 feet of water over a basalt pinnacle !! keep your eyes peeled if you dont want to loose your gear !
