Look for wind blown shorelines and structure, watch your electronics for fish. Troll about 1/2 mph. Use leaches, crawlers and minnows. If using a crawler use the worm blower to give it a puff of air that will keep it of the bottom. When you feel the bite release your line and feed it to them to a count of 10 and reel back to the fish slow tell you feel the fish and set the hook. Good Luck!

Summer is a great time to use swim baits casting on the shallow rock piles on the lake. I like a 1/4 oz jig with a Ripple Shad, and locate the rock and put your trolling motor down and start casting into them. I use Fireline with about 3-5’ of 8 lb mono and tie the mono directly to the fireline. Start on the wind blown side first and work your way around the rocks casting up into them. Good luck
